Gov. Cuomo says: Trump ‘better have an army’ to protect him if he comes to NYC

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Wednesday all but threatened President Trump’s safety if he returns to New York City in a rant responding to an exclusive story by The Post that Trump is looking to pull federal funds from “lawless” cities including New York.

Cuomo called an emergency press briefing within a half hour on Wednesday night to tear into Trump for the order, which cites New York’s rising murder rate and defunding of the NYPD.

“He better have an army if he thinks he’s gonna walk down the street in New York. New Yorkers don’t want to have anything to do with him,” the Democrat said, all but threatening the commander in chief.

But Cuomo, who like Trump hails from Queens, wasn’t done. “He can’t have enough bodyguards to walk through New York City, people don’t want to have anything to do with him.”

On substance, Cuomo said he doubted the legality of Trump’s five-page memo ordering a review of federal funds that can be redirected from New York City, Portland, Seattle and Washington, DC.

“It is more of the same from him. It’s political, it is gratuitous. And it’s illegal. But it is another attempt to kill New York City,” Cuomo said.

“President Ford said drop dead. President Trump has been actively trying to kill New York City since he’s been elected,” he said.

In highly personal and insulting language, Cuomo speculated that Trump wasn’t upset about New York’s soaring murder rate and shootings.

"Isn’t there some sort of solemn oath the public officials take to protect their jurisdiction’s people and uphold the state and federal laws?"

They are sworn to uphold the laws of their cities, state, and the U.S. Constitution, but all of the Democrat Mayors and Governors have been in violation of their oaths of office.

I’m sorry Cuomo, I didn’t hear you. Could you, um, repeat that?

So the Mafia consigliari has spoken. Finally he has come out of the closet and showed the world that he is a raving, fascist psychopath.

“Knock, knock”!
“Who’s there” asks Cuomo.
“Secret Service”.
Blattttt! The sound of Andrew crapping in his pants.

Governor CuoMOB and Mayor DeCommieo are the ones responsible for the mess in NYC. Andy and Billy know they screwed up, but like all Democrats they can never take the blame for the things they destroy!

CommieCuomo trying deflect from the murders he caused to all of the nursing home residents.

NYC is so perverted and filthy, because of this thug - and Co-commie, DeBlob’s shameless policies, yet he has the nerve to threaten POTUS??

I hope New Yorkers have enough of this tool, soon.

How much more are they willing to let these two continue the destruction and demise of old NY??

If they want nothing to do with him, how does he keep getting re-elected? Same question for DiBlowhard.

Big Bird speaks:

While @realDonaldTrump spent this year hiding from COVID-19, New York City led the fight back.

Now we’re trying to recover and he’s making unconstitutional, political threats against us.

Certainly sounds like he did. If it had been another jerk from another city, the Secret Service would have been immediately called into action. They weren’t called because, you know, it’s just politics and that’s what politicians do.
