Trump says ‘even Cuomo’ did better than DeSantis on COVID-19
The Hill ^ | 05/25/2023

Posted on 05/25/2023 11:39:03 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Former President Trump says “even” former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) handled the coronavirus pandemic better than Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), his latest attack the day after DeSantis officially joined the 2024 GOP presidential primary.

Trump said in a video from his campaign on Thursday that Florida had among the highest number of deaths from COVID-19 in the country and shut down numerous public locations at the onset of the pandemic, including beaches. “How about the fact that he had the third-most deaths of any state… Even Cuomo did better. He was No. 4,” Trump said.

Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed that Florida had the third-highest number of COVID-19-related deaths in 2021, while New York had the fourth-most. But the data also shows Florida had the 18th-highest death rate per 100,000 residents that year.

As usual, you have no clue about the conversation you butted into.

Oh they matter (seniors)...it just changes the “who did better” argument.

Kind of a silly argument anyway...COVID treatment protocols were nationwide/federal/CDC/AMA anyway. Biggest differences...DeSantis went above & beyond with monoclonal antibodies, and Cuomo went “for the kill” of seniors in nursing homes.

This is what was meant by “New Yok values.”

Trump is genuinely scared of DeSantis, in a way he isn’t of any of the other Republicans (some of whom I like a lot.)

This kind of talk is turning me off

I don't know why you say that. Many Americans died. It's perfectly legitimate to discuss what the different states did and how that affected the numbers.

Not scared, really, I don’t think, but aware that certain money forces are backing what they see as the biggest threat to Trump.

I’m still voting for Trump but this talk may turn off other voters.

COVID is bad for old people.

It’s very bad for old unvaccinated people.

Florida had plenty of both.

“I want Biden out above all else”

You are in good shape. Biden will not be running next year.

“ The country isn’t going to survive another four years of DNC rule”

The country won’t survive GOP rule either, because they are unified with the DNC on all important issues.

But people are arguing that all can be forgiven because after all there are so many old people in Florida.

When it's just the reverse:

When you have a high proportion of old people, you should try harder to prevent the illness and deaths, not be more slack about it, and then use your high aging population as an excuse for your high numbers.

The removal of the protections was a political ploy at the sacrifice of real people.

This is the aspect of Trump that truly sucks.. he just doesn’t get it with respect to how they played him during Covid. And this point makes Trump look like an ASS. Its a real shame.. this is where his style really hurts him.. this is not the way to fight against Desantis. Instead it is the way to lose to him.
