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.

I answered your question. Just because you don’t like the answer does not make it a non answer. desanctomonious closed the beaches and many business, and made it mandatory, that accomplished nothing but to ruin peoples lives. He has signed legislation that criminalizes hate/free speech. He signed legislation that makes it voluntary for companies to comply with laws against hiring illegal aliens. By his silence, he supports the 2020 steal and the persecution of Trump and anyone that supports Trump. I could go on and on, but that’s enough time wasted on you.

Is there no azz so repugnant that Trump won’t kiss it if he thinks it will give him a political advantage? Cuomo, seriously? Trump gets more ridiculous by the day.

What planet is Trump living on? He criticized DeSantis and Georgia governor Kemp for wanting to reopen earlier than Fauci recommended.

Didn’t he also criticism the North(South) Dakota governor for something similar. I think she was following a sort of Swedish approach to COVID. Note Sweden seemed to have had the best record in Europe.

Judge for yourself based on the postings you read here. Do you think he is actually gaining a single vote with this petulance?

What Democrat? You making up lies? Why is that always the desanctomonious supporters first move. The second is to start sourcing left wing media. So save both of us the time and let’s assume you posted a quote from the Washington compost.

The real problem is that it appears DDS (DeSantis Derangement Syndrome) appears to have infected many if not most Freepers.

Were'nt most of you Trump crushing sycophants saying during Covid..."Just let it rip, herd immunity". Now that out of gas Trump is staring down a real competitor, some of you are acting like the tranny mob, acting irrationally and out of emotion. What now you want to use Covid to prop up two time loser Trump?

Some of you are really pathetic slobs, as bad as what they say about you.

Trump has again got the numbers wrong. N fairness, math isn’t Trump’s strong suit as evidenced by the 6 corporate bankruptcies he has filed.

“Sure, see bush or paul ryan or carl rove or mitt romney or mcconnell .... You know, the people behind the desanctomoniuos campaign.”

Tell me, what do you think of that politician that endorsed Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, and Mitt Romney?

Use your own words.
