Cuomo’s Threat to Trump: He Sounds Like a Toddler
Gov. Cuomo doesn’t speak for me on President Trump pulling funds for New York and three other cities that allowed and encouraged outright anarchy and destruction (“Don’s order: Defund NYC,” Sept. 3).
Cuomo is acting like a Mafioso, making threats. He think he’s a tough guy, but he is actually a duplicitous and feckless leader.
He and his equally spineless and appalling cohort, Mayor de Blasio, have done nothing to stem violence and hold criminals accountable. Instead, they allow fringe anarchists to determine how our city is run.
Sure, they can cry and yell like a toddler throwing a temper tantrum about funding being pulled. This rests squarely on their shoulders.
Cuomo and de Blasio created this mess. They can take their punishment and penalties like big boys. Actions and inaction have consequences.

Cuomo’s warning that Trump “better bring an army to protect him” if he comes to New York City might apply to anyone with the courage to set foot here at any time of day or night, what with the city’s surging crime rate and dismantled police force.
A bulletproof vest might also be of use, along with a Sherman tank and bunker or two.

Cuomo told the president that he would not be welcome in the city of New York and that he would need an army to protect him. That is a threat.
This state and city want to be bailed out by the federal government, while they throw taxpayer money to the wolves.
With the Democraticrun Assembly in Albany and the City Council in New York, our state has become a shooting gallery, with innocents being mowed down, and COVID is blamed.
No, fools: It’s not Trump who has hurt the country, but all the elected officials who have kowtowed to the mobs.

Cuomo threatened Trump, telling him he’ll need bodyguards in New York City.
Shame on Cuomo and de Blasio, who both have ruined an incredible city by permitting violence, looting and needless killing of citizens, by releasing prisoners and by allowing the homeless to live on streets. What did they expect? Remember to vote.

Cuomo needs to see his dentist: He put his foot in his mouth again.
He said that the president would need an army if he comes to de Blasio’s Rotten Apple. Hell, who doesn’t?
With cuts to the police budget (excepting for de Blasio’s own home, guarded by a phalanx of police), safety in the city is about as bad as the nursing homes where Cuomo sent infected patients.

Cuomo’s threat that Trump would need an army to protect him in the streets of New York City is unacceptable and unadult behavior.
The Democrats have continued to hit new lows, politically and morally, and hopefully New Yorkers and Democrats around the country will wake up and vote these bums out of office.
What has happened to New York City is beyond sad. When will de Blasio and Cuomo realize that, by wishing good riddance to Trump and other big taxpayers, they are hurting the city and state financially?

The governor of New York just told the president of the United States that he better have an army of bodyguards if he wants to walk down the streets of New York.
That is either an indictment of the reduced lawenforcement policies imposed by Cuomo and the idiotic mayor in this once-great city and state, or it is an indirect threat against the president.
Perhaps a more appropriate response would be for these fools to review their police “reforms,” which have led to the lawlessness in New York that forced the president to react the way he has.
