NY Gov Cuomo Threatens Trump: ‘He Better Have an Army If He Thinks He’s Gonna Walk Down The Street in New York’

On Wednesday, New York Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo threatened President Trump in response to an announcement that the president is looking to review federal funding to “lawless” cities that have allowed anarchist violence.

Cuomo, the New York Post said, “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,” Cuomo said.

“He can’t have enough bodyguards to walk through New York City, people don’t want to have anything to do with him,” he added.

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

The Post added:

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.

“I think it’s because he is from New York City and New York City rejected him, always,” Cuomo said. “He was dismissed as a clown in New York City, those who know him best, like him least.”

But as quite a few people noted, Trump already has an army.  And more — much more.

Our good friend Jeff Dunetz noted:

It sure sounds like a threat to us.

Heh. Something tells us quite a few others would as well.

Then there’s this take:

That explains it.

This, by the way, is the modern Democrat Party.  Let that sink in.
