CUOMO: I have to do more? No -- YOU have to do something! You're supposed to be the President.

Trump Tells Governors to Get Own Medical Equipment

“President Trump told a group of governors Monday morning that they should not wait for the federal government to fill the growing demand for respirators needed to help people diagnosed with coronavirus,” the New York Times reports.

Said Trump: “Respirators, ventilators, all of the equipment — try getting it yourselves… We will be backing you, but try getting it yourselves. Point of sales, much better, much more direct if you can get it yourself.”

“The suggestion surprised some of the governors, who have been scrambling to contain the outbreak and are increasingly looking to the federal government for help with equipment, personnel and financial aid.”

4. Gov. Cuomo . . . .

You and many other Governors know or should know that t-rump does not care about the USA nor her people.

9. I'm SURE they know..............

it's the millions of Americans out there (easy to identify - they're wearing red caps) that don't realize that - or care.

5. Give him a break -

he has some very pressing golf outtings to get too.

6. Pardon me? Cuomo has to do more?

He’s essentially been modeling how the statewide response should be executed.

What can be done at the state level has been or is currently being executed.

This is outrageous that Trump is telling Cuomo to “do more...”

[Proud Liberal Dem]

7. What about the presser on Friday?

He said that he would helping ensure that states and local communities have respirators? Another lie?

[Blecht]

8. Fucking Maggie Haberman

"Both sides, who knows who's right?"

"Journalists" like her are complicit in this negligence.

10. Maybe it's time for the governors to collectively tell the orange asswipe to just be quiet and get

the hell out of the way.
