4. Chump has already come out with a campaign ad featuring positive comments

made by Govs. Cuomo, Newsom, Murphy (NJ), and Grisham (NM) with regard to Chump's co-operation with their respective states. You can be sure any joint presser would end up as more of Chump propaganda. Smart move by Cuomo. He's no fool, and isn't about to be played by Chump.

This new ad splices together statements from New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy and New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham. In the ad, each governor has something positive to say about Trump himself or the federal government.

Cuomo is featured lauding the work of Trump and his administration.

"His team is on it," Cuomo said. "I know a team when they are on it, and I know a team when they are not on it. His team is on it."

The ad begins and ends with Newsom, who at one point looks at the camera and says "So, conversation, commitment, promise made. Promise kept."

"Promises made, promises kept" is a slogan used by the Trump campaign in their pitch to voters.
