Trump to New York: 'Stop complaining'
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
A day after New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) projected that 16,000 New Yorkers could die of the novel coronavirus by the time the outbreak has run its course, President Trump told the state to "stop complaining."
"New York has gotten far more than any other state, including hospitals and a hospital ship, but no matter what, always complaining," the president said in a tweet addressing criticisms from Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.). "It wouldn't matter if you got ten times what was needed, it would never be good enough. Unlike other states, New York unfortunately got off to a late start. You should have pushed harder. Stop complaining and find out where all of these supplies are going."
New York is the center of the U.S. coronavirus outbreak , with over 83,800 cases and nearly 2,000 deaths as of Thursday morning; the next highest statewide death toll, in New Jersey, is just 355 cases. Many leaders in New York have pleaded for relief for the city's overburdened hospitals, with Mayor Bill de Blasio saying Wednesday that the city needs 3.3 million N95 masks, 2.1 million surgical masks, 100,0000 isolation gowns, and 400 ventilators by Sunday to keep up with the exploding demand.
Trump's tweets apparently came in response to a tweet from Schumer, in which the senator echoed local concerns: "President Trump needs to harness industry to quickly produce more medical supplies and equipment under the Defense Production Act NOW," he'd tweeted. "He needs to appoint a czar like a military or logistics expert to lead the effort to make and get the supplies where they're needed." Jeva Lange

Trump has two reasons that he wants to be "at war" with New York. One is that he doesnt want to be seen as the main person responsible for the national coronavirus response ( I have no responsibility) so he can deflect all blame, and the other is because his hardline conservative advisers dont want the federal government to play a big part.
People will die? Everyone dies.
I dub this pandemic the orange plague in POS/POTUS's honor.
btw, anybody seen jr and his girlfriend lately? bwah ha ha ha...
Congress will inevitably have hearings on why the response was so screwed up.
The WORST president ever!
"Trump to New York: 'Stop complaining"
Yep !
"Cuomo rips attempts to ban New Yorkers' travel to other states, vowing to sue Rhode Island"
"So it is with some befuddlement that I report that there’s a clip circulating of CNN host Chris Cuomo and his brother, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, in the midst of an actual pandemic, bickering on-air about which one is their mother’s favorite"
"Gov. Cuomo says he won’t approve coronavirus ‘shelter-in-place’ order for New York City after mayor tells residents to prepare"
"Cuomo considers banning cigarette sales for six weeks amid Coronavirus outbreak"
Gov. Cuomo is nothing but a politician...... not some savior !
Link?
WOW !
Did you even "Click" on them ?
So, another bit of fake news in the headline?
But then you read and you find out Trump wasn’t saying anything to New York - the state or the people. He was saying it to one particular person who often seems to do nothing but complain: Chuck Schumer. And he didn’t just tell him to stop complaining. He told him to instead get informed about what is really happening.
Nothing at all wrong with any of that. And it’s definitely not “Trump to New York”
...It wouldn’t matter if you got ten times what was needed, it would never be good enough. Unlike other states, New York unfortunately got off to a late start. You should have pushed harder. Stop complaining & find out where all of these supplies are going
So, impeach Trump. That's what Congress was doing when all of this started. The only response Congress has made to the pandemic is to throw boatloads of public money and heckle from the cheap seats. New York is stockpiling supplies in the midst of a crisis and complaining they aren't getting enough. New York isn't managing anything other that political PR; New York is trying cover its backside late in the game.
Based on numbers being reported around the world, the mortality rate among identified cases has been between 5 and 10 pct. That's 50 to 100 times more deadly than the flu; not 10 times as the health officials were originally reporting.
The models have been wrong from the beginning. The experts' best information hasn't held up to reality. And the complaints are that Trump isn't smarter than the career experts who have been planning for this over decades. So, yes, this is far worse than the experts have been telling us.
We're flying on a WAG and prayer.
