Why did Trump meet with Governor Andrew Cuomo today ??

Reportedly, it was about some sort of "Trusted Traveler Program"?

Maybe it was about something else?

Maybe Barr knows about it?

Maybe McConnell knows about it?

Maybe Lou Dobbs knows about it?

The conspiracy theories abound.

Because they don't cooperate with ICE thugs. They're blocking New Yorkers from joining the Trusted Travelers Program, and blocking them from all car exports. Serious economic retaliatory hit.

He most likely used the meeting to intimidate or buy off Cuomo in an effort to put a lid on the next big scandal ready to blow. I sense the stinky breeze of a coming shit storm.

Official Twitter account of New York Attorney General Letitia James’ Office.

When you stop violating the rights and liberties of all New Yorkers, we will stand down.

Until then, we have a duty and responsibility to defend the Constitution and the rule of law.

BTW, I file the lawsuits, not the Governor.

I’m seeing Governor Cuomo today at The White House. He must understand that National Security far exceeds politics. New York must stop all of its unnecessary lawsuits & harrassment, start cleaning itself up, and lowering taxes. Build relationships, but don’t bring Fredo!
