.@NYGovCuomo is challenging the president's idea of a quarantine and says "this is a civil war kind of discussion"..."I don't believe he could be serious" regarding any lockdown. Trashing the concept entirely.

As we reported earlier from our interaction with the president on the South Lawn >>>

Donald J. Trump ✔@realDonaldTrump

I am giving consideration to a QUARANTINE of developing “hot spots”, New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. A decision will be made, one way or another, shortly.

1. Trump was just repeating something the last person he had talked to...

I think it was Governor De Santis of Florida?

He is just trying to cover his butt because he wants to blame someone else for the virus that is about to hit Florida and wants to blame it on NY. He did nothing while spring break was going on.

8. I think De Santis. Trump even specifically mentioned people from NY going to FL, same as De Santis.

9. I agree completely.

2. Weird - 2 weeks ago he wanted a federal quarantine.

Something about 'he could limit things in NYC but then people would just go to NJ'.

VERY confused now.

3. I had that on

The CNN interviewer was not very good. She wouldn't get off this and move on.

4. Excellent reply!

Shitler prob wants to isolate these blue states so he would have an "excuse" to not send in supplies & support staff! 🤬

5. California and Washington aren't included so this looks

like another one of Toddler Trump's petty revenge rages. He has a mad. He won't let it go. Cuomo is his target and Trump's going to try to hurt him.

Doesn't matter that millions of scared and sick Americans are going to get caught up in Trump's asinine vendetta. Doesn't matter who he hurts, the damages his little snit will cause to businesses that are already in survival mode. Trump will try to ruin New York because that's what will hurt Cuomo the most.

We didn't know just how prescient Trump's inaugural speech, "American Carnage", really was.

6. We ignore this fool at our own peril.

When someone tells you who they are, believe them.

7. Trump doesnt have the respect, OR the cops needed.

The Gov is respected enough that if he says, 'I need to lockdown, say queens or Manhattan for 14 days';
That's probably citizen self enforceable.

If trump does it, AND TRIES TO FORCE IT INTO REALITY, it simply wont work. There arent enough cops. Hed have to use active duty military to enforce that quarantine, and that WILL backfire all over his fatass.

That's my 2 cents.
