Cuomo taking it to trump

Could be interesting this

They really don't like each other at all the two, there will ultimately only be one winner though

As cuomo has just claimed that the state has supremacy over the national government, what can trump do

Would it be actions like witholding funding?

The death rate per million from Covid 19 in the UK is over twice as high as it is in America.I think some people are making the mistake of  judging the two countries responses to Coronovirus on how composed the leaders are in the daily press conferences.I also think the UK government is managing their press more carefully than the US. for example they will let Laura Keunssberg  ask her polite questions but they won't let Emily Maitlis from Newsnight get stuck into them live on TV.

The daily press conferences should just be a sideshow to the more serious matters of national policies geared to saving lives but i think the likes of Spider are throwing out 7/10s for the UK and mocking America based mostly on the press conferences.If people look at the death rate it is much worse in the UK than America

I’m not mocking America, I’m mocking Trump.

Cuomo has just demonstrated how good Americans can be. I’m fact he’s just handed Trumps arse to him on a plate.

Trump treats the daily press conferences as a voting rally. It’s always about him. Any journalist who challenges him is told they are shit at their job.

I’m judging our government on what I see 16 hours a day. Boris, who isn’t perfect, has done ok and has surrounded himself with calm, measured people.

As for America, give it time.

I always tell my American friends they should watch PM question time, it would fuck most Presidents up if they had to do that every week

Cuomo's brother is a presenter on CNN, no surprise he's laying into Trump

Didn't the brothers have a very public spat on TV recently?

There isn’t anything he can do when it’s a nationwide emergency, let alone a pandemic. 
I suppose he could attack state governors but ultimately it’s out of his hands.

Pulling funding to the WHO during a global pandemic in an attempt to shift the blame away from him. Classy.

Over the failure to alert America about the virus.

Broke out in the middle of December 

Alerted in January

February played golf.

March - April 25,000 Americans die.

What I think is interesting is the day Americans start to receive their $1200 stimulus cheques is when he withdraws WHO funding.

For what it's worth, he's got a point with that.

And it’ll be spun that he saved billions of dollars for the American people

USA 🇺🇸 USA🇺🇸 USA 👲🏻

They are supposed to be independent.

Seems to me they rang the Chinese up in December, and said

"That virus, do we need to worry? Can humans transmit it to each other?)

"Er, no no, it's fine, we've got this covered, you crack on. Merry xmas."
 

"Brill, thanks. We'll just put our billion dollar invoice in to the 196 nations that fund us"

 

They had 1 job here, they've not covered themselves in glory.

I've not a clue of the situation here, and how well the WHO preformed, but it must be difficult dealing with the Chinese at the best of times, let alone when an epidemic is starting.
