I don’t trust Cuomo as far as I can throw him. Trump is going to ask for something huge.
Here’s Cuomo’s chance to prove that he’s a Democrat, and a patriot. Slip something in tRump’s cheeseburger and fries.
Is it possible to super-saturate KFC with even more artery clogging fat? Thanks for so, please proceed…
Will Cuomo literally arrive with a heavy briefcase and leave without it? The only interest Trump can have in the project is what he and his family are getting out of it.
Well, this is Cuomo’s opportunity to leverage his de facto membership of the GOP into something good for NY. That’s his whole shtick–that he has a foot in both camps and is uniquely productive as a result. (He’s isn’t. He’s uniquely unproductive.) So he’d better not emerge empty-handed (which he will).
The other thing is that NY has billionaires aplenty who have benefited massively from the Trump Tax Scam. They could be made subject to NY taxes that in effect leave them paying Obama-level taxes and transfers their unconscionable federal tax windfall to the NY coffers. But not under Cuomo. We have hedge fundsters and real estate moguls who are sitting on huge piles of loophole tax windfalls while the rest of us are paying our share. But Cuomo is funded by these guys so gives them these massive kickbacks.
And finally, the famously useless and corrupt Port Authority of NY and NJ is responsible for this kind of interstate infrastructure project. It isn’t headed by transportation or urban planning experts. It’s headed by Cuomo’s political donors and henchmen.
There will be disappointment in both counts.
Is this a working lunch? On the clock so you can get paid. We know how busy you are.
Cuomo knows that Gateway has to happen or NY will be cut off from NJ the next hurricane that hits. Trump has been using every trick in the book to block it, but now he needs an “achievement”.
Sadly, I fear that you are right.
Maybe cuomo can show him the bottom of the hudson river.
lots of lost souls swimming around down there.
need one for the country. lol
two NY politicians get together…what could possibly go wrong for the rest of the country.
Good Gawd!
!
Cuomo is either a fucking idiot, or desperate to show his gangster bonafides.
It’s inconceivable that anyone meeting with this evil ogre of a preznit, can’t see through his malevolencies - Trump family (including Kushner) will never see a deal through without getting a cut. Period.
Outside of the obvious, Wilson laid out Trump’s tangled web of cooties, in his book:
