“You’re supposed to be the president!” Nice shot, Governor.
Pack this with the “fake president” and “Hilary got more votes!” themes.

Trump (thinking to himself how he will show Cuomo how it’s done) makes a toll-free phone call and says, “Yeah, I’ll start with about a million rolls of those.”

I’ll never forgive Cuomo for botching the nuclear disarmament of Iran.

I didn’t think it was possible to loathe Trump more than I did but I loathe Cuomo and damn but do I resent having to cheer for him for administering the sick burns on his fellow Queens-bred dynastic narcissist.

After 1,152 days in office, Trump still has not shown the appropriate temperament to hold the office of President. Cuomo’s response of “You’re supposed to be the President” is all too true. Alas, Trump has failed to be President.

This is an admirable retort to our play-acting president. But let’s get real. Cuomo is asking way too much from a sociopathic narcissist.

Trump is killing New Yorkers as punishment for not voting for him and for the state government investigating and prosecuting him.

PERIOD.

I’m a New Yorker and a occasional Cuomo critic. No self aggrandizing but he’s stepped up to the plate here.

Please explain how Cuomo “botched” the Iranian nuclear deal?

“Trusted Travelers” program. Trump’s Department of Homeland Security enacted the freeze after New York passed a law that blocked federal immigration officials from accessing the state’s DMV records.

Oh, donnie, I don’t think that’s going to piss off nearly as many NYers as you thought it would back when you did it, given no one is going anywhere anytime soon.

Actually, Donnie is NOT supposed to be President. By over 3 million votes.

I actually feel sorry for Cuomo. He is fighting a two front war. A ridiculous buffoon in the white house on his right, and a ridiculous buffoon in gracy mansion on his left…

”Cuomo of New York has to ‘do more,'” Trump wrote

That’s up there with “ I take no responsibility ” - Donald J. Trump

But Trump tried to acquire the exclusive rights to the German CureVac vaccine so he rake in the profits!

What a PANDUMBDICK DON you are!

I agree, Cuomo should do more. Start with immediately commandeering Trump Tower and any other Trump properties in NY for use as emergency hospital overflows.

Sarcasm is our friend.

Also, there’s a bloke named The Ghost of Eustace Tilley, representing the gold standard of sarcasm.
