New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy said he had a “very productive” conversation with Trump on Friday, but that “nothing about quarantine came up.”
“Until further notified we are going to continue to do what we’re doing,” Murphy said. “Do we consider regularly taking further steps? You bet. Whether prompted by the president or more often than not our own. We will continue to be as aggressive as we have been, and not let up.”that a strict quarantine of the three states was unnecessary and said that he wanted to speak to Trump "directly about his comments and any further enforcement actions, because confusion leads to panic.
A senior administration official said Trump spoke with Cuomo on Air Force One. The official said the White House coronavirus task force has been telling the president that stricter guidelines may be necessary in New York, where federal officials have already called for people leaving the city and going elsewhere to self-quarantine for two weeks.
"We're talking to Rhode Island now. If they don't roll back that policy, I'm going to sue Rhode Island because that clearly is unconstitutional," Cuomo said on CNN. Trump also said that the Comfort “will provide a critical surge capacity” for the New York metropolitan area. The ship — outfitted with 12 fully equipped operating rooms and 1,000 hospital beds — will serve as medical backup for people not infected with the virus who need critical care while hospitals are overrun with Covid-19 cases.
The Covid 19 pandemics affect on America is so much worse because of the moron realDonaldTrump
He was just posturing, trying to intimidate Gov. Cuomo. Good job Governor.
Shocking... He's not doing something that is not within his power...
Breaking: Trump finds out he doesn’t have unlimited power. Finally!!
The whole purpose of his announcement to quarantine New York for those of you who are too stupid to realize that, He' makes these statements to create fear, chaos, uncertainty, and basically just fucking with everyone.Keep believing & buying into his bulshit ! You're doing great'
Governor Cuomo has Spoken and President Trump listened!
Yes, no, maybe, we’re looking into that, we’ll see what happens, I never said that, something big could happen, hoax, Democrats did, missing emails, ...what was the question?
So I guess he does listen to the e Peet’s who are advising him
Andy wants to move infected patients to hospitals in Upstate towns. Self-isolation, quarantine and stay-at-home means infected must not leave their hot-spot. Our governor is no medical practitioner: move sick patients to uninfected areas to infect a WHOLE STATE? HELL NO!!!
dump Trump
Active minds travel many avenues toward a solution.
Ok. That's fine. But, GovernorDeSantis should close Flotida.
Maybe Cuomo should be the president
Oh!, that's all right then, ffs section this man before it's too late.
Same routine, float a bs trial balloon of outrageous action, if media pushes back hard the coward withers away, learn the lesson of fixing this lunatic, he craves acceptance and bet your ass world leases are playing him
did someone tell him he couldnt. What a tool
Now what about Rhode Island?
Well, he gave into Cuomo. States rights. Will Democrats be happy?
Seriously, does this idiot ever make a decision then stick to it?
Translation: 'I was just making sh** up when I said that anyway'
After Gov Cuomo said in a news conference he didn’t think dotard could legally do that, dotard has since backed away from that
No power DT.
But how would he have jurisdiction to do only a city?
I’m sure New York is mighty happy about that - don’t think president knew he couldn’t really do it! Idiot
If course he’s not. It was another thought he pulled from his ass.
He already backed down on this - probably didn't know what quarantining meant.
POS is not a soverign! Good grief!
Trump is out of control, incompetent, and in the White House. He’s is an ever present danger.
I’m glad the US federal government didn’t start an actual war with New York state today
realDonaldTrump DonaldJTrumpJr We must quarantine. Nationally!!! We must immediately begin a national quarantine, test absolutely everyone and disinfect everything... NOW. Forget Social Distancing...!!!
Hannity must have gotten to him...
He couldn’t do it anyway.
Breaking: A thing that had zero potential of happening is, in fact... not happening.
Because in 2 days there will be another
Trump was warned byintelligence officials of the nature of this virus months ago when he was still playing it down.
He cant
Knobhead!
YOU ARE A DISASTER !!! Yes, Donald, YOU!
I thought the governor had that right.
Donald you cannot quarantine a city or area
He won’t because legally he CAN’T. Good gods he’s a moron.
Let's put him in quarantine. He's the worst human virus affecting this Nation.
Blah blah blah blah
Because trump worked with NYGovCuomo to determine the best strategy. Thank the Lord! Teamwork! COVID19 NewYorkCity NewYorkers
Can we quarantine him?
Someone needs to quarantine Trump
Because he can’t it’s illegal MoronInChief TrumptheWorstPresidentEVER
He doesn't have the authority to do so...
He had no power to do that cuz it’s up to the governors after the military and national guard say it is necessary
Wag the dog...
BECAUSE HE CANT !!!
Let Govovernor’s govern
I bet neither Cuomo nor de Blasio care what Trump thinks.
I will listen to NYGovCuomo thank you! Please Resign 🙏realDonaldTrump
Just floated up a balloon... nah not good today
What probably changed his mind was when he realized he doesn’t have the power to do that! Stable genius my ass!
666
It’s up to the local governor to quarantine them, not Trump 🙄
“I have decided not to do something I couldn’t have possibly done”
He is a bully - bullies always back down when confronted
He does everything for attention. Media falls for it every time.
Did someone read the appropriate bits of Constitutional law to the ignorant jackhole?
as if that would work..lol silly tweets from a incompetent man
Because he legally cannot and because the governors of those three (3) states are way, way ahead of that moron we have in office. No doubt about it, realDonaldTrump is as dumb as drywall.
People will die because this president is a greedy, corrupt sociopath. It's time to invoke the 25th Amendment and save lives.
Typical trump...Ready!!! Fire!!! Aim!!!!
He never had the power to do it in the first place.
The best thing the Impeached President could for the Country he claims to love is resign -
TRUMP NOON. We attack at dawn! TRUMP MIDNIGHT. I'll consider attacking at dawn! TRUMP DAWN. Hits snooze button.
Everything's a reality TV show with this psychopath.
He never was - just wanted some free press - this guy creates his own “fake” news
Because you do not take your responsibility seriously. People in hot spots must quarantine and not go to less infected parts of the country. Disservice for all of us. Same thing is happening in Texas. The numbers will grow due to lack of courage to do the right thing.
Please people.. you can't listen to anything the guy has to say.... NOTHING, NADA, ZIP......
🤮👹
Mumbled messaging; unnecessary confusion; pointless press conferences; useless potus
Testing the water to see whether America is ready for martial yet. Answer: No, not yet but keep trying. Ok, I will. Fallback: That was another great distraction that worked well. Let's find another rabbit hole for the MSM folks to dive into. What's next?
He’s a slower learner.Finally figured he did not have the power.
Did someone slip him a copy of the constitution?
Good news that a quarantine is not needed
He backed off because like everything else he says, he said it off the cuff, wanting to sound like a hero (he’s not), but having no clue if he even had the authority to do it. As always, a failure. A day late & many lives short.
As an RN? This is going to grow exponentially. We are going to see our country devastated in the next 2 months. No mass testing. No containment. No coherent leadership. I am at a loss.
It proofs that there is no national strategic policy to win this war. All talk.
....But he doesn't have the power to even do so, right?
Once again Trump has demonstrated his recklessness and ineptitude. How much more can we take?
Diarrhea of the mouth. Constantly!🤮
Becaue he knows it’s unconstitutional. Please people.
Well, he got attention, which is all he fucking cares about.
Because he can't.
Trump wasted 2 months where he could have stopped this Pandemic from spreading but now countless people are going to die. Trump should be removed from office.
The President doesn't have the Authority to quarantine states... that's up to the Governors.
Call his bluff and he backs the f*** down.....old news!!!!!
Because he can’t ! Idiot !
It's not his decision. The governor and the mayor decides that. What happened to the 10th Amendment, or does that only apply to red states now?
Stop reporting this as if he actually had the authority to do so. He didn't! PLEASE stop allowing trump to get control of the news cycle with this crap. All he wants to do is distract from the fact that he's killing Americans with his lies and stupidity.
No need for this to be “breaking” because anyone with a brain knew Trump couldn’t do it even if he wanted to.
Humpty Trumpty fell down again. Sad!
Back yo ass up!
Probably because the orange twatwaffle has no authority to do so. Can’t fool us, realDonaldTrump
Article needs to mention that he couldn’t quarantine within US borders even if he wanted
Might be good to mention it was never something he could have done in the first place.
Dumbest *headline* of the week - and that takes some doing.
Say you are going to do something outrageous. Then say you stepped in and stopped it from happening. Take credit for it not happening and, thereby, saving the world. Rinse and repeat.
