President Donald Trump said Monday that New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, whose response to the Empire State's coronavirus outbreak has elevated his national profile, would be a stronger Democratic opponent for November's election than Joe Biden.
Trump added: "Now, it's every poll that says I'm going to win, because you say [Cuomo's] gotten good marks, but I've gotten great marks on what we've done with respect to this. I've gotten great marks and even from almost every Democratic governor, so I've gotten great marks also, but we want to always make sure we have a great president and somebody that's capable. I personally don't think Joe Biden is capable.
“So I mean, one of the things — and I think he’d admit this — one of the reasons he’s been successful, if I said, 'No, we’re not giving you four hospitals and we’re not giving you four medical centers and we’re not sending you a ship' then he’s got to, and we didn’t give them thousands of ventilators, by the way, and millions of masks, because we’ve sent them a lot of stuff. Well, one of the reasons he’s successful is because we’ve helped make him successful," Trump said.
“My plea is, and pardon me if I’m a little emotional, but I’m living with this 24 hours a day and I’m seeing people die all around me. The science people, the government professionals have to stand up and look the president in the eye and say this is not a political exercise,” Cuomo said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” when asked what his plea would be to the president with regards to New York's need for more equipment. “This is not press relations. It's not optics. The tsunami is coming.
Maybe.
You pick your president, we’ll pick ours thank you!
your bar for what is considered news is pretty low
Im a Democrat and agree.
The Donald has started a Cuomo2024 campaign?
Trump's ass is history,no matter who runs
He’s correct. Democrats are going to dump Biden after they throw him under the bus with their dirty tricks. Watch.
Yes Cuomo for Democratic candidate. Leadership in action.
You don’t get to choose who we select as our nominee! Or has no one ever told you that you can’t control that? You are a clown and political ads showing your mishandling of this crisis, will be your Waterloo!!
Governor Cuomo has been doing a good job! Trump is trying to cash in on some of Cuomoo’s popularity in NrwvYork!!
So would Andrew Yang!

The MORON TRUMP? is just SOOOO INTIMIDATED BY JOE BIDEN!!!! TRUMP KNIQS BUDEN CAN MOP THE FLOOR WITH HIM!!!😂🤣😁😆😁😆😂🤣😆
Now they are saying he does have right to answer a question by stating his opinion. Flame thrower Chris Hahn said so & Karl Rove agreed. Two nuts
Right words! Wrong time!
Forget the Politics Trump. You have a dying country. Get your priorities straight.
True.
divide and conquer nice try
He is terrified of Biden...
Stop. You know that the primary's are taking place and you know he cant get in and Biden is winning. You just want people to believe that there is someone stronger than Biden. BS
This is what the impeachment should have been all about get him out of office because he knew this virus was out last year now he's going to for long the voting process
Number 45 orange head really need to be seriously put in a straight jacket he don't own up to the mess he does he point the finger at everyone like he don't do anything he's so much of a drama queen he don't know how to stay off social media he knew all about this virus
Another of Trump's news cycle clickbait. You write about it all you want. Biden2020 BlueWave2020
He win against trump
Duh
Moldy potatoes would be a better candidate than biden...
Governor Cuomo has demonstrated what a true leader is all about...he is presidential material. Not a fancy, bragging man but a real one!
Gotta agree with Trump. Coumo appears intelligent. Biden is hard to watch. Joe is struggling to focus. I'm embarrassed for him. The DNC has no choice but to back this broken pony.
Trump just wants to cause chaos in the party. It's really no deeper than that. He would love to see a Cuomo/Biden/Sanders fight for the nom.
Truth
I like how Cuomo likes to pretend like he is mad. Such a fake.
A lobotomized Biden that didn’t rape or grope would be a better candidate than current Biden.
Well he obviously would. But I think he has a job he can't walk away from.
That is possible, sorry to say.
Remember: he got impeached over Biden, the second coming of Obama, he would take anyone, anybody but Biden
That’s cuz Biden going to kick his ass.
He’s not wrong.
Either one will whip your ass
And that's what you're worried about. Wow
That may be true but Biden is going to trash you. DumpLyingTrump
Of course he says that! Why go all through the trouble of lying about Ukraine if he wants to run against Biden. He knows he will lose PA, OH and MI and without their electoral college votes, he doesn’t have a chance.
Trump is shitting his pants. It's not Cuomo, He's dead scared of Biden.
Gee Even a child could beat him .
Because he still fears Biden
You wouldn't beat either of them.
True!
GovBillWeld must be REP choice for 46 POTUS
The polls say the opposite. He got impeached because he was scared of Biden.
Looks like the planets aligned and I actually agree with Trump. But almost anyone would be a better candidate than Biden and Biden is still better than Trump.
Perhaps we should make that happen, Bozo
Bernie or bust.
Too bad Trump! Joe Biden's going to beat you fair and square in November. We don't need any distractions from you! We have a big enough crisis to deal with, that you failed to deal with. Remember? Coronavirus? See you in November at the ballot box. VOTE DEMOCRAT JOE BIDEN.❤️🇺🇸👍
Even my dog sniff less asses than Biden sniff children
BIDEN is your opponent who will DEFEAT YOU IN NOVEMBER.
Cuomo is already the presumptive Dem Presidential nominee. Wake up .
We don't need any advice from you about who the Democratic nominee is. Just concentrate on matters at hand that you can do something about, like your job and getting out resources that workers need to stay safe.
Trump Will Not Tell Us Democrats Who to Choose!!! Trump Knows if He Run Against Joe Biden He Will Lose Pennsylvania, Michigan And Many Other Places Trump Needs to Win!!! Joe Biden Brings Out Everyone! We Know Joe Biden! A Decent Human!!!
Too bad
Don't care
He’s not wrong.
He is not interested! But Biden is and there will be no pardons!
He’s worried.
Certainly a better president than trump - careful what you wish for🤡🤡🤡🤡
Who gives 3fcks what Cheeto Mango Mussolini says
The country is getting worse with the coronavirus and this clown talking about politics
Gov Cuomo could be VP Bidens VP
uhhh, no shit
Yo, Donny, maybe you should spend your time addressing the Covid-19 emergency instead of offering political advice. Yes, Cuomo’s leadership during this crisis is very impressive — perhaps you could pick up a pointer or two.
And a roadkill would be a better President than Trump.
I actually agree, but he would have to work 10x harder than Bernie and Biden to get voters who didn’t know him before
Janis must be so pissed that they cannot evict from their tenements! jaredkushner IvankaTrump
CUOMO WOULD WIPE TRUMPS ASS ...PLEASE CUOMO RUN AGAINST THIS FRAUD
Right now, John Edwards could beat trump with one arm tied behind his back while hiking The Appalachian Trail.
Not yet. We have what we have. I’m for Biden.
The stupid man says “what?”
And Forrest Gump would have been a better candidate than you.
He’s afraid of Biden and the type of state he can carry. As an aside the difference in providing clarity and staying on message between Cuomo and Trump is stark. The latter is a mess.
Nah, he’s afraid of Joe because he knows Joe is going to kick his a$$.
I have to agree.
Ignore trump's attempts at psychological manipulations. They continually work on his fool voters but should not on smart people with working bullshit detectors. MondayMusings
I would write in Cuomo in a heartbeat.
Who cares about his opinion?
TeamBiden
And a German Shepherd would be a better candidate than trump.
Says a crazy man
I hate to say it, but Trump is right on this.
Hahahahaha HE is REALLY scared of Biden.
The guy failing New York even more?!
Trump will say anything to weaken a Dem opponent. He calls Bernie a communist. He calls Biden sleepy Joe. Now he wants to make him look weak. Politico is enabling Trump in this endeavor. Is it partisan, because have been noticing a number of anti-Biden articles lately?
Somebody should tell Trump that it’s an election, NOT A BOXING MATCH!!
Definitely!!
Anybody is better than You realDonaldTrump
realDonaldTrump is scared of JoeBiden Trump knows he’s history. Orange jumpsuit to match that orange skin.
Why wont the media report on Biden's sexual assault allegation Why is the media providing cover for Biden rather than vetting him Why are you guys failing to do your jobs in yet another election season MediaRapeApologists
Don’t take the bait people! Just Elsa this shit!!!
realDonaldTrump he needs to worry about his party
He’s scared of Biden
He really trying hard out here
He's the only one thinking about politics...says all you need to know about him..
Real question is, at this point, who wouldn’t be a stronger candidate than Biden?
You got enough to wintry about asshole!!!!
Nobody cares.
Nov 3rd.! Counting the days to cast my vote to escort him out of the WH. We will get Joe, a steady hand that listens to experts and the military. No more daily bullshit!
Do you know what he says a lot of crap. He never knows what he's talking about. All he is good at is manipulating people and markets. He's had a whole lifetime of practice. Can't do that with a virus he invited in and all of his manipulated minons were accomplices.
Dump the Turd on November 3rd. Go Joe.
Anybody with a heartbeat would be stronger than Biden
And a better president then Trump, but then I jackasses who would be better then Trump and I mean the animal.
I don’t trust trump. He is a liar. He only cares about himself. UnfitToBePresident
Who gives a shit what he has to say about, well, anything?
Maybe, but he’s a little busy right now. And literally ANY republican would be better than trump, so he has no room to talk.
he's a better president already
Don’t worry his turn will come! No more Trumps ever!
The dying vegetables in my backyard would be a better candidate than Biden. Unlike Biden, they didn’t rape anyone (and they’re smarter and more honest).
In this case - trump then orange boy is of course right
He is just throwing a lot of BULLSHIT out there. He is scared of facing Biden.
The public has enough to make him a one-term president.
King Hoax said what
He is scared of Joe.
LOL
Cuomo would beat drumpf too. But Bernie won’t.
Trump is really terrified of Biden. He knows Biden will run circles around him during a debate. However, so would Governor Cuomo. I know a 12 year old that could beat Trump in a debate. She would also be a better president.
realDonaldTrump isn't the worse POTUS, but he is the most ignorant person alive today. Resist VoteBlueNoMatterWho Election2020
It's all about TV ratings with Donny T.
Foghorn Leghorn would sow discord wherever he can. That is his only strategy
