Cuomo Praises Trump's Response to the Wuhan Coronavirus: 'Phenomenal Accomplishment'

New York Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo was asked on Sunday whether or not he has faith in President Trump when it comes to handling the Wuhan coronavirus. Gov. Cuomo made it clear that he not only trusts the president but that what Trump and his administration have done was nothing short of a "phenomenal accomplishment."

"What the federal government did working with states was a phenomenal accomplishment," the governor marveled. "We bent the curve. We flattened the curve. Government did it. People did it, but government facilitates people's actions, right?"

Gov. Cuomo has consistently praised the president for helping New Yorkers while the state quickly emerged as an international hotspot of the Wuhan coronavirus. Only on the issue of ventilators, when Gov. Cuomo anticipated New York would need some 40,000 ventilators, were the president and the governor at odds. Trump expected the actual number of ventilators New York needed to be much lower, and Trump was right. Instead of 40,000 ventilators, New York needed about 5,000. The state now has so many ventilators they have begun sending them to other states.

"We had to double the hospital capacity in New York State," Gov. Cumo recalled on Sunday. "That's what all the experts said. The president brought in the Army Corps of Engineers. They built 2,500 at Javits ... It was a phenomenal accomplishment. Close to a thousand people have gone through Javits. Luckily, we didn't need the 2,500 beds. But all the projections said we did need it and more ... so these were just extraordinary efforts and acts of mobilization, and the federal government stepped up and was a great partner, and I'm the first one to say it. We needed help and they were there."

  4. 8:23 - If you do not think he did a good job then what did you do?????? First we have never had the likes of a virus released in our country like this one. Second the Democrats fought him all the way with every breath of anything he wanted to do to help. I hear a lot of bitching but I did not see a whole lot of suggestions or help for that fact from the congress or senate.

  5. 8:23 No stimulus; no coordination among Governor's; no testing equipment or testing stations; virus rampant; doom and gloom by Democrats; more immigrants; less food banks; no mask due to hording - I'm sure you are not that dumb to figure out what a bad job looks like - now are you?
