Cuomo Responds to Trump’s criticisms

ABC News Podcast

The president tweeted that the New York governor  “should spend more time doing and less time complaining.”

Trump brought the Army Corps of Engineers to build the 2500 additional bed for coronavirus patients in Javits Center. Trump has stated that “none of them have been used” when in reality 800 beds has been used so far. Trump also said that there was no need in making these beds and that it was a request form the state which was not valid. However, Governor Cuomo states well if it wasn’t valid then the federal government would not have helped in making the beds. The reason why they made extra beds is because there was a projection stating that there was going to be a higher amount of people affected by the virus but it was wrong which these projections came from the PRESIDENT himself. So for Trump saying that Cuomo is wrong when the only thing he did was evaluating Trump’s projection shows how Cuomo was foolish to believe in Trump’s projection. Meaning that the White House is unreliable and anyone who follows them are foolish. Trump has stated that he does not want to help on testing 11 times which is something that every state needs help on. He doesn’t want to help because he says that it is too complicated and hard to do which is his job to do as president. Stating that he has done enough to help but Cuomo says that no one has done enough because it is not over. There is still a lot to do in order to stop the virus so Trump can’t just want a thank you from everyone he has helped and think that he is finished and that he has done his part. Cuomo continues on saying what if every governor were to simply say that they are finished and that they did their part then the world would be in chaos. Cuomo criticized the lack of knowledge that Trump has on the constitution because he has said before that he is deciding when to open states and then changes his story saying that it is up to the governors to decide that. The truth to the story is that it was always up to the governors to decide when to open again and not Trump. Another thing that came up is that CDC projection (Trump’s Projection) stated that 2.4 million people would have been affected by the coronavirus. Which was almost 2 times the capacity of hospitals which are 900,000 in the US. Trump saying we are prepared and that they have a stock pile of ventilators which are 10,000 is foolish. If those projections were right and that it was twice the capacity that hospitals hold then nation would be in chaos. Only having 10,000 ventilators for the nation for 2.4 million that were supposed to be infected. Only caring more about businesses and not about funding for testing and finding a way to end the virus.
