Trump Says ‘We’ve Gotten Along Very Well’ With Cuomo, Swipes at Some Govs: Acting Like ‘Political Animals’

President Donald Trump talked with Sean Hannity tonight about the federal coronavirus response, talking up his relationship with Andrew Cuomo while criticizing a few governors he didn’t name for acting more like “political animals.”

Hannity, who’s been very critical of Cuomo in the past few weeks, told the president, “You’ve done a lot for New York, I’m scrolling it on the screen. Usually, you’re a little more political than that, I was a little surprised.”

“I’m a diplomat too,” Trump said. “Since I’ve become president, I have to view things a little bit differently. Look, Andrew, I’ve known him a long time. He has a hard time getting the words out, ‘Thank you, you did a great job,’ but he’s been pretty good over the last week or so.”

He also said New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy has been “very generous,” saying some governors have done a good job and others have done a “poor job.”

“Rather than naming them tonight, I won’t bother.”

“We’ve gotten along very well with de Blasio, I think we’ve gotten along very well with Andrew,” Trump continued.

He said most governors are doing fine, but for a couple, “it wouldn’t matter what you did, you could give ’em ten times more than they asked, if the newspapers called and wanted a quote, they’d give you a bad quote, because that’s the way they are. They’re political animals,” he added.

He ended up by reiterating he’s gotten along “very well with Andrew Cuomo.”
