Trump Rails Against Andrew Cuomo: 'I Have Already MADE America Great Again'

Source: Mediate



by Ken Meyer | Aug 17th, 2018, 10:38 am

Once again, Donald Trump is hammering away at Andrew Cuomo.

The New York governor has been getting a lot of grief lately for saying America “was never that great” in a questionable attempt to flip the script on the president’s “Make America Great Again” slogan. Trump has been ripping Cuomo for this over the last few days, and after he finished complaining about his military parade getting cancelled for being too expensive, he found time to get in some more shots at the governor.








So yeah, don’t expect them to kiss and make up any time soon.

He is not smart, and can't keep his big blabber mouth (or blabber twitter fingers) shut! He is contributing to his own demise.

Cuomo should just find a juvenile nickname for the president, tweet something more outrageous, and move on. That seems to work these days.

"I have made america great again" he's only saying that because he honestly believes this because he was "elected" not because he actually did anything.

and the mouthbreathers, they believe his line of horseshit with no facts to support it. because "fake news!"

agree with him or not, it was politically STUPID to say it. he stepped right into Trump's game and now we're getting burned. Trump is going to try to paint every Democratic candidate with this mess. in some races, it will have an effect.

people, just stay the fuck away from MAGA variants. best case, your take is humorous and doesn't summon demons. any reference to MAGA is likely to be an instant advantage-Trump move, so leave it to professional comedians on late-night shows. for Democratic campaigns, it's worse than useless.

there is absolutely no benefit in trying to play off the Trumpy MAGA slogan. none. ultimately doing so benefits Trump and the Republicans.

we like to think we're being clever when we're actually reinforcing their message and spotting them free hits.

speech begins with "We are not going to make America great again. It was never that great."
numerous sources, e.g. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/new-york-governor-andrew-cuomo-says-america-was-never-that-great/

do you want to get into details of why i think that was a stupid thing to say, or is it obvious?

Expect the mob to go full guns against cuomo. A pardon in ny would keep him free forever and ever.

Trumps campaign was that America sucks and he’s the only one that can fix it. During that time, the economy has stalled, America has become less safe, enemies have been emboldened, and friends have been dismissed. America is in a dismal state since Trump took over.
