Trump insults Gov. Cuomo's brother ahead of White House meeting: 'Don't bring Fredo'

Source: Fox News!

President Trump tweeted out earlier Thursday that he was getting ready to meet with New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, but also took a whack at Cuomo’s brother, who works at CNN.

“I’m seeing Governor Cuomo today at The White House,” Trump tweeted. “He must understand that National Security far exceeds politics. New York must stop all of its unnecessary lawsuits & harassment, start cleaning itself up, and lowering taxes.”

Trump added: “Build relationships, but don’t bring Fredo!."




The “Fredo” reference is a nod to “The Godfather” films and Trump is comparing Chris Cuomo – a CNN anchor and the governor’s brother – to a character in the film who ultimately betrays his brother. The reference was first made by a Trump supporter last summer in a viral video that saw the television journalist get irate with the man for the insult.

My experience has shown me that someone only “speaks” like that when they are
a) wrong
b) protected
c) colossally insecure / psychotic
