Cuomo blasts Trump remarks on big-city crime, claims president would need ‘army’ to safely walk NYC streets
It didn’t take long for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to respond to earlier remarks from President Trump, who threatened to pull federal funding from New York City – as well as Washington, D.C.; Seattle and Portland, Ore. -- as part of an effort to target “anarchist jurisdictions.”

“He can’t have enough bodyguards to walk through New York City,” Cuomo said. “Forget bodyguards, he'd better have an army if he thinks he’s going to walk down the streets in New York.
“He is persona non grata in New York City, and I think he knows that, and he'll never come back to New York, because New Yorkers will never forget how gratuitously mean he has been,” Cuomo added.
Cuomo later clarified he was not threatening the president but rather expressing how disliked he believes Trump is by New Yorkers, according to Politico.

“My administration will not allow federal tax dollars to fund cities that allow themselves to deteriorate into lawless zones,” Trump wrote in a memo Tuesday. CLICK HERE FOR MORE.
