President Trump adjusted his strategy against the
coronavirus on Monday,
tweeting his desire for Americans to endanger themselves and others by going back to work far ahead of what has been recommended by public health officials. But on Tuesday the president made clear that there’s one thing he isn’t changing about his approach to the outbreak: blaming his administration’s incompetence on others, particularly New York Governor
Andrew Cuomo.
During a Fox News town hall event in the White House Rose Garden, Trump ramped up his attacks on the governor, who has been a vocal critic of the federal government’s sluggish response to the outbreak. In doing so, Trump said the quiet part out loud about how he views his relationship with states. “It’s a two-way street,” he said. “They have to treat us well, also. They can’t say, oh, gee, we should get this, we should get that.”
