What Trump Is really Saying To New York/Cuomo: How much is investigating me worth to you?

[kpete]

People are focusing on Trump’s demands for flattery and praise and his savage response to even the mildest criticism.

But that isn’t the most important thing that is going on.

Trump is saying: Force your AG to drop her investigation of me, drop the court fight to see my tax returns, and do as I demand, or I will stand aside and do nothing while your people die. I may even take actions that actively make things worse for you. How much is investigating me worth to you?

2. Yep. New York, California and Washington are getting Ukrained.

3. while i am strongly opposed to governmental abuse of power,

that's a part of me that would love to see donnie's new york properties condemned, purely as a negotiating tactic.

4. Needed are attack ads publicizing trump bullyng CV funds to Oregon instead of Washington State,

based on politicking v Inslee, - and now Cuomo being bullied.

5. His quid pro quo is out there for all to see.

Coumo and all blue state governors should withhold all federal revenues collected by the states in escrow accounts. Trump knows he'll never win in NY and NJ so he doesn't care if we all die.

6. "Nice bunch of New Yorkers you have there, Cuomo....

NO SALE...FU Don Cornholio.

9. Sounds like Cuomo is going around trump to get ventilators....

He knows trump couldn't care less.

10. Nailed it

11. The investigation and charges could go away today

and Trump would still deny New York ventilators, equipment, etc.

12. This so reeks of "not guilty"?
