A little dated … but extremely relevant. Trump claims that Andrew Cuomo was a better COVID-Governor than DeSantis. There are no facts/data to support this claim. Indeed, the facts/data disprove this claim … Florida had a larger and much, older population than New York and when scale is accounted for did better than New York.
Trump’s message is also incoherent. He expressly attacks DeSantis for lockdowns, at the same time he is indirectly attacking him for not locking down to the extent Cuomo did. However, if he is praising Cuomo on COVID, then one must conclude that he believes lockdowns worked and he would support lockdowns again.
Donald Trump arguing that Andrew Cuomo did a better job on Covid than Ron DeSantis is about as baffling as him praising Charlie Crist. For someone with the lead, these kind of attacks come across as defensive and small. Also here's Trump in 2020 (1/2): pic.twitter.com/WXEDBGN6bo
