    Default Trump’s reckless quarantine remarks ‘panicked’ people into leaving New York City

    Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) revealed on Sunday that “panicked” New Yorkers told him that they are planning to leave the state after President Donald Trump threatened to “quarantine” surrounding areas.

    Cuomo made the remarks a day after Trump said that he was considering a quarantine before backing off the threat.

    “You want to do it in a way that doesn’t create more fear,” Cuomo explained. “You’re fighting the virus and you’re fighting the fear. I can’t tell you how many people called all night long about the mandatory quarantine comment that the president made as he was getting into a helicopter.”

    “People are so on edge, I mean it really panicked people,” he continued. “They were going to leave the city last night. Really. You need to manage that fear and the panic. And you also need to deal with the virus.”

    Trump can't quarantine a state. He lacks the authority.

    tRump thinks he is KING, and the trumpanzee idiots here on JPP think that he is God. As such, there is no borders on what stupidity tRump will spew.
    Please leave your Trump 2024 signs in your yard. That way, my dog will know where to take a dump.

    The comments by the prez have not helped at all.

    Good way to cause a mass export of the virus from NYC.

    Trump is a delusional drug addict. What he thinks and what he can do are two very different things.
