As Twitchy reported earlier, President Trump has ordered a review of federal funds going to “anarchist jurisdictions” like New York City, and within an hour of that announcement, Gov. Andrew Cuomo had called an emergency press conference to threaten the president.

He, um, actually has one. https://t.co/oaETtEKcd6

Well, as Commander-In-Chief, he has more than an army.

He does. The NYPD

He’s all set! The police union in your state endorsed him.

Boom ????? Right on!

Also the actual US Army considering he’s CIC

I think they're called the @SecretService

All he has to do is say the word. He'd have 5 armies in a matter of hours if he asks.

Oh he will. Bet on it.

Sounds like a threat to POTUS
— Fonzi (@DrunkJedi1) September 3, 2020
That sounds like a threat.

Why? Who exactly does @NYGovCuomo think it going to fight Trump? The police he wants to defund and has shit all over? Heh.

If he means that the streets are not secure and he may be shot, he is absolutely right.
If he is threatening the President, Toadface keeps on embarrassing himself every day more than the previous one.

I'm so embarassed to be a New Yorker these days. Has Cuomo ever heard of the US Military? They have an army division.
— ᴰᵒᵐⁱⁿᵃ???? (@GaiaNYC) September 3, 2020
He’s the Commander in Chief, so yes he already has an army. And a navy. And an air force.
— Michael Patterson (@Mike_Alonso7) September 3, 2020
And a Space Force!

Right now everyone needs body guards in nyc. Thanks @NYGovCuomo and @NYCMayor. You’ve ruined the best city in the world.

It's not even out of context, he just thought hard about it and went with: "He better have an army if he thinks he’s gonna walk down the street in New York."
Anyway, he's got too high a count to go back to normal, he'll always have The Hunger now. Full psychopath, media darling. https://t.co/h02qDp2d27

Everyone needs an army to protect them if they go to NYC. Take a bow, de Blasio and Cuomo. A city in ruination.
— Scott Cooper (@coop_pucks) September 3, 2020
Pretty soon no one will be in NY to worry about.
— Philly Boy (@PhillyBill) September 3, 2020
The Cuomo's are both spontaneously combusting.

2 for 1 and I’ll never ask for anything again.
