If we had, at the start of this crisis, a strong, professional and concerned President like Cuomo, (who is proving himself in a crisis and also providing and good example and strong morale) this would be a whole different ball game now.

The contrast is so strong. Trump, by comparison, is just a weak bully wanna' be dictator narcissist clown, but he is no LEADER and the crisis has turned the volume up on his failures and facade. That's for sure. A true leader, (who cares about his people) is what we see in Cuomo acting in the line of duty.
