"Donald Trump is smart. He picks the fights that he knows he can win. You fight with me, you fight with New York, that's going to be ugly. He'll probably win because he's the president, but he's going to know that he was in a fight."
"The weaponization of the justice system is just out of control. We don't put people in jail because of politics. Putin does that. That's now almost a weekly occurrence, and people don't even raise an eyebrow anymore."
"Sending in the National Guard is political theater, which the president likes to do. It's his way of saying the Democrats can't manage anything. When I was governor, he sent the National Guard to 20 cities. You know what city he didn't send the National Guard to? New York, because he couldn't say New York was out of control."
Andrew Cuomo criticized President Donald Trump's use of federal power and warned that the justice system is being weaponized for political purposes. He said political prosecutions and jailings resemble tactics used by authoritarian leaders and occur regularly without public outcry. Cuomo vowed he could push back effectively against Trump, warning that confronting New York would be a difficult fight for the president. Cuomo dismissed National Guard deployments as political theater and noted Trump sent guards to 20 cities but not New York. Cuomo also addressed rival Zohran Mamdani, acknowledging affordability concerns among young voters while criticizing Mamdani's campaign tactics.
