Newsom knows better than to tell the truth about Trump's responsiveness. It has to be all praise for the Great Leader or else they'll get the Michigan treatment.
From your article: "I've talked to officials around the country who have said that they have to temper their remarks in what they say about the federal government's response for fear that President Trump will punish the citizens of their state if he considers them to be a complainer," Tapper said.
Not that I entirely buy this coming from Jake Tapper, but even if it's true, I don't have a problem with this. Yeah, in a time of crisis, you have to be measured in what you say. They shouldn't be able to get in front of the first camera they see and badmouth the President and then call him up all panicky when supplies run low. Any other time I'm sure these "officials" -- whom I'm certain are almost entirely Democrats -- would love to do the cable news thing where they give a network some gauzy headline quote about Trump. Most of the time they can do that because they probably don't have to deal with him. But when you know you're going to have to get on the phone with him or his people, people straighten up pretty quick.
It makes a lot of the comments against Trump seem a little pat. Trash talk him when you know you're going to have to see him, if you're that tough.
Or simply act like civilized adults instead of petulant, whiny children. Now is not the time for bitter partisan rivalries and scoring cheap political pot shots. Now is the time for unity and working together, if we are to achieve swift and decisive victory over this virus with minimal deaths. That should be the goal for all Americans, no?
Trump also said he wouldn’t help governors unless they praised him and, lo and behold, governors who need help are suddenly praising him. Who could have imagined?
"Sir, the only thing that gets to the Donald is to praise him.. Then he'll listen..."
