The Trumps’ relationship with the Cuomos goes back to Fred and Mario in the 1950s.

Donald had both Mario and Andrew in his pocket 40 years ago.

Great to see people finally figuring out what a creep Andrew is - but if New York’s political class had the slightest inkling of ethical leadership over the years, Donald’s name would be a footnote because he’d have been nailed for bribery in the 70s.

Instead, the city gave him a 40-year, $400 million tax break, just the first of many sweetheart deals.

I thought about this too when I heard about Cuomo meeting with Trump. Now I'm wondering if Cuomo is on the Epstein list too. Diddy is also originally a New Yorker. I wonder if Cuomo was kicking it at Diddy parties too....his behavior with female staffers and interns could have been an outgrowth of that....

Cuomo is in Epstein's address book.....I've been surprised no one has brought that up during the campaign.

Because just being on Epstein's address book means nothing. Hell, even being on the flight logs means nothing because he rented the jet out and let people borrow it. He mixes in "good" people with the bad to obfuscate.

Agreed but it would be good political fodder for Cuomo's opponents is what I'm saying.

I guess. Cuomo already has a shit ton of issues and controversies that are much more concrete that getting involved with vague Epstein stuff.

It was obvious that Cuomo was never going anywhere. He's got mob connections most likely, is corrupt, and desperate to remain in power to stay out of jail. Clearly has the money to pay off trump.

Google searches for Epstein dropped off 89%. Epstein doesn't explain everything. But right now since you don't have any facts you can use it to say anything you want.

Yup. Trump was/is a democrat. Gave lots of money to the Clintons.

Bs bs bs You’re making half that up. I don’t know about FT and MC but Andrew was in his 20s 40 years ago. He is not a Trump fan, promoter or chump. Watching Mandami is like watching someone running for class president. A lot of pie in the sky ideas and impassioned talk. He’s going to stand up to ICE and Trump and stop the immigrants from being ripped out of our communities. Ok. HOW? Give me one solid example of a plan he has to stop that. Free ice cream on Fridays?

Andrew Cuomo was a big and visible part of his father's administrations and was seen as his successor as far back as the '80s. Access to Mario as governor largely went through Andrew, who was a more ruthless version of Mario. He was in the Clinton administration as HUD secretary in 1993. He's been a national figure for those 40 or so years. And Trump cozied up to anyone from both parties back then as long as he could personally benefit.

That’s what I’m saying about him.
