(CNN) Just after 8 a.m. Tuesday, President Donald Trump sent a Twitter rocket at Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

"Cuomo wants 'all states to be treated the same,'" tweeted Trump . "But all states aren't the same. Some are being hit hard by the Chinese Virus, some are being hit practically not at all. New York is a very big 'hotspot', West Virginia has, thus far, zero cases. Andrew, keep politics out of it."

Less than four hours later, Trump, at a coronavirus task force press briefing, said this about the New York governor:

"There's great, tremendous spirit. And I can say that for Republicans and Democrats. I could say that with respect to Gov. Cuomo. We had a great talk this morning. We're both doing a really good job and we're coordinating it and we agree: different states need different things....

....My conversation with Andrew Cuomo was a very productive one and a very good one and I appreciate that."
