Tensions over the federal government’s response to the coronavirus spilled onto social media Monday as President Trump and Gov. Andrew Cuomo exchanged a series of searing tweets over New York’s request for assistance.

“Just had a very good tele-conference with Nation’s Governors. Went very well. Cuomo of New York has to ‘do more’, ” Trump tweeted.

Cuomo quickly fired back: “Happy to do your job, too. Just give me control of the Army Corps of Engineers and I’ll take it from there.”

The exchange erupted shortly after Trump told the nation’s governors on a conference call that they would be left to take their own measures to secure desperately needed medical equipment to treat coronavirus patients.

“Respirators, ventilators, all of the equipment — try getting it yourselves,” Trump said on the call, of which the New York Times obtained a tape. “We will be backing you, but try getting it yourselves. Point of sales, much better, much more direct if you can get it yourself.”

The governors on the call responded with disbelief at Trump’s statements.

“If one state doesn’t get the resources and materials they need, the entire nation continues to be at risk,” said New Mexico Gov. Lujan Grisham.

Cuomo reiterated his call for federal intervention — asking the feds to “step up to the plate” — in the battle against the coronavirus and to send the Army Corps of Engineers to retrofit state buildings in an effort to increase the number of hospital beds.

The number of US COVID-19 cases passed 3,600 on Monday, with 61 deaths. New York has one of the country’s largest outbreaks, with at least 950 confirmed cases.
