President Trump played a clip of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo praising his administration during a briefing from the White House coronavirus task force on Sunday.

In the 2-minute clip from Cuomo’s own briefing on the virus earlier Sunday, the governor said that the federal government had “stepped up and was a great partner” to the Empire state.

“These were just extraordinary efforts and acts of mobilization,” Cuomo said, referring to the Navy-built hospital at the Javits Center and the USNS Comfort.

After the footage played, Trump said the clip had left out “the good part” — apparently more compliments from Cuomo.

“I just think it’s so good because it’s bipartisan,” the president said.

He then played another clip of Cuomo saying that none of the victims of the virus in New York have died due to a shortage of hospital space or ventilators.

“I think it’s a tribute to New York, I think it’s a tribute to the federal government,” Trump said.

There was no mention in the clip of Cuomo calling on the federal government to come through with a cash infusion to help the state post-coronavirus.

“If you don’t help the state government and local government, then how are we supposed to have the finances to re-open?” asked the governor earlier on Sunday.

“If you starve state and local government, all that means is we have to turn around and reduce funding to the people who we are funding.”

Asked by a CNN reporter why he was taking time during the briefings to discuss praise he had received, Trump said he was “standing up for the men and women who have done such an incredible job,” not for himself.

“It’s not about me. Nothing is about me,” he said. “You are never going to treat me fairly, many of you, and I understand that.”
