Wednesday, New York Governor Cuomo attempted to mock Trump’s “Make America Great Again” campaign slogan.

Cuomo led by saying, “We’re not going to make America great again. It was never that great.”



From there, he went into full mansplain mode saying, “we will reach greatness when discrimination and stereotyping against women, 51% of our population is gone and every woman’s full potential is realized and unleashed, and every woman is making her full contribution.”

Now, Cuomo has changed his mind, saying he was “inartful” and that “of course America is great and of course America has always been great.”

Uh huh. Suuuuuure.

And I’m sure it had nothing to do with the fact that Trump spend a handful of tweets mocking Cuomo:

Wow! Big pushback on Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York for his really dumb statement about America’s lack of greatness. I have already MADE America Great Again, just look at the markets, jobs, military- setting records, and we will do even better. Andrew “choked” badly, mistake! — Donald J.

When a politician admits that “We’re not going to make America great again,” there doesn’t seem to be much reason to ever vote for him. This could be a career threatening statement by Andrew Cuomo, with many wanting him to resign-he will get higher ratings than his brother Chris! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 17, 2018

Which is worse, Hightax Andrew Cuomo's statement, “WE’RE NOT GOING TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, IT WAS NEVER THAT GREAT” or Hillary Clinton’s “DEPLORABLES” statement… — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 17, 2018

The video:

And full quote:

“We’re not going to make America great again. It was never that great. We have not reached greatness. We will reach greatness when every American is fully engaged. We will reach greatness when discrimination and stereotyping against women, 51% of our population is gone and every woman’s full potential is realized and unleashed, and every woman is making her full contribution. When that happens this nation is going to be taken even higher.”

Good try, Cuomo, but no one’s buying it.
