Gov. Andrew Cuomo became ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo due to reliable, consistent statements by women that created a clear pattern making it obvious that Cuomo needed to step down and there might be enough there that they made need more investigation. If one simply takes that pattern as the standard for stepping down, Donald Trump should have stepped down from the head of the Trump Organization. Clearly, Trump would have been dropped from “The Apprentice” in the Me, Too” era.
So is there anyone in existence with less legitimacy in commenting on Cuomo’s resignation? Yes, there are, but there is no question that if Trump were held to the same standard, he would not have made it to the first debate. But Republicans don’t hold them to themselves to any standard. So maybe that is why Trump’s comment is so oblique, there is a standard for Democrats but not one for Republicans?

So, it appears to us that Trump thinks that Cuomo is a “b*lly” because he didn’t stand and fight. It sounds like he is saying that Cuomo should not have stepped down? Is Trump saying that when one hears “nothing but” a bunch of women “b*tching” about “this or that” (Trump characterization, obviously) that he should stay and fight? Is Trump saying that he, himself, is not a b*lly? (Because wouldn’t he love that reputation)
What the hell is he talking about!! Who here wants Liz Harrington’s job? It would be a great job! One could demand six figures (that’s the going rate) and one could be just sly and sophisticated enough to do this kind of thing on purpose, even though we’re certain that Trump wrote this one. One would have the opportunity to insult Trump all day every day without him or most of his supporters noticing.
Speaking of “noticing,” some folks on Twitter noticed this was typical Trump:

So true: “BULLIES NEVER FIGHT”. They usually incite others to it for them while they hide in a White House bunker. https://t.co/H4ZiIIpp83
