America 'was never that great' and won't be great until all Americans share true equality, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Wednesday in a speech blasting Republican President Donald Trump and his slogan, 'Make America Great Again.'

Cuomo, who is considered a potential White House contender in 2020, made the remarks at a bill signing event in Manhattan.

He said Trump wants to return to a period of greater sexism, racism and intolerance toward immigrants.

He said New York would strive to be a liberal alternative where people of all backgrounds have the same opportunities.

'We're not going to make America great again - it was never that great,' said Cuomo, who is running for a third term this November.

WNU Editor: If given the opportunity, I would say that half the planet (if not more) would immigrate to the U.S. in a heartbeat. And for those who have moved to the U.S. and who have gone through the legal process of becoming an American citizen .... in my experience everyone I know tell me that becoming an Amercian citizen was one the highlights of their life, and that each and everyone of them see America as a great country. Governor Cuomo has a different point of view, that descrimation/sexism/racism/etc. still dominate, and it is why America is not great. OK .... that may appeal to some progressives. But I sincerely doubt that this is an opinion shared by most Americans.
