NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo called for unity in his Monday press briefing after President Donald Trump went after him earlier in the morning in a phone interview on "Fox & Friends."

Weighing in on Cuomo's boosted approval rating 87%, according to a new Siena poll Trump said, "one of the reasons he's successful is because we've helped make him successful."

On Sunday, Trump also accused New York hospitals of hoarding ventilators and other medical equipment.

"I'm not going to engage in politics, not because I'm unwilling to tangle, but because I think it's inappropriate, and I think it's counter-productive, and I think it's anti-American," Cuomo said when asked about Trump's comments.

"Forget the politics," Cuomo said. "We have a national crisis. We are at war. There is no politics. There is red, white, and blue."

Trump and Cuomo have clashed over the federal government's inability to get the New York up to 30,000 ventilators and more broadly over the severity of the pandemic with Trump more impatient to end social distancing and "re-open the economy."
