President Trump addresses reporters in the White House Rose Garden during the daily coronavirus task force briefing on April 14.President Trump addresses reporters in the White House Rose Garden during the daily coronavirus task force briefing on April 14.
After receiving bipartisan blowback from his remarks, Trump on Tuesday attempted to backpedal his stance, saying that he would be coordinating with state governors to"authorize" the restart of their respective states' economies. "I will be speaking to all 50 governors very shortly," Trump said."And I will then be authorizing each individual governor of each individual state to implement a reopening, very powerful reopening plan of their estate in a time in a manner which is most appropriate."
But governors don't need Trump to authorize their moves to deal with the coronavirus, whether it's keeping schools and businesses largely closed — or saying it's safe to re-open them. "It's so plain and obvious it's not even debatable," Kathleen Bergin, a professor at Cornell Law School,
There is a method to it all - now having gotten their backs up... they are making plans to get back to business. Amazing how that works
First you should say that you say he should close the nation, then you say he has no authority to open the nation. Pick one
Tyrant trump
I think his handlers explained the tenth amendment to him in small, easy to understand terms. And told him it'd harm his reelection. Because that's his sole motivation (himself).
The only King he'll ever be is The King of Wishful Thinking
Toke a bit longer i thought this time .
he's insane. totally unhinged. where are the adults?
Don't care what he says, only what he does, NPR. Reporting on a serial liar's statements is not reporting, only lazy.
dumb donnie shot off his mouth & backed down from a fight w/ACuomo!!!!!
Another deceptively manipulated narrative by npr-dnc &frankly I'm FED UP w it What POTUS actually said was that under National Emergency Powers enumerated over 100 congressional laws, POTUS hs ascendancy over State govrs npr-dnc's 'experts' are as legit as National PUBLIC radio
Another thing showing he never read the Constitution. Thinking that he got scattered free with the Impeachment he can do everything he wants. This is not Russia or China.
😂😂😂
Backpedaling? ChosenBoy's moonwalking baby! 😋
In other words he keeps doing doing what he does everyday, lies.
Left; hates states rights if it goes against their globalist policies; Left; love states rights if it supports the hell no to anything nor alt left!
The only place that 'narrative statement' exist is in Trump's deranged inept mental capacity of 'day-dreaming' on the job. His innate ability to lead has surfaced. The Trump businesses must be CORRUPT as HELL; by observing his current & past months attitude towards the Laws.
I hereby have total authority to let them do what ever they want. I'm the bestest!
NPR has TDS...
squidgopro Look at This guy...wanting to be a dictator.
Hahahaha tds is real
He must have paid off high school classmates to do his US Government homework.
More like “total ignorance”. He denied his authority over States when it mattered most in order to avoid disrupting the economy. However, Had he acted sooner, the economy, and more importantly - the people - would have both been better off now.
I call it a Trumpy sidestep. Donny still maintains he has the Power, Donny has just delegated it. Top of the line con men NEVER, walk back, or admit mistakes, or lies, never.
Why do I get the feeling that trump thinks that Dr Seuss wrote the Constitution...?
I can't begin to count how many times Trump has officiated at the wedding of ignorance and arrogance.
fascist playbook
NatalieNicole wish he’d backpedal all the way out of office
That guy is dumb.
The Task Force has said that localities and states have control throughout the National Emergency. Trump definitely has the power to protect the nation from one rogue state that decides to open ports. The media continues to print non-stories about out of context Trump quotes.
realDonaldTrump = LiarInChief
'I hereby authorize the sun to rise in the East! I will decide where it will set at a later time.'
Somebody needs to slip him some edibles
What a clown! This is what happens when he listens to his 'intuition.'
What’s funny is I guarantee that at least 95% of the people making fun of trump for this blatantly false statement also were calling for him to order a nationwide lockdown to stop the spread.
May be time to defund National dePlorable Radio as done for WHO.
He is a moron.
Didn't you guys (🇺🇸) go to war with us (🇬🇧) and waste a lot of perfectly good tea (☕️) because you didn't want a king (👑)?
Trump: I have full authority Governors: No you don't, we'll do as we see fit Trump: I'll allow it Governors: OMG go away
'Let's let the country fester in economic failure so we can own Trump.' Seriously, does Trump hatred supercede US success?
ImpeachHimAgain
Shocking! Trump 🤥!!!
Does his bike go the other direction? Doesn't feel like....
He honestly has no idea how our government works. 🤦🏼♀️
The 1st amendment protects freedom of assembly. All realDonaldTrump has to do is force the states to respect it and the lockdown is over!
I guess we need to be eased into authoritarianism.
I’m exhausted!
POTUS does not have the ‘total’ authority as he has so declared. We need a President who has respect for the law, or at least someone who has read the constitution.
I wish he would just stop talking. Or only read a script co-written with several others.
Typical trump.
