The president’s authority to force states to do what he wants is proving to be anything but total—and he has so far not followed through on his frequent threats to bring the weight of the federal government down on governors

The president has often made threats to local governments—including on school funding and coronavirus restrictions—that are beyond his power to carry out

The leader of the Crime Organization realDonaldTrump is washed up-done-retired-he will be on Vacation in January 2021-

The way you know you’re in a banana republic:Petty Dictator says he has total control and then sends in the military when numbers don’t agree with him. A week from now they’ll be great. Welcome to the NEW 3rd world country COMRADES. Love those COMMUNIST red hats! PutinsGOP

All democratic states where hundreds are dying of the virus and homes and businesses are being destroyed by rioters! And kids are being bucherd in the streets! These are the people who are defying Trump

sounding like a dictatorship

sounding like a dictatorship

So you want him to be a dictator now.... or not? I’m confused

This guy...

I'm not an American , but does this guy know what the president can and can't do ?. Seems all fur coat and no knickers to me !!!

The president is a lying buffoon.

Blabber comes in all shapes and sizes.

“Donald’s ego has been and is a fragile and inadequate barrier between him and the real world, which, thanks to his father’s money and power, he never had to negotiate by himself”.

Suggest we accept the fact that the situation is quite delicate. As soon as he authorizes intervention, lawsuits will fly faster than hummingbird wings. Until they request aid, we get to watch “elected leaders” support anarchy & hatred.

Look at him does this punk look like he ever had a fight in his fat face life

I still remember him saying he was gonna sue all the women that claimed sexual assault before the election... what happened?

this because potus is the weakest president in history. potus

Not true. He isn't giving money to Minnesota. He followed through on the wall. He should go after Cuomo for the deaths caused by his decisions that killed 6300 older Americans.

he does not even remember what he said few minutes back, other than just retweeting. If there was no retweet function avaialble he would even not be able to retweet also, and change his statements

He’s just a bully. And it’s gotten him what he’s wanted in his past. Not this time.

If he did use Federal powers the MSM would call him a tyrant and accuse him of overstepping his limits. He can’t win with you nor other “journalists” 🙄

trump has been dismantling govt oversight and checks and balances. He is the epitome of big govt. You are crazy if you think a re-elected trump won’t take power from states while the GOP smiles along.

He knows he cannot do this. However he likes to hear his own voice and his trumpers love the theatrics. He is a dim wit that cannot walk or hold a glass of water without help. The only thing he can bring down is his full depends when he goes to potty. TrumpMustGo

He does not have to. The democrat controlled cities and states are destroying themselves.

Remember this ... Government is ‘of the people, by the people & by the people’. Survival instincts of people are bigger than their political affiliations. The POTUS can’t sell ‘death’ as a normal. Untimely death is unfortunate. Work towards solutions. uspoli

When will WSJ be outed like the NYT

Trump- The “Huff and Puff...” Fake President GOPLeader VP realDonaldTrump

Not to be outdone by Moderna, Drug companies cashing in on any glimmer of hope. Even if we had a vaccine today. If we vaccinated 5 mil a day how long to do the world? Virus damage is now and will be felt for years, Greed Greed & Conman Trump.

.He is doing what people voted him to do.....blameMe

He has been consistent with upholding the Constitution by allowing State’s to govern.

Ever heard of states rights?

He rarely follows through on anything!🤦🏾‍♂️

Because he can’t

Because he has no power in that regard. Good.

I do believe the Constitution forbids him from forcing states to do what he wants ... We are a representative Republic ... A Constitutional Republic. Civics should be taught in schools so you'd know this.

He should be supporting State efforts- not attacking them.

I support Trump but this is a true statement and it is disheartening.

Let the racist left burn their cities and beg for help within the ruins. The rest of the country can sit back and see the future under the Dems, a wasteland run by thugs and murderers Trump2020

Very true. He says whatever pops into his mind in the moment. He doesn't read briefings & has no idea what the laws are regarding who has the power to do what with his own job! He has no idea what's done at a state level vs federal

Trump's head is as empty as his threats.

Reminds me of obama with organizations that were beheading US citizens, how soon we forget

This is why his base is starting to resent him.

Are you saying he lied about something? 😮

martial law would cure all of that.

The Trump Administration Is Rescinding Its Plan To Force International Students Out Of The U.S.“The order came down without notice — its cruelty surpassed only by its recklessness,” wrote Harvard President Larry Bacow in a statement obtained by CNN. “It appears that it was designed purposefully to place pressure on colleges and universities to open their on-campus classrooms for in-person instruction this Fall, without regard to concerns for the health and safety of students, instructors, and others.”
