Trump says places of worship are 'essential' and must immediately open. He says he'll override governors if they resist.

WHO reiterates that hydroxychloroquine should be reserved for randomized trials under clinical supervisionThe World Health Organization on Friday reiterated its stance on the drug hydroxychloroquine as it pertains to Covid-19: “Reserve it for randomized trials where it is approved for emergency use in clinical settings under close clinical supervision because of its potential side effects.”

“At the present time, there is no evidence from randomized controlled trials for the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine or in the treatment or prophylaxis against Covid-19," Dr. Mike Ryan, executive director of WHO’s health emergencies program, said during a media briefing in Geneva. Ryan said the drug is currently part of several trials, including WHO’s Solidarity Trial, “in order to prospectively see what value the drug has.”

But Ryan warned that several agencies around the world “have issued warnings indicating that the use of the drug should be reserved, even when it is used outside clinical trials for use in clinical settings under close clinical supervision because of the likely side effects, particularly patients with severe Covid-19 where people have noticed the emergence of cardiac complications including cardiac arrhythmias.

Earlier on Friday, a large observational study published in the medical journal The Lancet, said that seriously ill Covid-19 patients who were treated with hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine were more likely to die or develop dangerous heart arrhythmias.

TRUMP ALLOWED CHINA TO BRING US THIS VIRUS, HE ALLOWED RUSSIA TO KILL OUR TROOPS, HE'S BAD FOR AMERICA

If you open worship places, then you have open restaurants and pubs and gyms as well, all people go to worship places for socialising.

DONT LISTEN TO A VILLAGE IDIOT IF YOU VALUE HUMAN LIFE , DONT SEND YOUR FAMILY TO IMINET DEATH

Hogwash

MEANWHILE

And Trump accuses Biden of not being mentally sharp enough!

Life is essential.tell it to all the congregations that lost pastors and othe members.

Never see him going to church regularly..

It’s not the “places” of worship that matter, but the “worship” itself. If COVID19 measures are taken e.g. 30% capacity, masks etc. Then great. But not throwing caution to the wind saying “God will save the righteous!”

I'm not sure if the Orange Man has ever darkened the door of a church. It's all about appeasing his evangelical fan base.

Thing is its not up to Trump, the Governor, or the Church its up to the people. If your faith in God is strong enough and you feel fine praying from home then who are they to tell you what to do. You have your reasons to go or not and God knows them.

Good move... It takes one who knows and fear the one who made heaven and Earth... can take steps like this.

?

How exactly is he gonna do that?!

try it

That’s because he knows that blacks are more likely to believe in that bs so carry on.

Now he’s religious and all that entails, it’s doesn’t include lying, taking revenge, grabbing them by th P while married, sleeping with other women while married etc.

Oh, now he churchy!!!

Walz isn’t impacting a person’s belief by limiting church building access. Unless a person’s belief is physically tied to a building, and find it impossible to pray at home.

That it a good talk

Nope.

Voglio tornare a casa 🇺🇸per favore !!!” Dio benedica l’America !!!! Love you America ❤️❤️❤️

Pretty sure you can pray at home...🤔

Under what authority?

American will override you in November.

It’s part of our Constitutional rights. Maybe CNN doesn’t recognize rights?

That would be Americans headache religion house open or not Jesus will reign

Not what he says but. It’s what the Lord says to each pastor!

Praise The Lord ! And so grateful for the leader of this nation . whyimvotingfortrumpagain

Thank you President Trump. ChurchIsEssential

Do it Donald and own the results.

realDonaldTrump can't 'override' BUPKISS. What he's doing is encouraging folks to disregard their Governors' orders/restrictions put in place for everyone's safety.

I am not going and definitely not praying for him

Seriously- like I believe he has a religious bone in his body - just pandering to his base

Trump is a dikTator

Worship at home is good, but is not enough, it is essential to those who believe in Him.

Wow

He has the sole right, CNN just can't let Him be and will still blame He if and when things get wrong, Allow Him but blame Him if things get wrong;.....Stop attacking Him .

Trump and the GOP are doing all they can to cull the population. It will be mostly seniors that go to churches, and they are the high-at-risk group.

He can't. He doesn't have the authority to do that. It's Totally up to the Governors of each State !!!

I thought you can pray to GOD anywhere why a church where you have to give money to thieves Churches are so rich look at the Church of England and the Vatican all very rich through lies

Blah. Blah. Blah. Moving on

also he can't do that, but still lmao

Essential lunacy! The dumbest country on earth!

I really think Trump wants more death...Hes evil..

evolutioninaction

Like Trump even knows what the inside of a church looks like!

He can’t override church Pastors that are smart and anointed!!! TEAMVIRTUALCHURCH

Absolutely true. God is supreme healer. It is only God that have the solutions to end this artificial pandemic. So as a believer of God, President D Trump is right in his decision.

So much for States Rights....

He may discover that it’s the governors call.

Leave people alone and let them go to church. What the hell is going on in this country.

Trump is Satanic....He is Being revealed by Allah...to make people go to a place of worship, to chance spreading a deadly disease...Who or What does that? Satan wants to destroy God's people!!!

I love seeing all the Trump haters. Keep up the good work. Trump until 2024.

TRUMP IS SATANIC TrumpistheDevil...

What place of worship you talk about your Synagogue of Satan a Christian who make another person sick is a Devil like realDonaldTrump

Worship of Coronavirus? Its wellknown that praying does NOT work against that Virus Don‘t be stupid and listen to this Trump!

🤣🤣🤣🤣

oh that's cool

Prophet Trump is hearing from God

At the beginning of this Trump said it’s all up to the Governors. The federal government is a just a back up. Well back the hell up then

I agree.

He does not run our states.

👍

Well he doesn't really like Christians after all. Sending them to pandemic hell.

Trump's a bigger religious zealot than Saudi Arabia

Religious right pulling the strings again.

Sorry, Mr. Orange Nazi, this is a free nation meaning you don't rule over it with an orange fist!

Please can someone read Mathew 18:20 to him.

Once again this potus is playing politics with churches aft he forgot them in his reopening plan, he is as uncomfortable in a churches as Satan would be in Heaven.

I pray the President is not serious about this development The death rate in America is too alarming

Is worship matter for the fed govt? Its a local matter in my country oo..not even at State level

I love this president The best of our generation

When does he and his family attend church?

Religion is essential. Places of worship are not.

Overriding is a special quality of some human being

Facebook = Pacebook

Every day Trump proves he's an idiot!😩 🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘

Great president!

This man is ridiculous! Trump is proofing the world every single day he is the worst president you can imagine for this crisis.

You go, Trump!!!

Don’t cough on anyone while you are there. He needs your votes suckers

Church has never been closed. The building is closed!

not now,not good🥺

And FREEDOM and Cuomo Nursing homes

Pastor Who Claimed To Cure Coronavirus With Faith Dies Of Coronavirus

Shut up CNN

The church is not a building. The church is not a steeple. The church is not a resting place. The church is a people. Churches have been 'open' all along.

Mere hyperbole.

95% of the people on here complaining about this haven’t stepped inside a church in years, save for the occasional wedding or funeral.

It is an essential places,only Christians will understand .

Evangelical going broke that’s why smart people said separation of Church and state is essential that’s why they left Europe

Hi, CNN! Remember this from when you were a kid?

Hoooraaahhhh

🤦🏽‍♀️

Prayers can be done at home, in your car or simply sitting outside your home. God hears you from anywhere. God would never want you to put yourself in danger. Faith is within, not in a place full of people. It's your defiance that blinds your ability to see Faith.

Can the state close down businesses? People should just know the risk of going to places and be careful.

Great move!!

You do not have the power to do so. Separation of Church and State. In the Constitution, Don the Con Trump is again wrong. Try reading it.

That's crazy.

So the news on the South Korea church mass infection n many others that follows are not in his radar for the safety of his countrymen?

Our church is about 75 percent Seniors. But we are not attending. It isn’t safe. juststayhome watch Mass on the interwebs instead.

CNN fake news

Maybe there is something in two corinthians that spoke to his heart. SMH. realDonaldTrump

I love this idea. While in attendance they should also refuse to wear masks, shake hands, share the communion cup and embrace as much as possible.

When was the last time you heard Trump say anything about religion. He is full of it. He could care less if u or I go to worship. He's concerned about the election. Losing votes that actually aren't coming his way in the first place. A loser.

If it’s “essential” today, why it wasn’t “essential” from the beginning?

A welcome move for those people who were feeling suphocated on Friday’s.. Good to know that god lives only in place of worship and not in your home. God almighty sent this Special request to realDonaldTrump requesting to open place of worship..

The epidemic is not over, best not to open

Lol Trump is the poster boy for the seven deadly sins

🙌🏻

drtrump knows best! Give them 16oz of Lysol before they enter.

Yup & he needs 2be one of THEE first ones on the Alter for prayer! he’s absolutely NUTS! He does not care about nobody not even his own self..yeah open the churches up w/no plan in place like ur doing all around the US..b/c the dead is jus 1% or 2% right🤡

Look towards Tanzania's current mess

How much more evidence of insanity do we need from this man!!

George Carlin would disagree.

Is that why Trump's gulf course is open?

Trump is gathering his sheep.

Their body, their choice. If you don't want to go to church don't go. If you are all scared stay home. Over 98% survival rate for vivid.

Considering our constitution overrides orders from governors trump is simply doing his job.

No can do

Everybody so busy judging Trump, they miss the point of the story. He didn’t boast of anything. He reiterated to seekers of all religions, their constitutional right to excercise their faith, whatever that might be. That’s a good thing!

Can’t do

Dems really need to learn his game. He has no intention of taking any state to court. & neither he nor his followers care if he's acting w/in his Constitutional boundaries. He just baited libs into saying nasty stuff about him and religion. All to feed his cult of victimhood.

There is nothing essential about a place of worship. You can do this in your home.

Lemo. I can't get drunk enuff to hear the village idiot spit lies. Man secondary education has been promoted via scholarships and achievements for 50 yrs! Who does the dump appeal to? How can ppl be that stupid? ' I don't got no way to vote!' Bunch of white guys w no ed. 🤣wrap

He knows what his doing

Trump didn't shut down states in the first place governors did. Now he is going to try to force more people to their graves to try to improve his re-election attempt thru religion? He is shameless. People going to houses of worship are dropping like flies.

Over ride .....no

Fake News! I know, I know, but those should be.

Ahhh that 10th amendment... We shall use it or not only when it fits our argument. Along with that pesky freedom of religion, assembly, and choice. Both sides of this argument are full of hypocrites beat each other to death, I'll eat my popcorn.

He is such an ASS🤡.He has NO clue an the rest of the Republicans say nothing.

Is there an over to ride? I don’t think he can do that!

That's how it should be

Never seen anything like this. Government undermining its self. Sad.

He has already stated that article II gives him unprecedented powers, so he thinks he can it will be funny when he fails yet again this is just to continue to feed the religious base he has conned into believing he is the chosen one

Trying to get them votes.

america is a FEDERAL country not unitary

TrumpDeathToll95K TrumpDeathToll95K TrumpDeathToll95K TrumpDeathToll95K

The lord is coming soon, we hav to worship him

I seriously love that

I’m not a Trump fan, but he’s right, and when he’s right I will defend him. Massage parlors run by Chinesse women are not essential. Here in Oklahoma law enforcement caught a 16 year old during a raid. Kudos

Cool. Natural selection at work.

He can’t

Let's make up our own rules as we go..

Keep exposing your base to the virus, Trump

Good👍

All the bible thumpers can go to church. Trump doesn't care. He only wants your right wing vote. Us atheists will stay home.

Cults...I mean organized religion & churches are about money... It's a business...PERIOD! Some folks spend a shit load of money to get a degree in Theology. Then, there are those, hysterical, online course people take to become 'ordained'. RME.

This dope really does think he is a king 👑🙄

The dictator is rearing his ugly face. So much for the home of the free !!!!

So what? He has NO such authority.

Yeah, he can’t, so.....

Hey CNN. Any opinion on Biden’s comments?

Can't stand him but he knows his base

Let them die. Then they can meet whoever they worship. COVIDIOTS COVIDIDIOTS

There doors are probably unlocked now but no one is flocking tothe pews

I have never seen him praying I one of those essential places . Only playing golf al Mar a Lago

Not sure how I’ve survived the last 15 years without these “essential” services. Maybe I’m really dead and and Trump being President is just a form of hell im existing in. Hope everyone who’s not dead is having a far better reality!

Real Worship is a Healer ! Beware of False Trump Worship Quand SPOTIFY célèbre Enfin L'Amour Véritable avec un Artiste ! musicindustry songs deezer compositeur artistes bestmusic chanteur spotify TrumpsJealousOfObama youtube music

For some people they are.

I don’t think he can do that and even if he does people I think are too smart to go to church to die

Just another one of his staged election performances to show his base 'how holy art thou'. His last 'Nativity' play being 3.5 year ago.

And has fired one more Watchdog...when do people in US wake up and get enough of this corrupt President acting as a true DICTATOR, who just fires everybody who does not agree with him and his sick mind. US is soon all alone in the world with this CRAZY person in the office...

Places of worship are not essential in the way hospitals, mortuaries, or farmers markets are. Wilful and reckless endangerment is what he's doing.

A lot of so-called Christians will be gone.

Obamagate CNN

Dictator trump

Each church will decide. He can’t mandate and force them to open. A responsible church will look at all factors and do so when they feel it is safe.

He's Satan in waiting not the Messiah and those preachers are going to Hell with him. Something in their scriptures about not worshiping false idols......

Like he goes to church. Or believes in him... he thinks he’s the second coming of Christ, such a stable Genius. It should be a requirement that Presidents know all the amendments and the Constitution !!

Do people not realize you can give money to the church, and therefore churches can give money to Trump, while in quarantine? Someone tell him so he can calm down. 🙄

So much for state's rights. TrumpPandemicFailure

Surprised he would want to kill off his voters!

What does he know about church; when is the last time he has been in one for religious not political reasons

Good thank you

Override a state government with his will? Hmm? Where have we seen this before, comrade?

He just think his supporters will appreciate this blanket support.. he doesn’t care if they live or die

He can not over ride ANYONE. realDonaldTrump know your role and limits. 25thiscoming

10th Amendment says otherwise

The govorners are creating unconstitutional orders, so the federal government is creating unconstitutional orders to order governors to stop unconstitutional orders? If you just let people decide, there would be no need for orders. K.I.S S.

Because he is such an avid church going guy and all... Pandering

Another distraction

Maybe Trump wants all the religious people to leave the world first

Playing to his base. Politics over life.

He doesn’t have the oower

BadLegalTakes

Dump it in the Trash, CNN! You guys need a life and one in a third world country so u really have something to talk about!

How convenient to now use the 1st amendment to open churches, but in the heat of the crisis, Trump stated he had no responsibility, and shut-downs were left up to the governors. Then leave these decision with the governors who should be talking to the mayors.

Thank you President Trump!!!

That’s our President, thank God Almighty the one living God for DJT!!

What a great strategy for re-election, to endanger your supporters.

I wonder if dipstick has ever heard of separation of church and state. Smh

Remember early in the Plandemic when Liberty University opened back up and had all of their students come back and they got a rash of crap for it? ZERO Corona cases!! ZERO!!!!

Trying to get that Evangelical vote . Problem is , he is going to kill off all the idiots that would vote for him.

What a TWIT.

Does Trump know that people who attend areas of worship are worshipping God and not him? And just by opening churches, it's not like he's going to get 'worship by association'

He can’t he has zero authority

gsu65 constitutional repubs

Today Trump's press conference (aka PR stunt) was aimed at the Christian Right. How exactly will he override the Governors in our system of Federalism? Apparently all he knows about the 10th amendment is it comes after the 9th amendment.

Time to OPEN....

He knows he doesn't have that authority. He's just gaslighting evangelicals into believing he cares, which they undoubtedly will. Its all about him and his reelection.

Remember he can't read unless the letters are really big.

The supreme power hunger is escalating. 😲😟

Covid19 would have ended but closing of churches it cant stop

Like that is more important than anything else, what an idiot.

Let him override the Governor's. If those who want to attend have outbreaks he can own it.

Church services have been televised for years for those that can’t leave to attend in public. My question stands. Why are they essential to visit in person?

Evangelicals think they are immune to this because they believe in fairy tales. Let them get sick. FakeEvangelicals

This is one of his re-election strategies, as he cares for people or God. Hypocrite

Trump being an exemplary leader as always!

Hey 45th you are REACHING. You know you can't do that. I don't care what you think you can do you can't do that.

Trump can not override the governors. Period.

It's simple. His millionaire, mega church, clonie preachers are pressuring him because they're collection plates aren't being filled. These churches are also filled with his supporters. That's his political angle. The fact you all aren't seeing this is baffling. 🤔
