OMG..This means he will just let the Americans be infected & die without doing something..Useless😈

Dammit, NOBODY IS REPORTING THAT HE COULDNT HAVE ANYWAY,

The CDC has the authority to do it.

He can’t.

Its everyone for themselves. No govt, only for asskissers.

ABC is dumb

Because he can't.

Let Fredo do what the leftists elected him to do. Why do leftists always sit back and cry till the feds do their job?

His initial reaction was right. Would save lives. Cuomo now responsible for NY deaths.

Poor headline, he can’t, it’s unlawful. You know that ABC, why not say it like it is. Your bias is showing.

Translation Trump Aides had to tell him he doesn't have the authority to quarantine a state. 🚨Fixed it for you🚨

Completely jealous of and insecure about Cuomo, who with every daily virus briefing outshines and outperforms the ass🤡 in the White House.

The fake emperor king thinks he can do anything he wants he’s a fake it’s against the law to shut down New York And New Jersey he’s a fake want to be king

The proper headline is Pres. Trump CAN'T use enforceable quarantine in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. He does not have the authority. That belongs to the governors. Do better.

Trump's presidency is right on the line now. Handling this pandemic is defining his presidency. You cant make a deal with a killer virus.

Good move.

He can’t

Political theater like everything that child does.

출석^^ 10번 국민의당!!!

Trump does not even have the power to do it!

I knew Jared could talk some sense into him.

😂😂😂😂

Trump Signs $2 Trillion Coronavirus Relief Bill Into Law, Largest Aid Package In U.S. HistoryAs Congress passes a $2 trillion economic relief bill, Forbes reporter Jack Brewster explains what that will mean Remember 10% for me 👍💰💰💰 I don’t get it. The stimulus bill says they will use 2018 and then later states if you didn’t file a refund in 2018 they can replace 2019 with 2018 but all the media is reporting the exact opposite. They say they will use 2019 first. I don’t think that is what the bill states. So where is this money coming from? If the federal gov doesn’t have to balance out any other budget from this 2T stimulus bill? Millions even billions I get, but 2T? That’s way to much to not be balanced out somewhere else...

U.S. lacks a quarterback in COVID response as Trump fails to leadRachel Maddow explains that without a central federal coordinator leading the effort against the spread of the coronavirus, Americans may suffer for lack of medical care even when there are sufficient supplies nationally because the states have been made to compete against each other for medical equipment. maddow maddow Probably a good time here to remember that Maddow’s legal defense in a defamation lawsuit is that she’s more prone to “rhetorical hyperbole” than facts. maddow
