“Trump isn’t imposing anything.”
No, but he certainly told those governors to lock down stridently, or he would exercise he legal power to implement a regional quarantine.
And if they don’t, he will.
May be.
I know the Governors need protection from interstate commerce legalities.
you’re right. Trump has sent a very clear msg over the last two weeks he expects the governors to govern. Unfortunately, some governors aren’t able to govern, they’re only geared to politic and for them a size 14 boot up their butt is a rude awakening. Take Cuomo - neurotic over ventilators on his daily rants, then admitting by mistake he has 4K in a warehouse at the ready. What else he has in a warehouse is a different thread, but he’s clearly politicking more than he’s leading. If he was leading, we wouldn’t have doctors and nurses on TV and media complaining about PPE and ICU equipment shortages. Rather than hour-long powerpoint presentations he’d be out in the field, no time for daily briefings used more to challenge the President than drive any inspired response in his state.
