Fox News anchor Bret Baier on Tuesday called out the "hypocrisy" of President Trump's claim the day before that he has "total" authority when it comes to reopening the nation's economy, saying that conservative heads would have "exploded" had former President Obama said the same thing.

Once again, Trump the political genius is on the right side of this issue and the deranged dimocrats are in favor of keeping life and the economy strangled. As time goes on, more and more people are in favor of getting back to normal, considering how little damage this virus has done.
Yes, Trump, in spite of how the media attempts to portray him, has not shown any sign that he would abuse authority.
My head would explode if Obambi actually knew he had that power.
Yes Brett, conservatives would have done so if it had been Obama
It might do Brett some benefit to take a moment to observe the difference between the two people
Start with the idea that Obama hates us.
Wasn’t Obama spying on Team Trump?
Well since PDJT doesn’t have total authority to end lockdowns/quarantines, no problem!
State and county health departments have the final say.

Newsflash Bret, he said it MULTIPLE times.
The Forehead: “Stroke of the pen, law of the land, kinda cool”
I still see Bret as the cub reporter who wasn’t able to access the verdict in the OJ Simpson civil trial.
Brett lives in a fantasy world.
He got tired of trying to explain Federalism so he tricked them into supporting it!
Only a leftist believes a country in crisis should be led by committee.
During these uncertain times we need one leader with a backbone and the interests of the American people foremost in his mind.
President Trump is exactly the right kind of leader needed.
Dems always use a crisis to gain more power/influence; not fix the problem. This is an immutable fact written in granite.
Trust a left winger at your own peril.
Well, there’s a fairly big difference between Donald J. Trump and Barry Soetoro, Bret, you blockhead.
Dana Perino accidentally or intentionally gave Brett away today. He is and has been a liberal Democrat.
Was he wrong?
I like the way you think. I have to keep reminding myself that he rarely “misspeaks”. He usually says exactly what he means to say...
WTF is his point? Trump and Obama are the same? What a stupid comment.
“Trump, Obama, George Washington - President does not have total authority.”
I think Trump misspoke when he said the president has “total authority.”
But what the president arguably DOES have, is authority on issues that affect national interests, such as interstate commerce. So, if a company in, say, New York does business outside of New York, that would fall under interstate commerce. A president would NOT have authority over a shop that interacted solely within the borders of the state within which it resided, although the federal government would have jurisdiction over that company under certain circumstances (for example, in the event of constitutional violations).
If Obama was disinterested in power, he would have faded into obscurity. He has not. I still consider him a very, very dangerous man.
President Trump declared the national emergency so I would say yes Brett is wrong.
However Trump has said he is working with the States, which is common sense.
“Dana Perino accidentally or intentionally gave Brett away today. He is and has been a liberal Democrat.”
I missed that. What did she say?
