Just the kind of leadership we need in these troubled times.
Barry said he had a pen and a phone and if Congress didn’t do what he wanted, he could unilaterally act through executive order.
Trump has spent much of his first term undoing Obama’s illegal actions, including his illegal deal with Iran and pretending to commit the U.S. to the Paris Climate Agreement without legal authority to do so.
::He got tired of trying to explain Federalism so he tricked them into supporting it!::

Context is everything.
He’s talking about opening up the country after the corona virus closure. He is not saying “I have total power over everything.”
So, does he in terms of restarting businesses across the country? It really depends on how Congress has written and the courts have interpreted the commerce clause.
Brett Baier is supposed to NEVER offer an opinion. He’s too much of a “journalist” to do that. So said Tucker Carlson the other night, and I heard it.
This is definitely an unsolicited opinion. And it betrays a bad view of deplorables and of President Trump. I think Baier is a neo-con and not just and establishmentarian.
What does Bret know about conservatives?
Hey Bret,
Follow the policy and not what Trump says in a PR off the cuff.
I think Trump “overspoke “. That’s what I remember as the excuse back when Obama cited authority he didn’t really have.
He’s right. Trump shouldn’t have spoken like a tyrant.
The next positive thing Bret Baier says about President Trump will be his first.
Bret Baier is one of the worst people on Fox. He’s another Shepard Smith.
thanks. I didn’t look for the YouTube vid...partly because he still nauseates me so much.
He was using his dictatorial power to further communism in the US. Trump is using the executive power to restore the country and get us back to Constitutional freedom.
Precisely
And folks now can’t say the shutdown was on orders of states cities and not Trump while defends his “total authority” comment.
Unforced error on his part to me.
Anybody recall "here's $180 billion to pour into weaponry, including nukes"?
Hell, even the Republicans pretended they had nothing to do with it.
The President wants the states to open up soon, and he knows that by telling the (mostly Dem) governors in the worst-off states that they can’t open without his permission, they will almost reflexively move to open as soon as they can, to challenge his authority.
No, what incident was that?
Bingo!
Agree.
Exactly.little bret has a memory that is defective.
“I see you have ignored the Wickard-Filburn court decision.”
Wickard v. Filburn applied to Congress, not the President. In any event, the decision was based upon a violation of a federal agricultural Act.
