Maybe he’s laid a trap for the states to finally recognize their own sovereignty. Now the MSM is bringing out the 10th Amendment. They declared it dead when Obama was president.

I agree that Trump does not have total authority. But then now the libs are touting Federalism.

Do you think maybe Trump’s choice of words was possibly Genius. If the states are given the right to declare their own response to this Crisis, then when the SHTF, he cannot be blamed.

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...

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.
