But...

Finally a (REPUBLICAN)and This PRESIDENT Takes what we all been through for years and speaks out on our behalf! Thank You President Trump to Keep Telling It Like It Is! :)

....

Completely agree!

Watching the reaction of our Lying Fake News to Trump's video was pure gold! 🤣

[Jane Long]

Thanks, again, for today’s press beating thread.

One for the books.

Thanks, all, for so many GREAT posts!

[SteveH]

ok, now watch if the MSM asks the same governor-versus-plenary-presidential-emergency powers questions of Pence that they asked Trump...

[Political Junkie Too]

Sharing intel with the "presumptive nominee?"

No way... wait until the convention until an actual candidate is endorsed by the party and running.

Nothing sooner.

Andrew Cuomo and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer are on Trump's Task Force?? 😳

[Political Junkie Too]

Yes... I wish President Trump would qualify that it isn't an "absolute" power, but a "legislative" power by virtue of his invoking the emergency declaration for the virus.

The entire nation is under a declared state of emergency ... from the White House. His ability under law is absolute in such a situation.

I think it is instructive to recall Lincoln's actions. I agree with you given the makeup of the Senate and SCOTUS; there could be funding issues coming from the House. Most importantly, the 10th Amendment- as pointed out by others- does not give a state the right to interfere with civil liberties.

Her scarf closet must be the size of Jay Leno’s car garage.

I have noticed a tendency for Trump to strive to simplify his answers for the mentally challenged reporters, most of whom seem to have been promoted to WH correspondent without ever having taken and absorbed a poly sci 101 course covering USA government and history 101 USA history. (Not to mention Law 101.)
