That was a rope-a-dope move. Now the libs are crying for the 10th amendment to be dusted off.
FWIW the president does have a lot of power via the commerce clause to order businesses back to work. He wont. He wont have to. These states will all be bankrupt in a month if they dont ease these draconian restrictions.
And THAT right there is the key to POTUS strength in this.
States are suffering revenue losses.
Sales tax
Parking tickets
Moving violations
Corporate taxes
Toll revenue
Building permit and inspection fees (BTW, look for your petty tyrant city inspectors to ramp up fines etc to make up for losses. Also look for property taxes to go way up. It’s coming folks, especially if your city/county government is leftist)
Parking fees
The list goes on and on
Very fast they will need bailouts from...that’s right uncle Sam.
“Great, we’re glad to help, once you follow national recommendations from the task force. Call us back when you’re on track”
If it leads to the defeat of Pres. Trump in November, they will consider the world well lost.
