German Health Minister @jensspahn tells me that in his country, numbers of new infections are down, and that they will begin to re-open -- but only very carefully, step-by-step.

@realDonaldTrump Mutiny on the Bounty was about the ruthless, unjust, tyrannical Captain Bligh of the HMS Bounty who shackled his own crew and tortured so many of his own men that they mutinied against him. It’s fascinating that Trump sees himself as Captain Bligh. It’s quite terrifying as well.

@amuse “We” aren’t supposed to make money from USPS...we DON’T support it with our taxes, and “we” don’t make any money if USPS goes under. Fed Ex & UPS are private companies. Their C-suites & shareholders make money.

Also Fed Ex & UPS are NOT in the Constitution. USPS is.

@nuckifyou @BeingMewithOCD @chrisbaileyguy @RYoublind @amuse @SusanMMiles You should probably do some research into the vulnerability of our national grid and how long we would be without power if it fails. We’re as prepared for that as we were for a pandemic.

@amuse 👇Did you know?

[rkt_fam @RktFam]

@amuse This is BS and you know it. The USPS suffers from the sabotage of the UAPA legislation. I guess love of the Constitution is contingent on whether there’s a way to make corporations richer.

Peter Navarro defended the Trump administration’s #coronavirus pandemic response on CBS on Sunday night, angrily challenging his hosts to show him they had covered pandemic preparations under previous administrations.

So 60 Minutes did.

Trump: My authority is total but my responsibility is zero. What leadership.

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

Trump today: “When somebody is the president of the United States, the authority is total. And that's the way it's gotta be. It's total."
This probably sounded better in the original Italian.

Hey @GOP,

Are you cool with @realDonaldTrump claiming that he has “total authority” over the states?

Never mind...you will remain silently complicity as your “Dear Leader” shreds our constitution and lights it on fire.

Cowards.🤬

[Daniel Dale @ddale8]

.@kaitlancollins tells Trump it's not true that he has "total" authority here. Trump, again not responding directly, says, "We're going to write up papers on this...the governors need us one way or another..."

She asks who told him he has total authority. "Enough," he responds.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

When Trump inevitably tries to blame others for his failures, just remember that he already told us he has “total authority.”

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

Pretty sure the @VP would not have argued for the president’s “total authority” over the states when he was a governor.

[Moe Davis (U.S. Air Force, Retired) @ColMoeDavis]

The last man who said he had “total authority” over America was King George III. @realDonaldTrump is delusional and dangerous.

[Jim Acosta @Acosta]

Trump says the authority of the president is “total.” (Reporter checks US constitution) This is not true.

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

OMG trump gets pressed on his "total authority" statement, tries to side-step it, gets pressed again, and then shuts her down.

"But who told you the President has total authority?"

trump: "ENOUGH!"

He does NOT like his authority being questioned. #trumpMeltdown
