@TrumpWarRoom GREAT JOB Mr.President for standing up for yourself and your team!!! I am so glad you finally highlighted some of the lies and BS! Awesome briefing today! Thank you and your team for all you are doing and all the hours and hard work! God Bless you all!!
@NBCNews He refused to claim responsibility to close the country and forced the states to mess that up themselves. How can he then claim to have the responsibility to open it back up again? #IdiotInChief
Fact check: Trump claims it's his call on when to "reopen" the country.
Authority to require businesses to close in a public health crisis is known as a "police power," and it's reserved by the Constitution to the states, not to the federal government. https://t.co/fEVp7vKZ1C
Trump says President has total authority. As Harry Truman said about Nixon — he may have read Constitution but he didn’t understand it. In Trump’s case given his statement today, he clearly didn’t even read it.
Under the Constitution, public health and safety is primarily the domain of state and local officials and it was not clear what, if any, authorities President Trump could use to overrule their decisions. https://t.co/PIJAFgOYlj
Trump is asked what provisions in the Constitution give him the right to re-open the country. Trump says "numerous provisions" and offers to provide a list. He doesn't actually name any provisions. The Constitution largely gives states the authority to regulate their own affairs.
This thread exposes the media dishonesty regarding their current vs. early reporting of the virus & they false claim that everyone knew what was coming except Trump & that Trump had made no preparations #TrumpMeltdown#PressBriefing

Watch Trump tells this Reporter, "Enough" after she asks Trump who told him that he has "Total Authority".
CHILLING. Disturbing. Out-of-control. #TrumpMeltdown
