The man is gaslighting America
He claims to have to authority to do anything and order anything
And yet just weeks ago he was asked why he didn't order...or even ask the states to close down...ans he said he didn't have that power
The man will just say anything
Donald John Trump power as President is that he can close and reopen Federal Agencies and Lands.
As for State and Local agencies that are not within the Federal Jurisdiction he can not order their closing or reopening that falls on the Governors, County Officials and Mayors...
As for Private Businesses that fall on the private owner and unless they have Federal Contracts there is little Trump can do.
Now isn't it funny how the left now understands Trump could not force States to comply with a National Shutdown and Lockdown when Trump claims he can force States to reopen...
Nobody on the left thinks Trump could force states to comply with a national shutdown.
We think he could have and SHOULD HAVE gotten in front of cameras in February or early March and told the nation that this was serious and required that we severely curtail our social activities.
He did not do that. Instead, he minimized the seriousness and was not a leader when we needed a leader most.
"We think he could have and SHOULD HAVE gotten in front of cameras in February or early March and told the nation that this was serious and required that we severely curtail our social activities. "
Really?

On February 29th, Fauci went on NBC and said ‘don’t be too worried.’
Alexander: "So, Dr. Fauci, it’s Saturday morning in America. People are waking up right now with real concerns about this. They want to go to malls and movies, maybe the gym as well. Should we be changing our habits and, if so, how?"
Fauci: "No. Right now, at this moment, there’s no need to change anything that you’re doing on a day by day basis. Right now the risk is still low, but this could change. I’ve said that many times even on this program. You’ve got to watch out because although the risk is low now, you don’t need to change anything you’re doing. When you start to see community spread, this could change and force you to become much more attentive to doing things that would protect you from spread."
