Publishers Notes: JUST DO IT MR. TRUMP, PLEASE!
President Trump told governors on a conference call Monday that he "will step in" if the federal government disagrees with state reopening plans, as he largely expressed satisfaction with how the governors are moving to lift coronavirus restrictions in their individual states, according to a report.
Trump, whose administration last month revealed guidelines for when states should begin lifting stay-at-home orders and other social distancing measures meant to slow the spread of the virus, has vocally pushed for the rapid reopening of the economy. The president said in an interview with Fox Business' Maria Bartiromo last week that his critics want the economy to remain shuttered until the November election, calling Democrats' reluctance to lift the coronavirus measures "a political thing."
"The governors are making their decisions, and want to make their decisions, and that's the way I want it to, and we will step in if we see something going wrong, or if we disagree, and some people say that's nice, and some people say I shouldn't be doing that, but we're going to do it if we see something wrong," Trump said to the governors Monday, according to audio of the call obtained by CBS.

Nah - his hands are still tied.
ReplyDeleteHowever, scolding via media will get those states constituents up in arms to push their Governors in the correct direction.
How long will that last though?
I beg President Trump to override the states authority and OPEN OUR BUSINESS. Everywhere but Maryland it seems are starting the process - especially in PG and Monkey county.
ReplyDeleteMakes more sense than Adolph Hogan and his Third Reich ELITE only policies or Cuomo / Blasio threatening to drag people out of the ocean.
ReplyDeleteCough federal overreach cough
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I think he means he will step in if they are being "unsafe". There are plenty of states that are staying closed without reason and he isn't doing anything about it.
ReplyDeleteUnsafe like not wearing a mask?
DeleteThe problem is He left it up to the States.
ReplyDeleteCan't tell me I have to wear a MASK BC I have Asthma and cannot have any air restrictions.
