This morning, the president said:

[pbmus]

‘For the purpose of creating conflict and confusion, some in the Fake News Media are saying that it is the Governors decision to open up the states, not that of the President of the United States & the Federal Government. Let it be fully understood that this is incorrect. … It is the decision of the President, and for many good reasons.’

‘With that being said, the Administration and I are working closely with the Governors, and this will continue. A decision by me, in conjunction with the Governors and input from others, will be made shortly! (my emphasis)’

I am asking all former Presidents to state very clearly that we are going to have elections in November. Either on social media or being interviewed. Please state this clearly and unequivocally that elections will be held.

1. Ask him to please cite the federal law or constitutional article that gives him this power?

I don't believe it exists.

2. Why would that have to be asked? Just say no, you don't have that power and do it!

He would have to get a court to agree with him. So we'd be betting on which court with which judges would give it a fair shot. That could be a problem.

3. He always squawks that Article II gives him the power to do whatever he wants. nt

4. Absolutely the dumbest President ever...

DT has two characteristics, that when combined are the most lethal combination possible for any human being:

1). Dumb as a box of rocks.
2). Overconfident.

This is why the country careens from disaster to outrage to disaster over and over again.

Hopefully we've learned as a country that electing an arrogant dumb ass is a bad idea...

5. Oh, tRUMP said that? You threw me off since I don't think of him as President...

[gibraltar72]

6. Well I guess that settles that.

[Permanut]

7. The grammar and syntax are coherent..

Not one "tremendous" or "incredible" in the whole thing. Conclusion: not written by Mango Mussolini.
