in a state of emergency is he wrong?
A bit like you, yes.

And so do the people who brief the president of the USA.
He may not have ultimate power over everything but in a state of emergency he has enough power to convince governors to do as they are told. He can exert enough pressure on any state through emergency powers to force any governor into line if he needs to or he can deny support and show the governor to be incompetent. He has called out the governor of Illinois tonight. I ill be watching Pritzkers ratings with interest.
Sure if your assumption that he isn't properly briefed is true. But neither you or I know if that's correct or not.I think your first sentence is inaccurate. Also irrelevant, if he doesn’t read the briefs.
If he declares a state of emergency and invokes emergency powers, would part of those emergency powers really be to open up states, rather than ensuring they stay closed?And so do the people who brief the president of the USA.

Emergency and open up, don’t really add up.
Amusing. More than likely an accurate explanation for the increasingly erratic behaviour of this madman. Well observed. Welcome light relief. Are those enough reasons?why is that brilliant?

i don't want to defend the guy too much because I'm no MAGA guy and I'm also not a big fanboy. I don't live in the states, I know many many friends who do. we are all from a similar background and from the same industry (aviation). I've spent many months working in the States, all corners, but always in the same industry with similar minded people so I don't claim to have any real insight. Of course he did get elected, and probably will be again. But as I say that's outside my purview. What i will say is listen to the last question of the briefing a couple of days ago and his last few sentences of reply and tell me hand on heart that his heart is not in the right place.

That would be a cunts trick and blackmail?????
He will probably announce which states no longer need to be declared an emergency. It will then be up to the state governors what they do. They will no longer be entitled to the financial aid that applies to the emergency.
The governors then have the choice to do as they feel fit.
You hate him and cannot watch with unbiased eyes Karen. It's fine, i don't want to argue with you. I just disagree. He made everything available. He agreed to every request even when his top medical advisers said it was unrealistic. What else should he do?He can't even talk about deaths with bragging about the economy
Saying governor is having a hard job filling the hosp he built,erm you don't want it filled
no, that would be constitutional.That would be a cunts trick and blackmail
What dont you like about it?
He has often said that states have asked for stuff,he doesn't think they needed it so negotiated them down,he is so all over the place who knows what to believe,ifthere is any pressure to be applied it will be on the democratic governors,he is a horrible person,he is driven by having the economy doing well,that is all he talks about as he needs it good for the electionYou hate him and cannot watch with unbiased eyes Karen.

It's childish nonsense which bares no relation to reality. It's a fantastical image propagated by those who have an opposite political persuasion in order to undermine the actions of the president of the USA based on their imagination rather than any fact.What dont you like about it?
Only he would do that when people are dyingno, that would be constitutional.
