Brilliant Decision from President Trump - ALL responsibility for opening States up is in the hands of the GOVERNORS

There's a huge difference between a "political" workplace and the cesspool that is DC. In the workplace (in the private sector at least), even with political intrigue you have to work toward a common goal or you implode and go out of business. DC has ZERO accountability and our elected leaders have proven time and again to work against each other for their own gain. No repercussions for screwing the people who elected you. A vote for/against a politician every 4 years is hardly the same as having to prove yourself every day.
And I don't need any lecture on workplace scars - I've earned plenty.

I think the brilliance is how he consistently trolls the wannabe totalitarians into exposing themselves. there was a time when they were able to disguise themselves from a gullible electorate; not so much any more...

I havent been paying that close of attention so perhaps Ive missed things that make him seem like a tyrant.

Not saying he was doing the tyranny thing (though I have a hard time believing his original rant from a few days ago, including the off the rails nonsense about "mutiny").
My point is first he says he's got "total control" over this issue, and then a few days later he says he doesn't.
So I'm not sure which of those things is him smacking down the governors as tyrants.
The underlying problem I have here is the "take all credit / avoid all blame at all costs" mindset that oozes from this guy.

I think that most of what he said was in regards to his spat with cuomo, and other demoncrat governors that were pushing back against him. I think he wanted to let cuomo know that he is higher on the food chain than he is. I think he backed off because he has good advisers telling him its the smart political move. I do think his comments were motivated by ego, but we know he loves to teoll the left as well so that probably plays a part.
Is a better move...
This way as some States hold out, they'll look for more $$$ from the big bad Fed! At that time, he'll say, I told you so, but sorry, you went your own way! Can't straddle the fence and enjoy both sides, you have to chose, and you did! Good luck!

I think alot of states are inflating the death numbers, associating other flu deaths to covid, just to get more free fed $.

Well YES....they shut the States down...they screamed when the President said He was going to open them. Take cummo for one example. All of his shortfalls he has blamed on the Feds(President) and looks like the golden child. We in NY...especially upstate, are screwed because he wants/wanted to skim hospital beds,PPE and ventillators to benefit downstate. Upstate is just his personal equipment depot and revenue generator. When he says it's a TEAM effort to defeat the virus,it really means downstate is the team and upstate is just the equipment

You put obummer in your corner and I'll take the President in mine. Trump has kept promises besides having the House against Him. He's told the rest of the World that this Country will NOT be shit on anymore.

Agreed, but i personally think the left has MORE ownership in this. Although the establishment on the right needs to go as well.

I had to look this up since I didn't believe it, either. It's there.
Should a President try to use this power, it'll certainly be challenged in court. But...it's in there....
United States Constitution
Article 2, Section 3
Article 2 - The Executive Branch
Section 3 - State of the Union, Convening Congress
He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper; he shall receive Ambassadors and other public Ministers; he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States.

Not sure what that has to do with "total control" of the states.

Governor Cuomo should spend more time “doing” and less time “complaining”. Get out there and get the job done. Stop talking! We built you thousands of hospital beds that you didn’t need or use, gave large numbers of Ventilators that you should have had, and helped you with....
Donald J. Trump
✔@realDonaldTrump
....testing that you should be doing. We have given New York far more money, help and equipment than any other state, by far, & these great men & women who did the job never hear you say thanks. Your numbers are not good. Less talk and more action!

Trump is far from perfect but the problem right now is not Trump, the Left or the Right, etc.. but
the entire system that is designed to amuse, entertain, and fail therefore perpetuating the decadence of nations and inequality for all.
But in order to be fair and objective lest just summarize in a short list the good and bad things our president and governor have done.
In order to remove bias we have to evaluate them in terms of results (actual output or completion of a task or initiative)
Trump
---------
Positive: New trade agreements. Economy strong (until virus hit). Response to the Virus slow (like everyone else) but addecuate given the circumstances.
Negative: Didn't deliver on his 100 day contract. Diplomacy is not his strong.
Cuomo:
-----------
Positive: Decent grants for special needs programs. Response to the Virus slow (like everyone else) but addecuate given the circumstances.
Negative: NY Corruption. Safe Act. NY Bankrupt, nr. 2 on the nation. High taxes. Peopole leaving the Sate. Raised his salary in the middle of a
national crisis.

He's a turd, wrapped in more turd. This crisis managed to sprinkle a little powdered sugar on him, but he's still an overwhelmingly poor governor who isn't much liked. I think he is even worse at handling criticism than Trump is and he cannot handle a debate.
