We don't have a king.

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump's claim that he has total authority over governors to "reopen" states drew pushback Monday, including from some fellow conservatives.

During Monday's press briefing on the coronavirus pandemic, Trump said, “When somebody’s president of the United States, the authority is total. And that’s the way it’s got to to be. It's total. It’s total. And the governors know that."

"They will agree to it," Trump said of the governors. "But the authority of the president of the United States, having to do with the subject we’re talking about, is total.”

Mutta kun ei ole. Osavaltioiden kuvernoorit rajoittivat liikkumista ja vain he voivat purkaa paatoksen, presidentti ei voi vaikka niin luuleekin.
Molemmilla rannikoilla kuvernoorit ovat muodostaneet liittoutumia ja tekevat yhdessa paatoksia.
