“When somebody is president of the United States, the authority is total,” Trump said at Monday’s White House coronavirus briefing. “The governors know that.”
Why demonstrate childlike thinking by nitpicking over the use of the term "administrative branch"? That poster's point was obvious, regardless of whether the precise terminology was used, yet you chose to parse words instead of address its substance. What does that achieve? Do you think others think you are smarter by doing so?
then you tell me, what is this administrative branch? Do you know? Who's in charge of it?
Nonsense. From day 1 of his administration Trump has said he has, or should have, total power as president. In this case, as Myghost suggested, he realized, or more likely had explained to him, that claiming absolute power over the pandemic response might not be such a good idea. So he changed his mind as he has hundreds of times before when reality intrudes on his fantasy of being a Kim Jong-un type dictator.
Having full power, means accepting full blame when things go off track. He accepts no blame, even when he hoses things up. No he doesnt have FULL power over states governors. He thinks he does. He has been told different.

Trump loves to talk a big game about how omnipotent his authority is, but does very little to exercise that in a practical and effective way. That's because he doesn't want any possible blame if stuff doesn't go his way.
The buck doesn't stop here...unless it's money in his bank account.
Why didn’t the Fed issue a national Stay at Home order?
Why would Wyoming, where one’s closest neighbor is a half a mile away and public transportation is very limited take the same action as a densely populated area, with robust public transportation?
Exactly. Not every state has the same circumstances, which is why it's left up to the states to decide which measures to take.
Not everywhere in the USA is like a congested NYC. Florida is the third most populous state, and yet they have a tiny fraction of the problems they have in New York and New Jersey. Nothing was stopping the Governor of NY from announcing mitigation actions weeks before the feds decided to make the same recommendation for the entire nation
The Governors made to tough decision to minimize theeconomy to essential services as they grappled with the pandemic. Trump is trying to create the perception that he has been in charge all along while most people know he dropped the ball. When the tough decisions needed to be made he was MIA..there were no recomendation then..he has been playing catch up all along and he has been all over the place..no steady and dependable hand.#weak and incompetent
Q: How do you know when Trump is trolling?
A: When he opens his mouth
He's so good at it, it almost makes me forget he broke his promises about reducing spending and non involvement in the Middle East.
