Please note the chyron by CNN (screen capture)Donald Trump held another of his propaganda rallies White House press briefings on the coronavirus threat today, and it didn’t go well.
At one point, he claimed he has “total authority” as president to do what he wants like re-open all the businesses in the country when he wants to.
Mind you, it’s the governors of each state that has made the decisions to announce stay-at-home orders, but now the Donald says he can do what he wants when he wants because “the Constitution says so.”

OMG trump gets pressed on his “total authority” statement, tries to side-step it, gets pressed again, and then shuts her down.
“But who told you the President has total authority?”
trump: “ENOUGH!”
He does NOT like his authority being questioned. #trumpMeltdown pic.twitter.com/6dvfSXVyT5

I’ll also mention it became apparent during today’s press briefing that the writer of CNN’s chyron has zero fucks left to give.
