| | | Trump declares he has kingly powers as he falls apart in public:

"Let, let me put it very simply. I’m just going to put it very simply. The President of the United States has the authority to do what the President has the authority to do, which is very powerful.
The President of the United States calls the shots.
If we weren’t here for the states, you woulda had a problem in this country like you’ve never seen before. We were here to back them up. And we back and we more than back them up. We did a job that nobody ever thought was possible. It’s a decision of the President of the United States.
Now with that being said, we’re gonna work with the states, because it’s very important. You have local governments. They’re pinpointed. And really, you talk about, uh, it’s like a microchip. They’re pinpointed. We have local governments. Hopefully they’ll do a good job.
And if they don’t do a good job, I step in so fast. But no, they can’t do anything without the approval of the President of the United States. When somebody is President of the United States, the authority is total.
You have a couple of bands of, uh, Democratic governors, but, uh, they will agree to it, they will agree to it, but, uh, the authority of the President of the United States having to do with the subject we’re talking about is total." |
