President Donald Trump sure knows how to ruffle feathers on both sides of the political aisle.
During his Monday Coronavirus press briefing at The White House, trump left both Constitutional Republicans and members Democrats scratching their heads after stating that he had “total” authority.
Trump said, “When somebody’s president of the United States, the authority is total. And that’s the way it’s got to be. It's total. It’s total. And the governors know that."
"They will agree to it," Trump said about state governors "But the authority of the president of the United States, having to do with the subject we’re talking about, is total.”
Trump was speaking in regards to reopening the economy that was shut down when the COVID-19 pandemic spread to the U.S.
As expected, the House Democratic Congressional caucus saw the controversial remarks as an opportunity to take another jab at Trump.
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D) tweeted a copy of the 10th amendment to the U.S. Constitution, suggesting to the president that he “should read it before” he continues to spout off about his power being “total.”
