Trump To Overrule Governors, Yet Again

Sort of....

Trump announced Friday that he was designating churches, synagogues and mosques as “essential places that provide essential services” as the nation continues to combat the coronavirus, despite lacking legal power over state governance.

“Some governors have deemed liquor stores and abortion clinics as essential, but have left out houses of worship. It’s not right,” Trump said. “So I’m correcting this injustice by calling houses of worship essential.”

“If they don’t do it, I will override the governors,” the president threatened.

Not clear what Constitutional authority he will assert, to make Governors do it, but "saying" it, is all he seems to need, to secure the Evangelical vote, and I say that because no non-Orthodox Jewish votes or Muslim votes, not controlled by the Saudis, will be going his way.
At some point, responsible human beings, including state government and even those serving under him need to 1) stop listening to him, and 2) stop treating those who support him as legitimate members of society.

@MistyCee I've been thinking, for the past 5 years, this is going to happen any day, but yet, here we are...

@Northwest the challenge is the alternatives are only slightly better and more of the crap that set Tide Pod up to win in the first plac
A lot of churches here are streaming it online or doing it over the radio. 🤷 People can still have their religious services at a distance.
@AmbivalentFriability That’s what my parents’ church has been doing—and what they plan to continue doing because there are so many elderly among their parishioners.

Imo, Trump has low self esteem and acts like this wannabe dictator to bring it up. He can’t accept that state governors have more authority over their state than he does.

My governor has been making exceptions for a certain religion. At least they’ll be legal now.

No but everything he talks about centers around them and he opens and shuts down things according to their religious belief. @Northwest

@Keepitsimple In a handful of states, it seems as if life revolves around Catholic holidays/traditions, never mind it's mostly for show.

@Northwest Its not the Catholics here, that’s all I’ll say 😉
