I honestly think in a SCOTUS battle, they would likely decide Trump does not have the right to force states to re-open, but long before that happens, the political battle would be won. And of course, since we are "at war," SCOTUS could rule with Trump, setting new precedent. — PolitiTweet.org

A president can declare he has any powers he wants. It is then up to SCOTUS to judge if he does. By declaring he has absolute power to re-open states, he puts Governors like Cuomo in a box. If Cuomo resists and remains closed while red states re-open, Trump marginalizes Cuomo. — PolitiTweet.org

In addition, because Governors are likely going to re-open states anyway, Trump is putting himself ahead of a fait accompli and can therefore claim he was the catalyst of re-opening America. He is also warning Governors to think hard before they close their states again. — PolitiTweet.org
