Hours after suggesting that the bipartisan concerns of governors about his assertion of power would amount to an insurrection, Trump abruptly reversed course, saying he would leave it to governors to determine the right time and manner to revive activity in their states.
Trump said he would be speaking with governors, probably on Thursday, to discuss his administration's plans.
“The governors are responsible," Trump said Tuesday. “They have to take charge.”
Still, he insisted, “The governors will be very, very respectful of the presidency."
Trump began to soften his approach later in the day as he met with people who have recovered from COVID-19, including former pro football player Mark Campbell and Karen Whitsett, a member of the Michigan House.
“I’m going to be making a decision pretty quickly,” he said, “and it’s being done in conjunction with governors.”
Still, Trump warned that he would be monitoring the performance of governors, and signaled he might blame them if he believes their actions slow the pace of what he hopes will be a robust economic recovery.
“If they don’t do a good job we’re going to come down on them hard," Trump said.

He also directed his administration to freeze funding to the World Health Organization, claiming the international body didn’t deliver adequate early reports on the virus and cost the U.S. valuable response time.
“The WHO failed in this basic duty and must be held accountable,” Trump said. He said the U.S. would review the organization's warning about the virus threat and China.
Earlier Tuesday, Trump initially indicated he was relishing the fight with state officials — particularly Democrats in hard-hit states — who have voiced fears that the president’s ambitious timetable could lead to a resurgence of a virus that is still killing more than 1,000 Americans a day.
“A good old fashioned mutiny every now and then is an exciting and invigorating thing to watch, especially when the mutineers need so much from the Captain,” Trump tweeted, adding, “Too easy!”

You are getting your money late because the President thinks it is more important that his name be on the check than that you are able to pay your bills on time. This is not a rhetorical flourish. The checks are delayed. Because of Trump.
On Monday, the Treasury Dept. announced Trump had asked that his name be on all Stimulus checks, creating a delay.
It wasn’t presidential leadership. It wasn’t executive power made manifest. It wasn’t a grown-ass adult facing a serious crisis. It was an angry, needy man not looking outward to the needs of a nation in crisis but inward, and downward.
RACIST REPUBLICANS
Anyone—and I mean anyone—who tells you Monday’s presser was anything other than a complete meltdown shitshow on the top of the dumpster fire at the peak of Burning-Tire Mountain is a liar.
Looking like a low-rent strip-mall law firm—Dullard, Trifle & Mook, perhaps—Trump’s economic recovery squad isn’t a team of rivals but a team of trivials with the baseline understanding that Washington and New York media still fall for the trappings of normalcy even though every decision is still predicated on L’Etat c’est Trump.
So swiftly does his daily deluge of falsehoods, contradictions, and self-exculpation swell that the New York Times sorts them into categories: “Playing down the severity of the pandemic”; “Overstating potential treatments and policies”; “Blaming others”; and “Rewriting history.”
FOUR MORE YEARS I DON'T THINK SO
Hispanics For TRUMP 2020!
Get a life and good night sleep you arrogant, needy scum. Posting continuing negative attitude toward our United State President Trump. Just yesterday, a neighbor lady went to Progreso Mexico to get her hair done. Doesn't seem like your local gate keepers, such as governor, law enforcement, judges, local Political leaders, mayors are enforcing any restriction orders. Just recently, Judge Richardo Adobbati addressed 21 year olds as "CHILDREN", who didn't know any better than to go and contaminate innocent, helpless victims. Yet today Sheriff address 14 year old as minors and anyone older is an adult. It's money making that makes the difference and governors our true legal citizens. If Governor Abbott allows for such corruption to govern our community, then he does need to be man up and pay for the failure to secure and protect our state of Texas. Also, last time I checked the countries such as Poland, Israel, and China are third world Dictatorship countries. United States of America is not third world. You Got Shit Because You Rip Shit. Clean yourself up and get a life.
the world is on fire and there's a mutiny aboard while Capt Trump is questioning the kitchen staff to see who's stealing the strawberries
Viva Trump all you haters, Trump will win once again, four more years.
Wait sheriff has a 14 year old son and he's 80 years old? smh He needs to be sheriff at least another 14 years.
Report: Adding Trump's Name To Checks Will Delay Them. IRS Says They're On Schedule Da King speaks hahahaha
Wins in Alabama, Kentucky, Louisiana, and now a crushing victory in the most important swing state of them all. Trump has no one beyond his base.
Not Enough Political Viagra in the World’ to Save Trump in Wisconsin
If you watched President Donald Trump’s daily press briefing Monday, you know that even by his abysmal standards this was the loudest siren yet, a warning that the man occupying the Oval Office is more suited to a very long, involuntary stay in an inpatient mental-health facility than the presidency of the United States.
trump, the acting president.
