Remember when President Trump wanted to quarantine New York but the media and libs flipped out?
And people tell me Trump is the dictator? I would expect the courts to shut him down hard to be honest here.
It’s funny that when Trump suggested a quarantine for the coronavirus when NY was hit hard the left was screaming about fascism 🤔 https://t.co/u31lyEd4Iy

We expect President Biden will find this pretty difficult to implement:
So after four years of Democrats, complaining Trump thinks he is a dictator, their nominee is saying out loud he will be a dictator if “the scientists” tell him to be. No President has the power or authority to shut down the entire country, we are a federal republic. https://t.co/EffBO7yrx2
