In one of the most unchained presidential tantrums ever captured on television, Trump's Monday display flouted every notion of calm leadership by the commander in chief in a crisis.He claimed powers never envisioned by the Constitution and insisted his"authority is total" to order states and cities to get moving again to break out of the frozen economy.
His conservative media boosters were jubilant in their early reviews, judging that he had torched his media questioners.The lesson of every previous Trump outburst and controversy is that his supporters are far more likely to believe his version of events than media fact checks and that the President may see some of his intended effect -- causing confusion and controversy that obscures the true story of the federal response.
