Trump angrily reads his statement about reopening places of worship and then leaves without answering questions

all this talk of church and golf reminds me of the time Trump finished playing a round and then went to a church with his golf gear still on

the coronavirus situation isn't yet noticeably improving in DC

well we know what Trump is doing this weekend ...

After speaking at length without a mask, Birx is now answering questions with a mask on

. @kwelkernbc: The president said he's going to override governors if they don't reopen churches. Under what authority?

McENANY: You're posing a hypothetical

W: He said it!

M: You're assuming that governors are going to keep churches shut down. That is a hypothetical question.

"Kayleigh, I object to that. I go to church. I'm dying to go back to church" -- @jeffmason1 takes umbrage after McEnany suggests that reporters don't want churches to reopen because they have something against religion

Holy shit. McEnany takes a Q from ultra-sycophantic OAN about whether Trump has considering pardoning Obama "for illegally wiretapping" him. (That didn't happen.) McEnany uses it as an opportunity to attack the press for not covering Obamagate & then abruptly ends the briefing.

Trump claims he will “override the governors” who closed churches in the pandemic. That’s not legal. https://www.vox.com/2020/5/22/21267856/trump-churches-override-governors-not-legal-constitution-coronavirus
