Trump will use his Special Presidential Powers to re-open the United States
Listen to this articleUS President Donald Trump has declared that he is only one who can give a legal order opening the United States from its coronavirus lockdown. A number of experts have questioned President’s claim and criticized the impeached President is pushing his special presidential powers since he was acquitted by the US Senate. Trump’s aides didn’t reject that their boss felt newly confident with renewed swagger before the widespread Covid-19. It is noteworthy that Senate Democrats lack the votes to use his most norms-busting actions to convict and remove him from office. So, the GOP-run Senate cleared him on House-approved charges of abusing his power and obstructing the US Congress. Some aides said he felt more comfortable issuing pardons, delving into Justice Department matters, and taking other executive actions.
Trump has found his footing in large part by taking control of the daily Covid-19 press conference at the White House. It can span two hours and feature slews of misleading statements by the US President as he eggs on reporters to verbally joust each evening. Trump also has returned to aggressively using and testing the powers of the office of the president with his fighting spirit back. His decision to fire the intelligence community inspector general delivered a whistleblower’s concerns about Trump’s July 2019 telephone conversation with the new president of Ukraine, to the US Congress. It sparked House Democrats’ impeachment push. That sparked House Democrats’ impeachment push.

Benjamin Wittes of the Brookings Institution said, “If, three years ago, President Trump had removed two inspectors general from their posts within a week of each other for overtly self-interested reasons, as he has done over the past few days. It would have been a big scandal. Presidents don’t just fire inspectors general for doing their jobs, after all. This one does. At least the impeached-and-acquitted version of the 45th President, peppered his first verbal statements about firing the intel-sector IG, Michael Atkinson with misleading information”. Trump then informed reporters, and said, “He took a whistleblower report, which turned out to be a fake report, it was fake. It was totally wrong. It was about my conversation with the president of Ukraine. He took a fake report and he brought it to Congress, with an emergency. Okay? Not a big Trump fan that, I can tell you”.
