What do you think of President Trump’s tweet that Cuomo has been “begging” him for supplies and now he wants “independence” and that “that won’t happen”?I think it shows a dichotomy of thought.Cuomo was begging for supplies. The Feds had them and New York needed them. The Feds couldn’t quite muster up the gumption to send them up in a timely fashion.Washigton tried to block surgical masks going to Canada but then sent the Israeli military a million masks that probably should have gone to New York a month ago. This is after the President said he’s a “wartime President” and we are at war with an invisible enemy. An invisible enemy in North America mind you. So why send much needed masks not to the front line but all the way to Asia Minor?Andrew Cuomo was already the most independent governor in the country. He skirmishes with the DNC routinely, gets grudging respect from his home state Republicans, seldom bows to Washigton and frankly criticized the whole Federal System when he feels that’s warranted and none of that is new. He was doing all of that ten damn years ago. He’s the most moderate moderate in the country and that has always made him a political unicorn.Trump invoked the 9th and 10th Amendments to sidestep any economic culpability in this whole fiasco and that put the burden squarely on Andrew Cuomo’s shoulders. The problem here is that Governors actually are enormously powerful in our system and Cuomo has more, home state, political capital than any other politician in the country.Trump can’t make Cuomo do squat. At this point the entire, considerable, New York State infrastructure is behind Cuomo and that is probably going to include Wall Street and that considerable population of billionaires. Cuomo is their guy right now, Trump is not.What is Trump going to do? Send in the 82nd Airborne and have troops serve tapas food in Soho?No.That tweet sounds tough but it’s actually the deflective retort of a bruised 13 year old’s ego.Yesterday it was announced that New York, New Jersey and Conneticut would coordinate a phased reopening of their economies. By the end of the day, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Delaware had all committed to the program too. Add all of them together and that is the world’s sixth largest economy. That’s a G7 superstate.Trump wanted to be the guy who announced that the war was won and we are open for business. The very governors he has slighted over the last three weeks just stole his thunder. Worse yet, they just Federalized outside of Washington’s control and didn’t invite Trump to the party.This means that the whole country might still be watching Cuomo everyday on TV. That’s going to rankle the diva in the White House. He’s already scheduling his press conferences so they don’t interfere with Cuomo’s. He doesn’t want to come in second in the “ratings”.Yesterday Trump reversed his position on the 10th Amendment, now that it’s convenient to do so, and asserted absolute Federal Authority, something he gave up a month ago when it was going to include hard work on his part.This is all utterly absurd.That working group of 7 States, more than half of the original 13 colonies. Will determine their own protocols and timeline. They are going to do it together, smartly and hopefully seamlessly. Their decision making should hopefully be in the best interest of their citizens. Not Trump’s poll numbers.His assertion last night of absolute authority is meaningless. He actually had that but squandered it in indecisiveness and petty vindictiveness.How does he propose to force them into anything?He could withhold Federal Aid, which he has possibly already done. I point out the Israelis above for just this reason. He prioritized a foreign state over a US State. Israel has a socialized medical system.He could pull Federal Funding of Federal Facilities, hurting business and jobs going forward. That’s a huge disaster brewing. The combined tax base of these States exceeds most of the country.He could send in the Army. This is basically executing a coup e’tat on the original signatory states of the Constitution. That will go over like a lead balloon and is specifically prohibited by the Constitution.He can keep on tweeting like a twelve year old “mean girl”.He will choose option #4. That’s all he has because the rest of Washington won’t back him on the first three. If those states decide to stall federal tax payments they can do to the Federal Treasury what the Coronavirus has done to theirs.He has spent this whole drama trying to spin public perception. Trying to sidestep culpability for mistakes while simultaneously snatching credit for any minor win. He wants credit for a roaring economy because he knows he can’t win in November without that. Sadly it was his own procrastination and rejection of expertise that led us to where we are.He can’t have it both ways.Andrew Cuomo took sole responsibility the day he started phased shutdowns in New York State. He was unequivocal, “if this proves to be a mistake it’s on me, don’t blame the mayors, the legislature, the bloc health officials or the emergency managers. This was my call”.Andrew Cuomo owned it and it turns out he was right. The other governors followed suit. They knew it was the right call, to be better safe than sorry. They had to lead while Trump played cheerleader and spin doctor.We’ve had three years of Trump tweets. 99% of them are the delusional ramblings of an internet troll. He has repeatedly asserted that Article II gives him the absolute right to do whatever he wants. Now he faces a super regional bloc of Governors and the Constitution awards him no such power in that realm.Trump invoked the 10th Amendment and that moment ended his absolute authority.POTUS is not a dictatorial position. The authority of that office is derived from the acquiescence of the population. The consent of the structures beneath him. The President is the CEO of the largest corporation the world has ever known. Like all CEOs his time is limited and his ability to lead is sourced in the confidence of the various subordinates and the board of directors. The 50 state governors are in all meaningful ways the board of directors.The governors independence is baked in collectively it is incontrovertible. In their own demesne they have more assets and resources than the President and by custom his resources are integrated to theirs. The US Marshals, US Attorneys even the military is as likely to move on a sitting Governor as they are to move on a sitting President.Key to this quandary. His assertion of absolute Federalism coupled to his waffling on the 10th Amendment in the face of a National Tragedy erodes his own political capital. It undermines the deeply held beliefs of the Constitutional Conservatives.He has spent two weeks in his nightly press conferences airing grievances, issuing threats and looking for enemies. These drag on longer and longer everyday with his actual experts standing there, inactive, dutifully nodding as Americans die. Doctors Birx and Fauci could be doing almost anything else, including sleeping and We the People would be better off.We still don’t have tests. We are weeks behind on contact tracing. Nothing will really be open without tests and this won’t be over without a vaccine. That is just objective reality.Trump’s tweets and his nightly campaign rallies will continue because that’s all he knows how to do. Four years ago he promised “great healthcare” yet under his watch the US Healthcare system has come as close to collapse as it ever has. He might need to look into that because Joe Biden is going to ask him straight out, on stage, how this doesn’t happen again and he’d better have a real answer or Biden will brutalize and belittle him. Vague Trump fabulisims won’t cut it in November. Not for Americans that actually have an attention span that exceeds the common gnat.
