(Worthy News) – When asked what authority he had in mind when threatening to overrule governors on reopening houses of worship, President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he “can absolutely do it” if he wants to.

“I can absolutely do it if I want to, and I don’t think I’m gonna have to, because it’s starting to open up. We need our churches and our synagogue and our mosques. We want them open – churches, synagogues, mosques and others. We want them open, and we want them open as soon as possible,” Trump said during a White House Rose Garden press conference on protecting seniors with diabetes.

“I can tell you I know a lot of pastors, a lot of rabbis, imams. They want to take care of their people. They don’t want anyone getting hurt or sick, and they’re going to take care of their people. We need these people. We need people that are going to be leading us in faith, and we are opening it up and if I have to, I will override any governor that wants to play games,” he said.
