President Trump swiftly shut down CNN’s Kaitlan Collins during Monday’s coronavirus press briefing.

“Does any governor agree that you have the authority to decide when their state opens back up?” Collins asked.
“I haven’t asked anybody because — you know why? Because I don’t have to,” Trump replied.
“But who told you that the president has the total authority?” Collins asked the president as he moved along to another reporter’s question.
