What&#x27;s the downside to Trump of demanding the &quot;liberation&quot; of swing states (particularly those with Democrat governers)?<p>Tweets are official orders, they&#x27;ve got the legal standing of a sneeze.<p>Suppose the governors go along with Trump. Two scenarios:<p>1. &quot;Liberating&quot; the states works. Not that many more people get sick, their economy gets better. Trump wins! He ordered them to do something, and it worked! Trump&#x27;s a Genius!<p>2. &quot;Liberating&quot; those states doesn&#x27;t work. Many people get sick, some extra deaths occur. Big deal, Trump just tweeted. He tweets what ever&#x27;s on his mind.<p>Suppose the governor&#x27;s don&#x27;t go along with Trump, they listen to epidemiologists.<p>Same two scenarios, in (1) Trump can just write off the tweet. It was hot garbage from his lie-hole. No biggie. In (2), Trump&#x27;s a genius! They should have listened to him.<p>This whole twitter thing should be illegal for the same reason that the USA has records laws and sunshine laws. It&#x27;s essentially corrupt influence.
