Washington, May 27 (RHC)-- Donald Trump is threatening to move August’s Republican convention from Charlotte, North Carolina, if the state’s Democratic Governor Roy Cooper doesn’t guarantee he can have a packed arena. 

On Monday, Trump accused Cooper of being “still in Shutdown mood.”  The Twitter attack came just two days after North Carolina registered its largest daily increase in coronavirus cases.

On Friday, Trump said all houses of worship are essential, and threatened to override governors who refused to lift restrictions on them if restrictions weren’t lifted by the weekend.

President Donald Trump: “Some governors have deemed liquor stores and abortion clinics as essential but have left out churches and other houses of worship. It’s not right.  So I’m correcting this injustice and calling houses of worship essential.”

Trump, however, does not have the authority to override state orders on places of worship.
