Is this another example of Trump asserting that he has powers that he doesn't?

Asked by elbanditoroso (33146points) May 25th, 2020

Today he threatened to move the Republican Convention from Charlotte, North Carolina to <somewhere, not specified>. His excuse is that the NC Governor (a democrat) can’t promise that the state will be open and safe by then.

Here’s an article

How will Trump get around the following?

1) the RNC has hotel and convention center contracts that legally bind them to Charlotte. Who will end up eating the cancellation fees?

2) Can Trump convince 50,000 Republicans to travel to NC or anywhere else (and sit shoulder-to-shoulder in an arena)?

3) What alternate city (a) has the ability to host a 50,000-person convention with lead time of three months? and (b) what other city wants to take on the risk of having all these potential visitors descend on that city?

Is this Trump blowhardedness again? Or is he serious?
