I don’t know if he has the Constitutional authority

Wrong question.
Right question is, does any governor/mayor have the constitutional authority to deny the freedom of religion, close churches, arrest peope, jail them and fine them just for going to church, exactly like Lenin and Stalin did? Nope.
What de Blasio, Cuomo, Whitmer, Murphy, Wolf, Garcetti, et al are doing is not only unconstitutional, they should be hauled off in chains for that.
The Justice Department has already started bringing lawsuits against some of these tyrants. There will be more.

Exactly.

If there is a controlling legal authority, it's the Supreme Court that incorporated the 1st amendment to the states.

President Trump can rightly say that it's the Supreme Court that says the governors can't take away the peoples' right to gather to worship, not the President. As President, he will see that the Supreme Court's ruling on incorporation is enforced at the state level.

First shot across the bow that it's time to wrap up the nazi governor show. It's gone on far enough.

Some of the governors are just too full of hubris to even consider heeding PDJT’s declaration.

It’s about to get real. The S is about to HTF.
