The moment the president declares a “national emergency”—a decision that is entirely within his discretion—he is able to set aside many of the legal limits on his authority.
Like all emergency powers, the laws governing the conduct of war allow the president to engage in conduct that would be illegal during ordinary times.
The president could seize control of U.S. internet traffic, impeding access to certain websites and ensuring that internet searches return pro-Trump content as the top results.
Americans might be surprised to learn just how readily the president can deploy troops inside the United States.

Yep, he could rig google results as part of a national emergency...
Basically this allows him to send fema and aid out to areas in need of assistance, not much more. Get a grip.
Trump has announced a press conference at 3 p.m. and it is anticipated that he will declare a national emergency as concerns over the outbreak wreak havoc and continue to disrupt daily American life.
The announcement comes as major sporting and other events have been called off or postponed, businesses across the country institute telework policies, government buildings and schools shutter and other disruptions rock the nation, amid efforts to curb the transmission of the virus.
How does this work?
The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act allows the White House to mobilize the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and direct federal aid to states hit by disasters and health crises.
According to Bloomberg News, Senate Democrats urged Trump to invoke the Stafford Act and other requests that they say would free up more than $42 billion in funding for states available in the Disaster Relief Fund.
And what does this mean?
Such a declaration would allow a state to request a 75 percent cost-share for expenses such as emergency workers, testing, medical supplies and vaccinations, Democrats said in a letter sent to the president.
They take advantage of you when you act based on fear. The guns and ammo manufacturers used you based on your "Obama Fear". They do it to you every time a Democrat gets elected by scaring you into thinking they'll take your guns. Yet no Democratic president has ever tried to.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.
Well Trump has been kissing the flag and telling the flag he loves it so you better catch up. Unless you think talking to inanimate objects is weird like the rest of us do.

You cried and hated his Fourth of July show. You cry and hate his love of country and hugging of our flag that so many have sacrificed to protect.

Ironically, as this thread was progressing, I was asked over to a friends house to shoot.
From .22 cal rifles, even a scary AR looking .22, to 9 mm, 40 mm hand guns, to .308 AR style, .243, .223, 45-70, and some others.
Why? Not because we are scared of some zombie apocalypse, or afraid of looting or what not due to covid 19. Rather, because it was a nice day. All legal, and shooting with a 6' high back stop, with nothing for almost a mile behind that.
We darn near filled a 5 gallon bucket with casings. Fun time.
Couple of the guys have laser sights on their weapons.....dang.
