Overview
President Donald Trump has drawn sharp criticism after quoting Napoleon Bonaparte in a recent social media post, stating, "He who saves his country does not violate any law." Critics argue this assertion reflects a concerning disregard for legal limits on presidential power amidst ongoing legal challenges to his administration’s actions. Trump's remarks follow the dismissal of immigration judges and accusations of attempting to usurp congressional authority through executive orders, leading many to label his conduct as dictatorial. As the administration faces multiple lawsuits, responses range from labeling his behavior as an assault on constitutional norms to opinions downplaying the seriousness of his claims.
