President Donald Trump, echoing Napoleon Bonaparte, expressed his resistance to limits on his executive authority through a post on his Truth Social network. Trump quoted Napoleon by saying, “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law.” Democrats, including Senator Adam Schiff, criticized the statement, calling it dictatorial.
Since taking office in January, Trump has faced legal challenges regarding his broad assertions of executive power. Some lawsuits accuse him of usurping Congress’ authority as outlined in the U.S. Constitution. While Trump claims to abide by court rulings, his advisers have criticized judges on social media and called for their impeachment. Washington lawyer Norm Eisen, who worked on Trump’s impeachment trials, argued that Trump’s lawyers believe his actions are legal just because he does them.
Eisen called Trump’s message a trial balloon and a provocation. Trump also attributed surviving an assassination attempt in July to God’s will, suggesting that he was spared to save the country and restore it to greatness. Overall, Trump’s statements and actions regarding executive power have drawn criticism and legal challenges, with potential showdowns in the U.S. Supreme Court looming.
