In response to discussions about whether he violated American laws, U.S. President Donald Trump cited the saying attributed to Napoleon, "The person who saves his country does not violate any prohibitions."
SHARED NAPOLEON'S QUOTE
President Trump responded to a current debate in the American public regarding the limits of executive power with a post on the social media platform Truth Social. Trump shared the quote, "The person who saves his country does not violate any prohibitions," attributed to the famous French commander Napoleon Bonaparte.
IMPLIED HE "SAVED AMERICA"
Using the quote associated with the "Napoleonic Laws" he enacted before declaring himself emperor in 1804, Trump implied that he has "saved America" and that his actions in this process did not "violate the laws."
THERE ARE BOTH SUPPORTERS AND CRITICS
While many people left supportive messages under the quote shared on Trump's X account, more liberal factions, including some Democratic Congress members, reacted to Trump by arguing that the quote carries a "dictatorial" connotation.
"TRUMP IS PUSHING THE LIMITS OF EXECUTIVE POWER"
