Trump Lays Out a Vision of Power Restrained Only by ‘My Own Morality’

cross-posted from: https://slrpnk.net/post/32555638

On topic after topic, President Trump made clear that he would be the arbiter of any limits to his authorities, not international law or treaties.

Its not like the American Revolution and Constitution are total rejections of this view or anything.

Unsurprising coming from someone who was quoted saying this on his Venezuela actions:

Remember when the bootlickers were responding, "We don't have kings in this country, we have a President."? Biggest fucking whoosh of the century so far. I'm convinced they sincerely missed the point, like they were reveling in correcting the semantics. Fucking idiots.

When asked why he needed to possess the territory, he said: “Because that’s what I feel is psychologically needed for success. I think that ownership gives you a thing that you can’t do, whether you’re talking about a lease or a treaty. Ownership gives you things and elements that you can’t get from just signing a document.”

Why does that sound actually coherent?

"If it weren’t for me, Russia would have all of Ukraine right now.”

NYT Followed that quote up directly with a photo of a Ukranian soldier in action. gg
