"He who saves his Country does not violate any Law": Trump denies his actions are unconstitutional

One day we will wake to his obituary :-)

The president pushed back against claims that his power grabs are blatantly unconstitutional in a short post​



President Donald Trump shared his own, oddly capitalized spin on "l'etat, c'est moi" on Saturday, claiming that his recent actions should fall outside discussions of constitutionality.

After several weeks of grabbing power for the executive branch, undermining Congress and bullying the press, Trump shared that he should be above the law if the ends justify his means.

"He who saves his Country does not violate any Law," Trump wrote on Truth Social after his early executive orders and budget-slashing work with Elon Musk's questionably legal Department of Government Efficiency were called into court by a host of lawsuits.

Trump may be right. The Supreme Court granted the office of the president broad immunity in Trump v. United States, writing that “the President may not be prosecuted for exercising his core constitutional powers, and he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for his official acts.”
