Echoing the French Napoleon Bonapartethe president of the United States, Donald TrumP, social networks appealed on Saturday to point out its continuous resistance to the limits of its executive authority to the multiple demands against him.
“Who saves his country does not violate any law”Trump said, a Republican, in his social truth network. The White House did not respond to a request for more details.
The phrase, attributed to the French military leader who created the Napoleonic Code of Civil Law in 1804 before declaring emperor, raised immediate criticism of the Democrats.
“Said as a true dictator,” Senator Adam Schiff wrote in X, from California, an old Trump adversary.
Trump, who took office on January 20, He has widely used his Executive Power and has faced judicial resources which seem to be resolved in the United States Supreme Court. Some demands accuse Trump to usurp the authority of the Congress established in the United States Constitution.
Although Trump has said that he complies with judicial sentences, his advisors have attacked judges on social networks and asked their dismissal. Vice President JD Vance wrote in X this week that judges “are not allowed to control the legitimate power of the Executive.”
Washington Norm Eisen’s lawyer, who like Schiff worked in the first of Trump’s two dismissal trials, said Trump’s lawyers have repeatedly tried to argue that if the president does, it is not illegal.
Napoleon’s saying, Eisen said, excuse illegal acts.
“This is a probe balloon and a provocation,” Eisen said about Trump’s message.
Trump, whose usa is always “Make America Great Again” (Let’s make the United States big again), he attributed his survival to an attempt to murder in July to the will of God.
“Many people have told me that God forgave my life for a reason, and that reason was to save our country and restore the greatness of the United States,” he said after his electoral victory.
