Trump Suggests Laws Don’t Apply To Him If He “Saves The Country”
President Donald Trump has unveiled his unique interpretation of democracy, suggesting that if he’s “saving the country,” he is above the law. Yes, you heard that right—Trump just went full Napoleon, and not the cool, croissant-loving kind.
The Emperor Has No Laws (or Clothes, We Assume)
Trump posted a rather eyebrow-raising statement recently, quoting (or maybe misquoting, because reading is hard) Napoleon Bonaparte:
“If the laws are to prevent the salvation of the country, it is evident that the laws must be disregarded.”
Translation: “If I think I’m helping, then rules don’t apply to me. Also, I definitely read books, okay?”
Legal scholars and anyone with a basic understanding of the Constitution collectively spit out their coffee in sheer disbelief, as their legal degrees spontaneously combusted. Because in America, we tend to frown upon leaders declaring themselves above the law—something about checks and balances, three branches of government, and not letting one guy declare himself king.
But What Is Trump Saving Us From?
Let’s break down what exactly Trump is protecting America from with his newfound divine authority:
- Election Results He Doesn’t Like – If democracy disagrees with him, it must be broken.
- Criminal Investigations – Because nothing says “innocent” like trying to rewrite the legal system in your favor.
- Windmills That Kill Birds – A top national security threat, obviously.
- The Deep State, aka People Who Read the Constitution – Big fans of laws, so naturally, they must be stopped.
- Low Ratings on Truth Social – If a former president posts in an empty platform, does it make a sound?
A Constitutional Crisis? More Like a Constitutional Comedy Show
Legal experts are warning that this is a serious red flag for authoritarian tendencies. But honestly, haven’t we been waving that red flag for years now? It’s less of a warning sign and more of a full-blown parade float at this point.
- Step 1: Discredit the legal system.
- Step 2: Claim immunity because you’re a hero.
- Step 3: Profit?
This strategy has worked for other great leaders in history—like, oh, every dictator ever. But who needs democracy when we have a billionaire real estate mogul who can’t even keep a casino afloat?
What’s Next?
Will Trump declare himself Emperor of America? Will the Constitution be replaced with tweets written in all caps? Will the Supreme Court start issuing rulings via Truth Social memes? Only time will tell.
One thing is clear: If Napoleon had Twitter, he’d probably sue for defamation—though even he might struggle to keep up with Trump’s growing docket of legal battles.
