Breitbart: Trump’s Napoleon Quote Baits the Left Into Yet Another Meltdown
Donald Trump's recent social media post quoting a line reminiscent of Napoleon has sparked outrage among critics who perceive it as evidence of his authoritarian ambitions. The quote, which suggests that a leader saving their country should not be seen as violating the law, has been interpreted as a reflection of Trump's view of himself as a populist leader against a corrupt elite.
Critics argue that Trump's statement reveals a dangerous mindset, while supporters see it as a playful nod to historical leadership. The reaction underscores a broader political struggle over the legitimacy of Trump's presidency and the fear among his opponents that he represents a challenge to the established political order.

The legislation imposes severe penalties for fleeing police, potentially leading to life imprisonment in cases of death. Supporters argue it holds individuals accountable for endangering communities, while opponents draw historical parallels to the Fugitive Slave Act.
