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.
