Perhaps suffering from a guilty conscience as a result of the unconscionable evil he plans to unleash on the United States, Felon-in-Chief Donald Trump is now openly declaring that he can “violate” any law he wants as long as he manages to “save” the country in the process.
In a short posting he made this afternoon on social media, the twice-impeached criminal who currently serves as American head of state told the world, “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law.”
What Trump neglected to add is that he stole the line from one of the worst dictators in world history, Napoleon Bonaparte. And considering the fate that befell Napoleon, he might not be the ideal choice of a leader to emulate.
How terrible was the reign of Napoleon? Consider this fact: It’s estimated that anywhere between 3 and 6.5 million people died under his rule, including 1.3 million residents of France.
Napoleon was also a megalomaniac dictator who ended freedom of the press and freedom of association. Oh, and he also destroyed nearly all of the government reforms that had been won by the French people after the revolution that overthrew King Louis XVI.
And we have Donald Trump invoking the memory of a dictator as he begins his own tyrannical rule of the United States with mass deportations, legal attacks on the LBGTQ community, and attempting to impose religious fundamentalism on the populace at a time when many Americans are growing sick and tired of the bigotry and intolerance Christian extremism is preaching from the pulpit and hoping to make the law of the land.
Trump was also hit with plenty of backlash on social media, where people reminded him that he is and will always be a criminal, no matter what he tries to make us believe.
