Summary
Donald Trump sparked backlash after quoting Napoleon on social media: “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law.”
Critics saw this as a justification for authoritarianism, comparing it to fascist rhetoric. Some mocked Trump’s legal troubles, while others suggested it signaled dictatorial ambitions.
His administration’s recent executive orders and efforts to bypass congressional approval have already raised legal concerns.
JD Vance’s claim that judges “aren’t allowed to control” the executive has further fueled fears of a constitutional crisis.
At least he’s quoting Napoleon and not Hitler. Progress? No? ok, fuck Trump.
Hitler was a big Napolean fan. He visited his tomb after he conquered France.
Not Hitler directly, but this is the same quote that Norwegian far right terrorist Breivik included in his manifesto before killing 77 people. Hitler was also a big fan of Napoleon. Similar flies buzzing around the same shit.
I was reading that Wikipedia article earlier today and it said that when that terrorist was in prison he became a fan of Donald Trump and also publicly a nazi. So quite the trio there…
He probably does not know the difference.
Does Hitler have any memorable quotes though?
“Do these knickers make mein ass look big…?”
