The businessman posted a screengrab of a tweet from X, formerly known as Twitter, by conservative writer Logan Hall, who shared a quote and a photo of Bonaparte which read, "He who saves his Country does not violate any Law." The day before, Trump penned his version of the statement on numerous social media platforms.
The line is reportedly from the 1970 film Waterloo, where the statesman says the remark to justify his absolute rule.

The telling updates come as The Apprentice star continues to ignore federal courts blocking his executive orders on birthright citizenship, government funding and laying off federal workers.
Many politicians have spoken out about Trump seemingly claiming he can defy legal boundaries. "Spoken like a true dictator," Democratic Senator Adam Schiff penned alongside the repost of the right-wing leader's message on X.

"Donald Trump seems to believe he can do whatever he wishes in the name of 'saving the country,'" Democratic Representative Ritchie Torres wrote on social media.

"If a judge tried to tell a general how to conduct a military operation, that would be illegal. If a judge tried to command the attorney general in how to use her discretion as a prosecutor, that's also illegal. Judges aren't allowed to control the executive's legitimate power," the second-in-command added.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt slammed the speculation about Trump being a tyrant and accused leftists of "fear mongering."
"This is part of a larger concerted effort by Democrat activists and nothing more than a continuation of the weaponization of justice against President Trump," she told reporters during a press briefing.
"We will comply with the law in the courts, but we will also continue to seek every legal remedy to ultimately overturn these radical injunctions and ensure President Trump's policies can be enacted," the political aide emphasized.
