Donald Trump has said that he does not “need international law” and that his power is limited only by his “own morality”.

In a new interview with the New York Times, Trump said the only constraint to his power as president of the US is “my own morality, my own mind”.

“It’s the only thing that can stop me,” Trump said, adding: “I’m not looking to hurt people.” He went on to concede “I do” in regards to whether his administration needed to adhere to international law, but said: “It depends on what your definition of international law is.”

    He is a narcicist with launch codes.

    I’m sure he would rather destroy the world than look bad and lose power.

    So, his own morality can stop him, but he lives on the morals of corruption and “gains” over another… Here’s an idea, let’s poke that morality of his by making him lose personal assets, see if that shifts his opinion.

    Also, “I am not looking to hurt people” sounds like a bully grabbing your hand and slapping your face with it, proclaiming “Why are you hurting yourself?” But him saying this clearly points towards having thoughts of wanting to hurt people…

    Trump has said out loud he believes he’s going to hell. Why would anyone allow him to make this claim? I don’t understand my reality, it’s fucking insane.
