He’s trying to tell us something:
Donald Trump has been back in office for less than one month, and he, Elon Musk, and his senior administration officials have already plunged the nation into an ongoing constitutional crisis and openly performed various brazen acts of lawlessness and gleeful corruption, while threatening to “look at” judges who object to his onslaught against the U.S. Constitution and legal limits on his power.
On Saturday afternoon, during Presidents Day weekend, the twice-impeached president and convicted felon was, to his credit, honest about it: He believes he’s allowed to break any law he wants.
“He who saves his Country does not violate any Law,” Trump posted online — not just once, but twice. The president felt strongly enough about the sentiment (which several observers pointed out appeared to be based on an apparently fake quote from Napoleon) that he blasted it out on his own Truth Social site as well as his account on Musk’s platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
I guess this explains why they put his mugshot up in the White House:
The hosts of Fox & Friends Weekend drew parallels between Jesus Christ’s suffering on the cross and President Donald Trump’s decision to hang his mugshot outside the Oval Office on Saturday.
“It’s not the first time you’ve seen something that was supposed to humiliate him, he’s turned into a triumph,” co-host Rachel Campos Duffy said.
“I’m not making the comparison to Jesus,” she said before promptly making the comparison: “The cross was meant as a humiliation, and the cross was turned into a sign of triumph.”
“In the same way Donald Trump has said, ‘I’m not going to let you humiliate me, I’m gonna look in the camera and show my anger, and now I’m gonna hang it in the Oval Office where you tried to keep me out,‘” Campos Duffy added, driving home the analogy home.
