“Only thing that can stop me”: Trump says the only check on his power is his “own mind”
The only reason tRump believes this and what makes it true is the republicans in charge of congress refuse to stand up against his illegal actions. They are either scared of tRump’s goons / gang thugs, or they are compromised with something tRump / Russia has over them, or they have been bought and paid for by Russia. No matter what they refuse to act against what tRump administration is doing and the democrats can’t because they are not in charge of congress right now. However if the democrats get at least the house then they can challenge tRump in court and force him to act with in the laws of the nation.
And all the things the republicans are quiet on now because it is trump doing them, watch how fast they get their voices back and how loud they screech when a democrat becomes president. If a Democratic Party president tried to with hold money, declare a way without congress approval, or demanded private companies, universities, or media enforce liberal polices watch the republicans suddenly wake up and lose their minds and shit their pants. Fox entertainment would be running a non-stop screaming host on every show about how horrible and evil it was. Hugs
President Donald Trump speaks with reporters before boarding Air Force One on Nov. 16, 2025.
President Donald Trump has every reason to believe he’ll never be called to account for his actions.
He managed to skate on several impeachments and a host of felony convictions. He was allowed to return to office despite his part in an attempt to halt the peaceful transfer of power to his successor. The Supreme Court, a constitutionally enshrined backstop on his power, opted to give him blanket immunity for any number of crimes.
Still, it’s shocking to hear the president openly admit that no one in the government could stop him. And that’s exactly what he did in an interview with the New York Times that was shared on Thursday.
Pressed about the checks on his presidential power following a shocking raid on that ended in the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, Trump said he’s constrained by nothing but his own sense of right and wrong.
“There is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me,” he said.
Trump also said that he didn’t “need international law” because he’s “not looking to hurt people.”
The outlet asked Trump to consider the precedent he was setting via his arrest of Maduro. They wondered if China might see a justification to take similar actions against Taiwanese leadership.
“This was a real threat,” he said of Venezuela. “You didn’t have drugs pouring into China. You didn’t have all of the bad things that we’ve had. You didn’t have the jails of Taiwan opened up and the people pouring into China.”

He does make it up as he goes along. That’s the scary part. We shoot the good presidents, and revere the bad ones. Canada is looking better and better–no, wait, that will soon be our bigly state to the north. Never mind.
Hi Judy. I agree and while I think you were joking about the northern 51st state, never worry, unless the US military will to do an active war with Canada it won’t happen. The saddest thing is the longest unsecured border was the one between the US and Canada. We even have towns on the border with parts in each country that were never bothered or concerned with border issues. But Canada has decided to now monitor that long border and the US has actually gone into a library in Maine and set up blocks from people to cross over the border and use each side of the of the library. Why? I guess the US is so fratgile that we need to to prevent library patrons from using both sides of a library that is on a really imaginary line. Hugs
