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
Following a recent attack on Venezuela, the president says the only person who can stop him is himself

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.”
