What Trump said when asked if there are any limits on his global powers:

We used to have a Constitution, Congress, and the law. Now the limits of Trump’s power are self-determined. This is why we called our rallies ‘No Kings’.

and I thought for once I might agree with Trump.

But then I read it again and it said "my own mortality" which is a non-sequitur.

If the BUSHes and RAYGUN never "got" the concept of actually effective alternative to "Wars on Drugs" - which is (what the drug sellers have always said, "Supply/demand, if you didn't ask for them we wouldn't sent them" ) spending on social services, rehab, community revival - certainly KRASNOV wouldn't get the concept or have any interest in it.

Donald Trump Says 'My Own Morality' Is 'the Only Thing That Can Stop Me' from World Dominance: 'I Don't Need International Law'
The president doubled down on his plans to take military action in Latin America, annex Greenland and more in a revealing new interview

.... To The New York Times, he insisted that it wasn't enough to have the country (Greenland) controlled by an ally — he wants exclusive, outright ownership.

“Because that’s what I feel is psychologically needed for success. I think that ownership gives you a thing that you can’t do with, you’re talking about a lease or a treaty. Ownership gives you things and elements that you can’t get from just signing a document," Trump said. ....

Trump also has his sights set on Colombia, Cuba, Iran and Mexico. ....

Referring to Colombian President Gustavo Petro, Trump said his country is being "run by a sick man who likes making cocaine and selling it to the United States, and he’s not going to be doing it very long." ....
