David E. SangerTyler PagerKatie Rogers and Zolan Kanno-Youngs , The New York Times; Trump Lays Out a Vision of Power Restrained Only by ‘My Own Morality’
[Kip Currier: Trump's statement below is contrary to the very founding ideals and precepts of the United States of America. Indeed, this nation is the manifestation of revolutionary action against unaccountable one-person rule.
For Trump to unabashedly declare that "the only thing that can stop me" is "my own morality" and "my own mind" is Shakespearean in its arrogance and grandiosity.
It is hubris immortalized in Greek tragedy.]
[Excerpt]
"Asked in a wide-ranging interview with The New York Times if there were any limits on his global powers, Mr. Trump said: “Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.”
“I don’t need international law,” he added. “I’m not looking to hurt people.”"
