“He who saves his Country does not violate any law,” Trump posted over the weekend. The post Trump’s Napoleon Quote Baits the Left Into Yet Another Meltdown appeared first on Breitbart.
Trump invoked a quote from the 1970 film *Waterloo*, where Napoleon suggests his leadership was necessary to preserve France, positioning himself as a legitimate, populist leader against the elite. Critics, including Democrats like Adam Schiff, condemned the quote, branding Trump as authoritarian. Supporters viewed it as a nod to Napoleon's return from exile and popular resurgence. The article contrasts Napoleon's centralized rule with Trump's decentralized approach, referencing philosophical perspectives that view Napoleon as a historical force. It concludes that Trump's use of the quote highlights his defiance of the political establishment, rather than authoritarian tendencies.
