It’s also alarmingly honest for him. He’s right. Looking at the arc of our nation, we were eventually going to have to deal with “honest men like him”.
How much do we wanna bet that the John Adams portrait gets taken off the wall?
Also, I hope Time releases the audio of the interview because I can guarantee that Trump‘s actual quote was not as coherent as what they edited to be sentences. We’ve seen this all the time done by the media.
"Here's why April 25th is the perfect date."
"U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uhmmm, some people out there in our nation don't have maps... everywhere like such as."
I'd have gone with "For what is the Heart, but a Spring; and the Nerves, but so many Strings; and the Joynts, but so many Wheeles, giving motion to the whole Body, such as was intended by the Artificer?"
To be fair, the beer belongs to my Cousin, Samuel. He brewed Ale and discontent with British rule. I brewed Constitutions, Republics, and the occasional argument too strong for Delicate palates. Between us, we kept both the Taverns and the Courthouses Lively.
Given his perilous Grasp of History, I suspect he is equally Unaware my Cousin Samuel organized the Brewing of a Revolution in Boston Harbor, one he would no doubt have tried to Brand with his own Name and peddle on Souvenir Mugs!
Tbf, he’s a narcissist, so he believe’s he shouldn’t be subject to the law & he has good reason to believe he isn’t since he’s faced virtually no consequences for his many unlawful actions throughout his life & presidency.
having taught HS and college US history, and hating to defend Trump in any way, I nevertheless feel obliged to say that the expression is paradoxical and intended to be paradoxical
Trump's answer in and of itself isn't horribly malicious
(other answers do show his attraction to arbitrary rule)
Or a 5 year old even. He’s really damaged. We should all be in the streets that we have a president whose intellect was always a fable but now is declining hastily…and taking us with him.
I am used to being Forgotten by history’s Flatterers. It is no great Injury. But forget that Laws must rule over Men, their Ambition, their Rage, their Greed, and the Republic is already lost. If you forget my name, so be it. But forget this, and you Forfeit your Liberty.

"Where?"
"BEHIND YOU!"

Doesn't understand the quotation.
And he's not curious or interested in learning more.
He ends his statement, as usual, with 'me.'
