Trump says "there are no limits" to his power in a shocking new interview

Sitting in the White House after a long night of travel from the G7 summit, a visibly worn-down President of the United States was asked a simple question: what had he learned about the limits of his power? His answer came immediately. “There are no limits.” When the reporter looked surprised, Trump went on: “No, none. I haven’t learned that lesson yet. I know there are, but you know, there are no limits.” And that contradiction, certainty followed instantly by reversal, ran through the entire interview. He called his Iran deal “unconditional surrender,” then admitted he signed it because “we wouldn’t have oil for months” and warned the war “could cause a worldwide depression.” That is not a leader negotiating from strength. That is a man describing what forced his hand. He started a war he could not sustain, nearly broke the global oil markets, and signed whatever he could get to stop the bleeding.

And his own party knows it. Senator Bill Cassidy called the deal “the worst foreign policy blunder in decades.” The chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee said it “negotiates away the victories” of the war and pointed to a $300 billion reconstruction fund for Iran. The Senate Majority Leader admitted Republican leaders weren’t even shown the agreement before Trump signed it, and had to learn what was in it from reporters. Even the MAGA base is fracturing, with headlines describing a “stunned” movement turning on Trump as a “warmonger.” But the most important thing he said was “there are no limits,” because it is a warning. A president who sees no limits is a president who will not stop on his own. He will not be checked by Congress or the courts unless they force him. And right now, his own party is criticizing without acting, expressing worry without crossing the man who controls their primaries.

But there is something worth holding onto, and you can see it every time a World Cup match and its host cities come on TV. Past all the corruption of that world, the fans remind us what is still possible. Americans, and people from Scotland, Mexico, and all over the world, in the streets together, celebrating, laughing, finding common ground with strangers they may never have met. Before we are citizens of any country or members of any party, we are human beings sharing the same planet. In a world where powerful people profit from keeping us angry and afraid of one another, that is the thing they cannot take. The United States is more than Trump, and the world knows it. The loyalists on the wrong side of history are the few, not the many. And the question is only whether we are willing to spread that humanity as intentionally as they spread the fear.
