Trump on power: I don't need international law, only my mind can stop me.

According to ТСН: Donald Trump openly expressed his vision of power, stating that national strength is more significant than laws or international agreements. In an interview with four journalists in the White House, he emphasized the end of the era of traditional diplomacy.

"I don’t need international law"

When asked by journalists about possible limitations on his global power, Trump replied:

"Yes, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. That is the only thing that can stop me."

He noted that he "does not need international law" because "he is not going to harm people." In response to a question about his administration's adherence to international norms, he said: "It depends on what your definition of international law is.".

Greenland as a 'psychological success'

Trump confirmed his intentions regarding the purchase of Greenland, even if it threatens NATO. His motivation turned out to be not only strategic but also personal. He explained:

"Because that’s what I feel is psychologically necessary for success. I think ownership gives you things that you cannot do [otherwise – ed.]. Ownership gives you things and elements that you cannot get just by signing a document."

Venezuela and the ballroom

The interview vividly highlighted Trump's priorities. When journalists asked about the possibility of elections in Venezuela, the president paused the question when a model of the White House ballroom renovation was brought into the office.

"I am a big fan of democracy, but let me show you this before I speak about democracy," Trump said, enthusiastically demonstrating the renovation plans and the new marble floor, presenting himself as an "ambitious builder.".

“Children” in government and a call from Petro

Trump acted as the host of the show, calling his vice president and secretary of state “children.” Journalists noted that both politicians were wearing shoes that Trump had given them.

To demonstrate his status as a world leader, Trump received a call from Colombian President Gustavo Petro and spoke with him for almost an hour, right during the interview, in the presence of the press. After the conversation, he noted:

"Do you think Biden could do this?"

Trump also mentioned that he "saved" NATO, emphasizing his important role in preserving the Alliance.

These statements by Trump reflect his unusual approach to international relations and domestic politics. The president aims to show that his administration operates by its own rules, disregarding traditional diplomatic norms. This could have serious implications for international relations and global stability, as such statements raise concerns among U.S. allies and partners. Current events demonstrate how crucial it is to monitor the U.S. position on the world stage under new conditions.
