President Trump declared that his power as commander in chief is constrained only by his “own morality,” brushing aside international law and other checks on his ability to use military might to strike, invade or coerce nations around the world, the New York Times reports.
When asked if there was anything to limit him, Trump said: “Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.”
He added: “I don’t need international law. I’m not looking to hurt people.”
