No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities.

President Donald Trump reportedly told The New York Times that his "own morality" serves as the thing that could potentially limit his global powers -- adding that he doesn't "need international law."

As part of a wide-ranging interview with The New York Times published Thursday, Trump was asked Wednesday whether there were any limits to his global powers.

"Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me,” Trump reportedly said to The New York Times.

'I'm voting for a president, not a pastor.'

Fortunately, Trump has no filter and his followers love that he says just what he's thinking.

...he's feeling confident after his Venezuela adventure.

While President Trump received several phone calls during our interview, he answered just two: one from Colombia’s president and one from Bret Baier, the Fox News host.

“I’ve actually agreed to an interview with The New York Times,” he told Baier. “Can you believe it?” He told Baier that he would call him back later.

I mean that was just 90 days ago. They seem to be a glutton for punishment.

LOL, this is what his complaint is "Trump said in the lawsuit they “maliciously peddled the fact-free narrative” that television producer Mark Burnett turned Trump into a celebrity — “even though at and prior to the time of publications defendants knew that President Trump was already a mega-celebrity and an enormous success in business.”

I'm sure the NYT is shaking in their boots.

Not any more. Too much righteous approval for killing those two smugglers in the wreck of their boat. Too much righteous approval for the killing of that woman in Minneapolis. Two more in Portland tonight, I expect a thumbs up about that, too. The Christian Religion in this country has lost all moral credibility.

Yes. They might change weekly, daily, or who talked to him last, but they're there. At least for a miniscule amount of time. He makes a great MAGA Christian™

I guess if you feel comfortable trusting the morality of a convicted felon who has been proven guilty of fraud multiple times (among other things), that's your business.

Some of us aren't quite so comfortable with that.

-- A2SG, we'd also like a little more than a person's questionable morality to be an effective guardrail.....
