Michael D'Antonio, a CNN contributor who penned the book “The Truth About Trump,' offered his insights into the president's background in evading procedure and protocol.
President Donald Trump thinks he’s “above the law” because he was raised to believe in “genetic superiority,” a Trump biographer told CNN's Don Lemon Wednesday evening.
He added: “Why would he respect the separation of powers, checks and balances, any system that’s inconvenient for him.” He added: “That’s just a partial list of the world leaders whom he perversely admires. He has praised and cosied up to the leader of North Korea, leader of the Philippines, leader of Saudi Arabia, people who have terrible, terrible human rights records. But whatever they have in common, they have the ability to decree adulation, to subvert the Democratic process and to utterly crush descent. And he envies that because in his perfect world, that’s what he’d have here in America.
"It appears that the Committee's inquiry is designed, not to further a legitimate legislative purpose, but rather to conduct a pseudo law enforcement investigation on matters that were already the subject of the Special Counsel's long-running investigation and are outside the constitutional authority of the legislative branch," Cipollone wrote in a letter.
