CNN Anchor Accuses Trump Of Declaring Himself King of the World!'

"ABBY PHILLIP: Just 10 days into the new year, Donald Trump seems to be channeling his inner Leonardo DiCaprio and declaring himself the king of the world!. First, of course, the brazen raid and capture of Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela. And while the plan for the aftermath is vague at best, we do know he wants the oil."

"Second, he's threatened to do the same thing to other nations from Colombia to Cuba. And third, his declaration that he's considering military force to take over Greenland because as his advisor puts it, the U.S. Is entitled to own the NATO ally."

"And finally, if it's not clear yet, Trump says that the only thing limiting his powers on the world stage is, quote, his own morality. And to top it all off, he says the U S doesn't need international law. That is a whole lot of the Don-roe doctrine, as he would put it. Where does that leave us if the president doesn't think that he's accountable to anyone but himself?"

President Donald Trump has publicly escalated threats to use military force to seize control of foreign territories and their resources. He authorized or proposed a raid on Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela and signaled intentions to claim Venezuelan oil. He has threatened similar actions toward Colombia, Cuba, and Greenland, with advisors framing U.S. entitlement to ownership of the NATO territory. He stated that his own morality is the only limit to his actions and suggested the United States does not need international law. These statements raise questions about U.S. adherence to international norms and external accountability.
