Trump posts quote attributed to Napoleon on social media: 'He who saves his country violates no law'

President Donald Trump posted a quote that has been attributed to emperor Napoleon Bonaparte on social media Saturday.

"He who saves his country violates no law," Trump wrote, without elaborating on what he was referring to with the post.

Trump's post comes amid some rulings from a federal judge limiting the authority of the new Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk, to access payment systems in the Treasury Department.

DOGE is currently able to access the payment records at the departments of Labor and of Health and Human Services

It also comes amid Trump's interest in acquiring Greenland and making Canada the 51st state of the U.S.

According to a University of Washington history page, Bonaparte "acquired control of most of continental Europe by conquest."
