Actually I looked at the article in the NY Times and there's no actual question/answer verbatim quotation of what was actually asked and what the answers were in real time.
It's all highly edited and contoured to fit the NY Times's own agenda (same as yours---Leftie/Loonie).
The actual questions (which aren't included in the Times article--strange, isn't it?--just "paraphrases")--involved asking Trump whether he felt his authority as President of the United States was bound by international law. He said he followed international law but didn't need to follow it--he followed his own notion of morality.
In other words, what Trump was actually saying was that he doesn't need international law to know the difference between right and wrong.
Which makes perfect sense.
Do any of us look to international law before deciding what is right and wrong?
No, we look to domestic legal sources, and to our own personal notions of ethics and morality.
That's why you have all the Leftie/Loonies defending the Left's resistance/riots against ICE.
The lefties actually don't believe in the authority of any law, or law enforcement of those laws, if they happen to disagree with it.
Not sure why you think you can look down on Trump for basically agreeing with your own moral and ethical position.
You ignore those laws which you believe are wrong or unjust. And you put a nice shiny mental halo over your heads for doing so.
Even if the people you encourage to "resist" wind up dead.
