President Donald Trump on Monday claimed that he reserved the right to pardon himself should he ever be found guilty of any wrongdoing.
“As has been stated by numerous legal scholars, I have the absolute right to PARDON myself, but why would I do that when I have done nothing wrong?” the president asked. “In the meantime, the never ending Witch Hunt, led by 13 very Angry and Conflicted Democrats (& others) continues into the mid-terms!”

Trump could defraud students at his online “university” and not be prosecuted.

or anyone who agrees with our founding Fathers - Trumptards not so much. Trump supporters believe Trump is above the law and are fine with it.

He's 100 percent right.
The judicial branch does not have sovereignty over the executive branch.

Trump goes own a rampage and starts mass arresting and executing members of the main stream media. Republican Congress looks the other way. Trump Pardons himself. No problem.

The greatest power the judicial branch holds over the other branches is judicial review. Judicial review is the power of the federal courts to review legislation passed by the Congress and determine its constitutionality. If the court determines a law is unconstitutional, it is struck down.
This power was not specified in the constitution, but rather established by the precedence of Marbury v. Madison in 1803. There is no judicial check of the other branches of government in the constitution. Article III of the constitution establishes the power of the judicial branch. Section 2 of that article defines the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court

If he is above those laws then why is he bound by any laws? Why does he even need to respect congresses laws with respect to anything. For that matter Supreme Court rulings as well.

I think the next Democrat we should declare king. This is great news. This pussy doesn't have what it takes to remain in power as a dictator. The next Democratic king can reappoint Obama as King.

I really do not think Trump supporters would agree this is what the Founding Fathers had in mind.

Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution states as follows:
The President…shall have the power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment.
