That is not what the Constitution says.
Trump gave an hour-long speech Tuesday to Turning Point USA, an organization of conservative teens who support Trump, in which he revived some of his favorite talking points and even offered a few new ones.
He relived his 2016 electoral victory, he repeated his smears on the four Democratic members of Congress he's been attacking for more than a week, and he claimed the Constitution allows him the power to do whatever he wants.
"Then I have an Article II, where I have the right to do whatever I want as president," he claimed to the crowd of MAGA-capped fans. "But I don't even talk about that."
It should go without saying that no part of the Constitution grants the president of the United States the right to do whatever he wants. Article II does, however, state that the president "shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."
