This reflects an ongoing question on my part. Is Trump lying, or is he living in an alternate reality where he is right? Does he really believe he has some sort of reasonable legal argument?
I believe that he really believes that he, as the ultimate authority in the land, should have the final say. If his assessment is that national security is paramount, then nobody should be able to question him. The concept of a "reasonable legal argument" doesn't exist for him because that would imply that he is subservient to the law. He has shown time & time again that he doesn't recognize the law, whether it's his attitude towards torture, or deployment of forces, or a myriad of other things.
