What controversial statement did Donald Trump make that sparked accusations of authoritarianism?

Trump posted a quote on social media stating, 'He who saves his country does not violate any law,' which is a phrase often attributed to Napoleon Bonaparte, the French general who declared himself emperor and ruled with an iron grip. The White House's official X account reinforced this message by sharing it alongside Trump's presidential portrait. This remark has reignited fears among Democrats and political experts who view it as evidence of Trump's authoritarian tendencies and questionable interpretation of presidential power and the Constitution. The opposition has characterized his statement as 'outright authoritarian,' raising concerns about Trump's view of executive authority.
