This meme is explicitly about the President committing crimes and getting away with it. I don't think this is something you want, whether the President's a Democrat or a Republican.

Sometimes the law is on the opposite side of justice. When the law is unjust and oppressive, the just break the law. That's how you get civil rights that the current laws don't allow.

I'm not kidding myself that the authoritarian pro-cop Senator from MBNA would break any of the unjust and oppressive laws, though. Those are some of his favorites, and he's the main culprit behind many of them.

While true in general, I can't think of any unjust laws that bind the President. In fact, Trump has shown that there's not enough laws that rein in the President. Stuff like the Presidential Records Act not actually having any penalties or enforcement mechanisms (besides impeachment) are really giant oversights.
