President Trump was interviewed by Time magazine:
TIME: One final question. Mr. President, you were showing us the new paintings you have behind us. You put all these new portraits. One of them includes John Adams. John Adams said we’re a government ruled by laws, not by men. Do you agree with that?
TRUMP: John Adams said that? Where was the painting?
TIME: It’s right here.
TRUMP: We’re a government ruled by laws, not by men? Well, I think we’re a government ruled by law, but you know, somebody has to administer the law. So therefore men, certainly, men and women, certainly play a role in it. I wouldn’t agree with it 100%.
We are a government where men are involved in the process of law, and ideally, you’re going to have honest men like me.
