"Violates the law?" Hahahahaaaaa.... but the demented idiot has been violating the law for the past two decades, and the "superior" US justice system lets him get away with it: Numerous instances of breaking the law, violating the constitution, mounting a sedition against the government, cheating on his taxes, serving as an agent of the Russian enemy, violating basic "due process" laws, flouting Congress's constitutional rights by wanton and arbitrary executive orders, backing Israel's multiple violations of human rights, international law and the laws of warfare.... The man is a free-walking criminal felon.
What "coherent explanation" does the New York Times expect from Trump?
"Coherent"? From a narcissistic madman who is turning senile and dangerous before our eyes?
"Explanation"? From a man who can't articulate an idea or put an English language sentence together without resorting to vulgar chopped up grunts and groans?
We didn't need Venezuela to remind us down which path this "administration" is taking the country. Expect many more instances of the senile demented criminal breaking the laws before it's all said and done.

NY Times Editorial Board Scorches Trump’s ‘Illegal and Unwise’ Attack On Venezuela: ‘Mr. Trump’s Warmongering Violates the Law’

The New York Times editorial board ripped President Donald Trump’s decision to launch what he has termed a “large scale strike” on Venezuela — leading to the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
In a scathing op-ed published Saturday morning, the Gray Lady’s editorial board slammed the president for launching the strike without a green light from Congress.
“Mr. Trump has not yet offered a coherent explanation for his actions in Venezuela,” the editorial board wrote. “He is pushing our country toward an international crisis without valid reasons. If Mr. Trump wants to argue otherwise, the Constitution spells out what he must do: Go to Congress. Without congressional approval, his actions violate U.S. law.”
The editorial board went on to trash what it termed the administration’s “nominal rationale” for the strike — the notion they are taking out “narco-terrorists” — calling it a “particularly ludicrous” claim. Instead, it cites Trump’s recently published national security strategy — a document in which the Times board says Trump claims the U.S. has “the right to dominate Latin America.”
“Venezuela has apparently become the first country subject to this latter-day imperialism, and it represents a dangerous and illegal approach to America’s place in the world,” the board wrote. “By proceeding without any semblance of international legitimacy, valid legal authority or domestic endorsement, Mr. Trump risks providing justification for authoritarians in China, Russia and elsewhere who want to dominate their own neighbors. More immediately, he threatens to replicate the American hubris that led to the invasion of Iraq in 2003.”
The closing paragraph of the piece was nothing short of stunning.
“We will hold out hope that the current crisis will end less badly than we expect,” the board wrote. “We fear that the result of Mr. Trump’s adventurism is increased suffering for Venezuelans, rising regional instability and lasting damage for America’s interests around the world. We know that Mr. Trump’s warmongering violates the law.”
