The quote reflects a dangerous belief in a lack of accountability for those in positions of power. It suggests that there is a double standard in which the president is above the law. However, in a democracy, no one, not even the president, is above the law. The idea that the president can do anything without legal consequences undermines the principles of justice and equality. Leaders should be held accountable for their actions just like any other citizen.
