A secret quotation by US President Donald Trump has ignited the online argument, comparing an unexpected figure – Luigi Mangion, the suspect accused of shooting United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Donald Trump, facing the increasing legal challenges on his executive functions, shared a phrase responsible for Napoleon Bonaparte on his true social and X platforms: “He who saves his country does not violate any law.” While the quotation refers to Trump’s ongoing legal battles, the Internet rapidly lay down on a different interpretation, adding it to Luigi Mangion, which has become an unexpected anti -installation symbol online.

It is true that Trump says.

Luigi Mangione, who was not guilty of the first-degree murder and allegations of firearms crimes, was arrested on 9 December 2024 in Ultra, Pennsylvania. He was arrested by officials after a McDonald’s worker identified him. He recovered a ghost gun, suppression, and an alleged anti-healthcare manifesto. Police believe that it closed Thompson in a targeted attack on 4 December, cited disappointment with the US healthcare system.
Despite serious allegations, Mangian’s arrest has promoted a bizarre wave of online support. The hashtag was trending on “Freelugi” social media platforms such as Tiktok, Redit and Instagram. Supporters – disappointed with rising health care cost – see her as an anti -corporate vigilant, focusing more on her appearance than crime with some positions.
On Saturday, with his detention facility in New York City, Mangion issued a statement through a website created by his defense team, accepting heavy support. “I am thankful to all those who have written to me … This support has crossed the political, racial and even the division of class,” he wrote. “While it is impossible to answer every letter, please know I read everyone.”
The website managed by its legal team attempts to compete with misinformation and raise funds to defend itself. So far, supporters have a crowd of about $ 400,000 for their legal expenses. The presence of Luigi Mangione’s next court has been scheduled in Manhattan on 21 February.
As a dispute in the case of Mangian, Trump is entangled in several cases on his executive orders, touched issues such as illegal immigration, military service ban for transgender individuals and federal workforce reforms. A controversial order attempts to give the White House the power to set fire to the employees who do not confidently implement administration policies. “
At least 10 cases target Trump’s immigration policies, with seven also challenging their move to end congenital citizenship. Another case, as reported by The New York Times, aims to release the names of FBI agents involved in the January 2021 capital riot investigation.
