U.S. President Donald Trump has ignited fresh controversy with remarks on executive authority and immigration policy.


Speaking to reporters, Trump said he has “many powers,” but does not always need to use them, describing his approach as controlled and deliberate.


He dismissed suggestions of shifting responsibilities from the Department of Homeland Security to the Navy, calling the idea unnecessary.


Turning to immigration, Trump strongly criticized past policies, claiming that millions of migrants entered the United States without proper checks.


He alleged that among them were individuals involved in criminal activity, arguing that stricter border enforcement remains essential for national security.


Responding to accusations that he behaves like a “king,” Trump rejected the criticism, saying such labels are used whenever he exercises presidential authority.


The comments have sparked mixed reactions, with supporters backing his stance on border control, while critics raise concerns over executive overreach.


Analysts say the remarks highlight ongoing political divisions, especially around immigration and the limits of presidential power.


As the debate continues, the issue remains at the forefront of national discourse, shaping policy and public opinion.
