The former president has made clear once again that he believes the office should have absolute power
The D.C. Federal Court of Appeals is expected to hand down a decision on Donald Trump’s claim to “absolute” presidential immunity any day now, and the former president is upping his public pressure campaign for a favorable decision.
Early Thursday morning, Trump took to Truth Social to rant about the exemption he believes a president — or former president — should have from prosecution over crimes committed while in office. “EVEN EVENTS THAT ‘CROSS THE LINE’ MUST FALL UNDER TOTAL IMMUNITY, OR IT WILL BE YEARS OF TRAUMA TRYING TO DETERMINE GOOD FROM BAD,” Trump wrote.
…
The former president argued that without total blanket immunity, the chief executive would be stripped of the “authority and decisiveness” necessary to carry out their duties in office. “Sometimes you just have to live with ‘great but slightly imperfect,’” he wrote in the all-caps post.
“Presidents should have complete immunity!”
“Biden should be brought to court for what he does!”
Sooooo… Which one is it?
So, what’s everyone’s plan if this fucking lunatic is allowed back in the White House?
Make no mistake, even if he loses the popular vote, Trump is going to take getting reelected as some kind of mandate to act as a dictator and do whatever he wants with the full power of the US government and military behind him.
Democracy will not survive another 4 years of this increasingly unhinged husk of a moron.
So… Biden has immunity to do whatever he sees fit regarding the punishment befitting a traitor to America?
FUCK YEAH!
What line?
I don’t think there has been a line for a while.
So, Biden can just throw Trump in jail right now, or assassinate him? Cool, cool. Donny isn’t too bright, is he.
Mister “lock her up” sure has changed his tune…
Not that it’s surprising. He contradicts himself daily, and has done so for years.
Trump just said Biden has immunity to jail him for no reason at all! Thanks Trump!
Perhaps jail… or I mean if we’re brainstorming… perhaps capture him and remove all his nails with pliers.
This man says a lot of things
Maybe even the most things
Everybody knows it
That’s what they’re saying folks. It’s true. It’s all true.
It is what they’re saying.
He’s seeing what he can get away with by having his start point so far out.
Wait until it is granted for some reason, then he gets elected. I am sure no one on the right sees this sequence of events as a problem…
I don’t understand how this is even in play. I thought the point of immunity was to prevent active members of government being arrested or prevented from doing their duty by minor or spurious charges while in office. The example was a congressman being pulled over on his way to an important vote. Trump doesn’t have any duties anymore. The nation doesn’t give a shit if he’s in court or prison or whatever, so why should he be immune to anything? Now seems the perfect time to find out exactly what he’s done.
IT WILL BE YEARS OF TRAUMA TRYING TO DETERMINE GOOD FROM BAD
Because it worked so well when we decided to skip over all that “good from bad” determination after the Civil War.
Look who’s to say who was wrong in that situation or any situation. Morality doesn’t exist. Move on.

Unless something bad happens to me.
Sounds like that means Dark Brandon can grab his Mossberg and legally start hunting #fascists.
I guess he will never be able to arrest Biden for anything, no matter what he may do.
Hear that Biden? Trump gave you permission to just shoot him dead because you have immunity and can’t be arrested for it as long as you do it while.president.
I bet if Biden did shoot orange man, this type of presidential immunity would disappear.
“THAT’S THE WHOLE REASON I WANTED TO BE PRESIDENT”
