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.
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…
Trump just said Biden has immunity to jail him for no reason at all! Thanks Trump!
Well, if you believe this, you should have faith that sleepy Joe has a chance at immunity once he leaves office.
