Trump Demands Total Presidential Immunity -- Even for Acts That 'Cross the Line'
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.
Trump demands Biden to have complete presidential immunity for any acts against him
Tomorrow's headline after Trump gets secreted away to a CIA prison: "Trump blacksited by Biden after promoting immunity for POTUS crimes. Irony lost on him."
God, I am so hard right now.
Seriously! I just wanna see one Dem call him on this and say "yup, you're right! so here's Biden with a car battery and jumper cables, an all-in-one water boarding set from Bed Bath & Beyond, a bucket of nails, and one 56 inch magnum dildo. what happens in the white house stays in the white house, ya know what I mean *nudge nudge wink wink!"
No... Let them fight...
Flappy wrinkly Kaiju noises
I mean, Biden regularly exercises and Trump believes exercise is a waste of some limited magical internal life force. Pretty sure we'd know who would win in an actual fight.
Yes, Biden is wrinkle-swole and Trump is hamberder floppy. All Biden Kong has to do is run out Trumpzilla's magical exercise battery.
I mean, let’s not kid ourselves here… they’re both decrepit old fucks. Trump just has a ~150lbs of extra weight slowing him down further
Not sure Biden wants to risk contracting raging syphilis, though.
Is that what he’s calling his penis these days?
No he literally believes everyone is born with a set amount of activity in them. Exercise expends that activity, so they’ll die sooner.
Cocaine and amphetamines, though: A-OK.
I get that. My question was facetious.
You misspelled phallic
Should we start calling AAA batteries that now?
Well, by their logic probably, Biden isn't really the president because the election was totally rigged against Trump. Biden doesn't get immunity and Trump is still covered by it.
If they genuinely believe that, then Trump can’t run for president in this race since he was already elected twice.
They just want to have their cake and eat it too.
Trump has stated in the past that he would run for a third term. He doesn't care about the constitution beyond using it as a talking point to rile his unhinged base.
Trump's positions basically boil down to "Florida Man defends his political opponent has the absolute right to shoot him with an assault rifle live on TV".
