I wish Biden would make the following announcement:

It has come to my attention that Mr. Trump's lawyers are currently attempting to convince the Supreme Court that it would be legal for me, the President of the United States, to have Mr. Trump killed. I imagine that this is a source of concern for Mr. Trump and so I want to reassure him and the American public that I believe doing so would, in fact, be a crime.

"I'll have Seal Team 6 waiting outside the Courtroom pending the outcome of the case. Choose wisely."
