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 idiot is really arguing that someone should be able to assassinate him without any consequences. That is the legal argument he’s making.
No, you’re missing the point. You see, this special immunity should only apply to Trump. Because he’s Trump, and if he says stupid things often enough, some people will believe him.
I think he’s promoting a no holes bared, fight to the death presidential BATTLE ROYAL.
My money is on #39
*holds
No holes barred would be a different type of wrasslin’.
You missed ‘bared’?
Ugh lol
Really? I always bar my holes, just in case.
I think Obama would be the favorite to win
On paper, maybe. But I reckon Carter’s street smarts beat Obama’s book smarts.
Considering at 62 he’s still 15 years younger than the next youngest living president (GWB) current or otherwise, I’d have to agree with you.
that hasn’t occurred to him yet. but he plans on being america’s last president
Sounds like he’d be up for some good old https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_mutilation_in_Byzantine_culture
