Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
A PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES MUST HAVE FULL IMMUNITY, WITHOUT WHICH IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM/HER TO PROPERLY FUNCTION. ANY MISTAKE, EVEN IF WELL INTENDED, WOULD BE MET WITH ALMOST CERTAIN INDICTMENT BY THE OPPOSING PARTY AT TERM END. EVEN EVENTS THAT “CROSS THE LINE” MUST FALL UNDER TOTAL IMMUNITY, OR IT WILL BE YEARS OF TRAUMA TRYING TO DETERMINE GOOD FROM BAD. THERE MUST BE CERTAINTY. EXAMPLE: YOU CAN’T STOP POLICE FROM DOING THE JOB OF STRONG & EFFECTIVE CRIME PREVENTION BECAUSE YOU WANT TO GUARD AGAINST THE OCCASIONAL “ROGUE COP” OR “BAD APPLE.” SOMETIMES YOU JUST HAVE TO LIVE WITH “GREAT BUT SLIGHTLY IMPERFECT.” ALL PRESIDENTS MUST HAVE COMPLETE & TOTAL PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY, OR THE AUTHORITY & DECISIVENESS OF A PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES WILL BE STRIPPED & GONE FOREVER. HOPEFULLY THIS WILL BE AN EASY DECISION. GOD BLESS THE SUPREME COURT!

Trump did not cross any line. It’s all political games, USSR and Third World style.
But the point he makes is correct.
Guess never-Trumpers cannot see that.
Read your constitution
Still trying to figure out what line he crossed, other than intimidating the existing power structure.
He’s exactly right about this.
I see “Yahoo” and I think “lie.” Just lies.
How about Obama AND Biden assassinating overseas Americans?
Does that have immunity?
It’s Yahoo News. When they’re not attacking Trump, they’re busy trying to rehabilitate Stalin and Mao.
don’t pay any attention to people who say Rob Meatball has no chance. He’s just getting started!!
Reminds me of when he said we need to 'TERMINATE THE CONSTITUTION' for him too. I'm sure some are standing at the ready. Not me. Not for any one person. Requests like this are how you destroy the country, not save it.
If these morons would actually listen to what Trump is saying, they’d understand that he’s actually defending president’s like Obama, Bush, and Clinton along with himself. I leave Biden out of it because he’s not a Constitutionally elected president (same with non-NBC Obama, but I’ll leave that aside for the moment).
He’s pointed out the sorts of things for which they could be prosecuted if presidential immunity were to go away.
Kellyanne Conway was a major influence in '16.
American women held their noses and voted for Trump over Hillary.
Trump needs to find a way to appeal to white women again. Joe Biden has one trick in his bag that Hillary didn't get to use back in '16.
Abortion.
White women will crawl on broken glass to vote for the Democrats on the abortion issue alone.
There are legitimate arguments for broad presidential immunity and Trump was trying to touch upon but because he’s an illiterate man child he just spewed forth a rant that will be used against him and every other republican.
What about resident pecker head biden talk about lawlessnessness!’’!
Law has its limits. Even God recognizes that so he exercises grace and mercy. And the same principle applies to running a democracy. We just call grace, immunity. It seems grace is the higher calling and is needed by necessity since any law system breaks down at a certain point because of man’s imperfection. We just hope we don’t have to test it thereby pushing the system to disastrous results . . . and that is what we are well on the verge of doing.
Nowhere in the Constitution does it grant the president “full immunity.” In fact, Article I, Section 3 states that those impeached are in fact subject to “ Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment ” :
“Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.”
He crossed no line.
What line do you think he crossed?
/massive eyeroll.
Another NeverTrumper spews.
