There’s no legal support for that position. The immunity, such as it is, applies only to official acts. None of the charges for which he was convicted were official acts. They were personal acts, which the law distinguishes at all levels.

Presidential immunity holds that POTUS cannot be tried for a crime while president. The corrolary to that is that if a president has been convicted before his term of office starts, that it may not impede his performance as POTUS. Try reading the The Supremacy Clause of the Constitution of the United States (Article VI, Clause 2). State law cannot supercede the duties of POTUS.
