Trump Suggests Presidential Immunity Is Necessary To Stop Him From Prosecuting Biden - Ring of Fire

[TexasTowelie]

In a panicked post on Truth Social this week, Donald Trump claimed that President Biden not only loves presidential immunity more than he does, but he also said that Biden needs full immunity to protect him from what Trump wants to do to him if he wins in November. Trump has made it clear that he is going to prosecute Biden for something, but he has been mum about the specifics since none of the investigations have provided any evidence of criminal activity. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what happened.

In a very much deranged post on truth social. This week, Donald Trump claimed that it is in fact President Biden, who, who loves presidential immunity far more than Trump does. But more importantly, Trump says, Biden needs presidential immunity, you know, to protect him from what Donald Trump wants to do with him. Um, it's a weird thing to say. It's definitely a threat, not necessarily a threat that's gonna get you a visit from the Secret Service. But it is weird that Donald Trump is out there saying like, we need presidential immunity. 'cause without it, I'm going to just straight up violate the law in order to take out my political opponent. Right? Not exactly the kind of thing you want to be admitting, especially when you're now less than a week away from the Supreme Court hearing arguments about whether or not you deserve immunity. The best thing to do would be to keep your mouth shut and not give the lawyers on the other side more ammo.

But you're too stupid to do that, and you absolutely just did it. Here is what Trump posted on truth, social crooked. Joe Biden wants presidential immunity to be protected, perhaps more than any other living, barely individual, because if he isn't and having absolutely nothing to do with me, he will surely be indicted and tried for many of his dishonest, illegal, or incompetent actions. A president should not be placed in that position. Must be free to make decisions, hopefully correct ones. He also did add that, you know, the Afghanistan disaster, Southern Border Catastrophe, those are the two things that Biden could allegedly be indicted for, which is why Biden loves presidential immunity. Now, I'm gonna have to say this again because I don't want anybody to get confused about what is happening at the Supreme Court next week. The Supreme Court is not taking up the issue of whether presidents enjoy immunity.

That's not what's at stake. That is not the argument. Immunity is in fact enshrined in the United States Constitution, and that is not going to change. What is at issue is whether or not Donald Trump was acting in his official capacity as president of the United States when he did the things that he has been indicted for. The Supreme Court is going to determine whether or not those were the actions of candidate Trump or President Trump. That is it, because they're gonna see if immunity applies, not if immunity exists. They know it exists. They're going to see if it applies to that particular situation. So Trump is misrepresenting what this immunity hearing is all about. If the Supreme Court rules against him, immunity will still exist. So Biden would still not be in danger of being prosecuted for the decisions he made as President of the United States. Whether you agree with him or not, whether

You like 'em or not, whether they were successful or not, doesn't matter. That immunity is not going anywhere. And for the record, Trump said Biden loves immunity more than he does. No, he doesn't. Biden is actually on record saying he can't think of a single instance where a president or former president should be given complete immunity. So even Trump's basic premise that Biden loves immunity more than he does, has already been proven false. So congratulations, Donald. You're oh for three in your idiotic little temper tantrum on truth social.

2. EVERYTHING is a threat with this guy...

Nice Biden, you got there. It would be a shame for something to happen to him.

3. But but .. if Trump has immunity Biden will also. So.. Trump can't prosecute Biden.

If Biden likes it or not makes no difference. If a pres has immunity he has it.

4. "If you don't give me immunity, I will go after Biden."

He is threatening us again.

5. Either way.....

With immunity, he will send a hellfire missile into Joe's bedroom. Woops.

Without, he will send the fbi without cause.

And we are supposed to elect him why?

6. Immunity or not, having NO CASE may stop him from getting anywhere with anything against Biden

I suppose he has pre-screened potential AG candidates that fit in the category of "will go after anyone or anything that I am directed to by the President whether there is solid legal grounds or not just as long as I can be AG and then maybe a nominee for the Supreme Court". Bet Rudy Guiliani is on the list.

7. Jeffrey Clark....

9. If there is unlimited presidential immunity, then Biden shoud deport Trump to Sudan.
