Trump: 'I Feel That As A President, You Have To Have Immunity'

Donald Trump came out of court after having his immunity case decimated by the appellate court and made a statement. It was a typical Trumpian statement, full of political argle-bargle about how Biden is prosecuting him in order to win, etc.

And then came the implicit threat: "That'll be bedlam in the country. It's a very bad thing. It's a very bad precedent."

He added, "And that's a very sad thing that's happened with this whole situation. When they talk about threat to democracy, that's your real threat to democracy." (I'm not the threat YOU'RE the threat. Typical BS argument)

Keep in mind, what he is arguing is that he could order S.E.A.L. Team Six to assassinate Biden and as long as he was not impeached and convicted, he'd get away with it.

That whole "impeached and convicted" qualifier blew his argument out of the water today and forced his lawyer to concede that the president does not have absolute immunity. Of course, if he had been impeached and convicted, he would have argued that trying him in criminal court would be double jeopardy, so there is always a way for him to weasel out. Also, Mitch McConnell whipped against conviction for one reason: Trump could be tried in criminal court.

But facts don't matter to Trump. All that matters is how he feels, as he went on to explain.
