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.
So, what’s everyone’s plan if this fucking lunatic is allowed back in the White House?
Wait for the generals to “retire” him and take control of the country, which will then spiral into civil war and continuous purges as one factor or another gains temporary control and then succumbs to their opponents or internal divisions.
Ah yes, civil war in a country that has large stockpiles of nuclear and chemical weapons, and has been honing its military to deal with small insurgent forces for decades.
One can only hope that the military actually upholds its duty to defend the constitution. Otherwise we’re in for a wild ride.
