@roberttsai So is he just out there suggesting that Joe Biden can assassinate him and that will be covered by presidential immunity? Damn, if that's the case...

Seriously, I think this is just another indication that he is suffering from progressive dementia, first because he even believes this, but second, even if he does believe it why would he be putting that out there now when he's not in power? Does he think he's going to be ressurrected if someone kills him?

I sure hope the Surpreme Court justices will take note of this if/when they decide any cases on the limits of presidential immunity!

That Trump believes the presidency gives him the right to assassinate political opponents should worry the hell out of us. It's not a hypothetical in his mind, but a preview of his second term agenda should court rulings grant him a "license to kill." #executiveimmunity

Highly recommend this excellent, short, expert piece regarding procedural options available to the D.C. District Court should it decide (as it should) that Trump has no executive immunity from federal criminal prosecution for election interference. The authors explain how Trump is trying to run out the clock on the trial, how the courts can prevent this tactic, and why justice requires them to do so. https://www.justsecurity.org/91074/mandate-matters-how-the-dc-circuit-could-limit-trumps-run-out-the-clock-strategy/ #LawFedi #ExecutiveImmunity
Mandate Matters: How the DC Circuit Could Limit Trump’s Run-Out-the-Clock Strategy

The DC Circuit has every reason to put the burden on former President Trump by issuing a quick mandate.
