Donald Trump is asking the American people to give him “immunity,” saying that otherwise he will not be able to do what it is he needs to do. This is a presidential candidate asking for permission to be a dictator, claiming that the principle of all men - even Presidents - being equal before the law paves the way to impotent leaders. This man is literally asking Americans to unAmericanize America.

Marianne, if you want to do better you need to be better. ArtII.S3.5.1 Presidential Immunity to Suits and Official Conduct constitution.congress.gov/br…

I daresay it’s more complicated than that. At core his lawyers raise an important issue—how do we avoid politically litigating every POTUS for decisions & actions demanded in their role?
