    Yeah, you can’t even pretend that Trump isn’t above the law when the Supreme Court has literally ruled that he is at their discretion.

      Technically the ruling was for crimes official acts he committed while in office.

      He’s no longer president and holds no privilege, except being the Republican nominatee for President. Which apparently is a protected class.

        even as a president, this wouldn’t be protected under the immunity act, only presidential actions. Speaking to the public, as far as i am concerned is not considered to be a core “presidential action” in the government.

        Correct. Regardless, it has been codified that he IS above the law in some cases. Slippery slope is not a fallacy in this instance.
