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.

    Yes, Biden is wrinkle-swole and Trump is hamberder floppy. All Biden Kong has to do is run out Trumpzilla’s magical exercise battery.

      I mean, let’s not kid ourselves here… they’re both decrepit old fucks. Trump just has a ~150lbs of extra weight slowing him down further

      Not sure Biden wants to risk contracting raging syphilis, though.

      … Trumpzilla’s magical exercise battery.

      Is that what he’s calling his penis these days?

        No he literally believes everyone is born with a set amount of activity in them. Exercise expends that activity, so they’ll die sooner.

        Cocaine and amphetamines, though: A-OK.

        Should we start calling AAA batteries that now?
