Trump: It would be hard to enjoy golden years of retirement without immunity
by Sarah Fortinsky - 01/10/24 10:59 AM ET
Former President Trump claimed Tuesday that if U.S. presidents were not broadly protected by presidential immunity, their retirement years would be plagued with legal battles that would make it difficult to enjoy their golden years.

If the courts find a president has unconditional immunity Biden should send him to Guantanamo to be held incommunicado.

(82,849 posts)The hundreds of thousands of excess deaths from Covid 19, people who foolishly listened to your ignorant prattling instead of the medical advice from career public health officials and medical professionals. Those people paid with their lives, but when you got Covid, it was off to Walter Reed where they threw everything they had at the virus and you escaped with your life.
So, in a word defendant, fuck off.
