It should scare the shit out of Americans that SCOTUS is giving immunity to a 'dictator on day one'

...this ruling makes it clear how dangerous it would be to elect someone who has no regard for the laws EVERONE else in America has to live by, EXCEPT the president, according to the Supreme Court.

It has never been more important, perhaps since the first election of a U.S. president, that Americans choose someone who is not only trustworthy, but will clearly and without equivocation, defend, protect, and uphold the laws and Constitution of the United States.

...and it occurred how absurd that was.

If Trump conducted himself as someone who respected the law, it might work to his advantage, but he's made clear that he believes the laws we live by don't apply to him.

I'm almost certain this is something that will stick in the craw of most voters.
