Former President Donald Trump is immune from criminal prosecution for official acts he allegedly committed during his tenure, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Monday in a landmark decision that could shield Trump from the indictments against him and dramatically redefine the limits of presidential power.

The 6-3 decision comes months after oral argument in April, during which Trump’s lawyers and a team led by Department of Justice special counsel Jack Smith debated the extent to which immunity covers an official presidential act.

1. The idea of presidential immunity is flat out ludicrous.

If you break the law you go to jail just like everyone else..

2. That's the thing! Would President Biden order the military to take out TFG? Not in this lifetime

He's spent his entire life following the rule of law as we know it.

3. Immunity while he's in office and immunity after he leaves office.

In other words, he can do anything he wants and never be held accountable during the rest of his life.

Short live the King!

"All men are equal under the law -- except Donald Trump."

4. He'll want immunity when he enters Hell after he dies.

Satan will laugh in his face and tell him, "There's no immunity for cheating at golf."
