The possible crimes of a diplomat are a totally different thing. A diplomat can at least be ejected from the country, if the diplomat comes from a friendly country, that country will likely hold the diplomat accountable for their crimes, and a diplomat isn't in the position to completely undermine our democracy by using immunity to act freely as an unaccountable dictator.

A diplomat, most importantly, isn't a citizen of our country the way a President is and has to be.

You can also be sure that if a diplomat tried to do something really outrageous and harmful to the country as a whole, there would be consequences one way or another, up to and including a declaration of war.

I can be pretty damned certain that if I tried to claim immunity from prosecution because I'm actually an alien from another planet, and as such cannot be held accountable to earthly laws, it's not going to take weeks or months to sort that out, and our society won't collapse into a hellscape of kangaroo courts and mob justice simply because my ridiculous gambit is quickly dismissed as nonsense.
