Ridiculous. He wasn't president when the crime occurred, he wasn't president when the trial happened.
Nor was it an "official act"
I'll be happy to be proven wrong, ecstatic even, but watch as he gets his way because the judiciary is too chicken shit to uphold 'all men are equal under the law'.
All men are equal under the law, it's just that apparently Trump is above the law :(
All men are equal. Unfortunately this influential sack of lard doesn't qualify as one.
It's been awhile since I was reading about this when it first came up, but I believe part of the issue is his "presidential immunity" would have made how some of the evidence was obtained no longer valid given the immunity. It's all BS.
Remember when even having a criminal charge against you was disqualifying for the presidency?
Or being a pedophile that rapes children.
I miss the days when things like condiment choice and suit colors were among the more controversial things.
Oh don't worry. They're still releasing breaking news stories that the family member Mamdani referred to as "auntie" is actually his elder cousin. The scandal!
OMG! The brown suite. I forgot about that.

Can we appeal the sentencing (or absolute lack of)?
ELI5: Why is this even of interest to him? If he ignores it, it has already gone away. If he brings it up, it returns to public attention. what a dipshit weirdo!
He's petty and doesn't remember who was president when the events took place. I imagine he'll argue immunity is retroactive
Just more rage baiting. His order of importance is: make himself more powerful, make his rich backers more powerful, piss off liberals.
He wants a ccw
Does this open the possibility for a less-corrupt judge to revisit sentencing, rather than the dishonorable Juan M Merchan’s shameful non-sentence?
