Fat former President Trump went with the old L’etat c’est moi Tuesday on Truth Social after getting his ass kicked as the DC Appeals Court, writing “A President of the United States must have Full Immunity in order to properly function and do what has to be done for the good of our Country.”
“A Nation-destroying ruling like this cannot be allowed to stand. If not overturned, as it should be, this decision would terribly injure not only the Presidency, but the Life, Breath, and Success of our Country. A President will be afraid to act for fear of the opposite Party’s Vicious Retribution after leaving Office. I know from personal experience because I am going through it right now. It will become a Political Weapon used for Election Interference. Even our Elections will be corrupted and under siege. So bad, and so dangerous for our Nation. SAVE PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY!”
He really sold his belief that he’s right on the merits pretty well. You could actually see something sort of approximating sincerity and principle rather than just pants-pissing panic that the path to delaying the trial until after the election became far more narrow and perilous.
