So, if Trump commits a crime tonight, he can be prosecuted

Last edited Thu May 22, 2025, 09:11 PM - Edit history (1)

because the WH said he will not be acting as President.


Edit: I accidently wrote "cannot" instead of "can". But as was pointed out, he'll never be prosecuted, ever.

You have it backwards. Tonight is NOT part of his official duties, so he could be prosecuted Bernardo de La Paz May 22 #4

So Krasnov can make all of the dirty deals he wants tonight and the American people have no right to know about it because… personal time. He gets to turn the Presidenting thing on and off when it is convenient for crimeing.

But Joe was busy growing a deadly cancer on his “personal time” and he is a traitor because the Americans were not told.
(Even though he himself did not know… what a monster.)
Got it.
