The Trump Immunity Case Is Paving the Way for King Trump

Unsurprisingly, Donald J Trump, the man who slept close to a copy of Mein Kampf at some point, according to his niece, is now well on a path towards conquering the presidency again. However, this time around with a more favorable context. During his first term in office, Trump helped muscle in three ultra conservative Supreme Court justices: Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett.

There are also dozens of conservative appointees to federal courts across the country. These same people are now redefining executive law to favor Trump’s particular use of power, which is brazen, self-serving, and with unhinged ends, like most presidents before. But apparently, only he will get to openly benefit from these tools, and do so with even wilder discretion and no consequences. The next president will be one who can wage war for personal benefits and not be prosecuted. Perhaps, not far fetched, is the unilateral call for drone assassinations for TV points. One suspects that if Trump were to once again reach the presidency, his formerly illegal actions would be uniquely made for media. Heck, he may even target them.

The New Ruling: Dier Ubermensch

On Monday, the Supreme Court ruled that a president could not be prosecuted for official acts. This leaves the only hurdle to Trump not being guilty of a crime as figuring out how to define everything he does as official. Per Bloomberg, the court’s dissenters and a chorus of critics said the majority had undercut that notion, elevating the president to a king who can easily avoid prosecution. They warned of future presidents unbound from the rule of law who could freely engage in criminal activity. And they pointed to the prospect of a second term for Donald Trump — the man whose indictment on charges related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election prompted the Supreme Court to weigh in — as a moment when their worst fears could be realized.

In her dissent, Chief Justice Sotomayor wrote: “The three Democratic nominees dissented in an opinion by Sotomayor that contended the majority had created a “law-free zone around the President.”

“Orders the Navy’s Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune,” she wrote. “Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune.

Certainly, there are other legal scholars who opine that such acts would be legally difficult still, but the precedent is set. Trump’s brand and the Democratic opinion converge in a peculiar way. Both likely conclude that his habit to breach US social and legal norms will be supported by the ruling.  

The twisted mechanism to redefine the legal realm is scary enough, but in this years election, Americans have the grim choice between a conventional president and the open menace of a ruler for life, who could redefine the election, repeat his past offenses only in this altered future they would be official acts.

Trump holds the distinction of being the president most subject to criminal proceedings in the nations history with four significant criminal proceedings:

At the state level, Trump is charged in New York with falsifying business records in connection with a payment made to silence allegations of an affair during the 2016 presidential campaign. He has been convicted and is awaiting sentencing but this could change as the Supreme Court has ruled that Trump could be free to commit crimes in furtherance of his office.

At the federal level, Mar-a-Lago Documents Case: Trump faces 40 federal charges related to mishandling classified documents and obstruction of justice 

In Georgia, Trump was charged with racketeering and other offenses related to efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. A desperate Trump realizing his election loss was imminent found himself placing phone calls to pressure local election officials for a recount.

Finally, a Special Counsel, Jack Smith, has charged Trump with attempting to overturn the 2020 election results for actively interfering via social media in favor of the mutiny on Capitol Hill. Recall here that Trump expressed support for activities that led to death and injury of police officers tasked with protecting key buildings and personnel. 

Supreme Court Ruling: A Major Turning Point

The controversial Zionist lawyer, Alan Dershowitz, offered his takeaways from the immunity case, clarifying the ramifications of the ruling on current and future presidents. Meanwhile, liberal and conservative quarters are presenting their contrasting views on the adjudication. Critics argue that this immunity could potentially allow a president to orchestrate malicious actions without legal consequences.

Tempers Rising over Presidential Immunity

The immunity ruling has produced a wave of reactions across social media platforms. Some supporters argue that such immunity is necessary to protect presidents from claims related to actions that fall within constitutional rule. Others fear that the ruling opens the door for abuses of power in the future, potentially jeopardizing democratic processes.

Trump has openly toyed with the idea of open warfare as a replacement for conventional law enforcement, ordering targeted assassinations for targets abroad. Mexico could become a playground for the bloody fantasies of a maligned presidency backed by radical judicial activists – zealots who have achieved a degree of power unimaginable ten years ago.

What’s Next for the Former President?

While Trump’s sentencing has been delayed, the future implications of this ruling on his legal defenses remain uncertain. As the legalities continue to unfold, this claim of immunity is sure to fuel further incoherence in an American system befuddled when it comes to prosecuting its executive branch.
