Former President Donald Trump has made a series of statements on Truth Social regarding the necessity of presidential immunity, arguing that without it, the presidency would lose its power and prestige, and be vulnerable to legal actions from opposing parties. Trump claims that the lack of immunity would lead to every former president being immediately indicted by their opponents, potentially endangering the functionality of the presidency and the United States. He also mentioned that the presidency would be consumed by other branches of government. These remarks come as the U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear arguments on the matter, with Trump emphasizing that a nation-destroying ruling like the one from the D.C. Circuit cannot stand. Trump's comments also suggest that removing his immunity would similarly affect Joe Biden.
