Trump threatens to prosecute Bidens if he’s re-elected unless he gets immunity - eviltoast

Time magazine called the ex-president’s plans ‘an imperial presidency that would reshape America and its role in the world’

Donald Trump has warned that Joe Biden and his family could face multiple criminal prosecutions once he leaves office unless the US supreme court awards Trump immunity in his own legal battles with the criminal justice system.

In a sweeping interview with Time magazine, Trump painted a startling picture of his second term, from how he would wield the justice department to hinting he may let states monitor pregnant women to enforce abortion laws.

Trump made the threat against the Biden family in an interview with Eric Cortellessa of Time, in which he shared the outlines of what the magazine called “an imperial presidency that would reshape America and its role in the world”.

    Surely the best way to resolve without a constitutional disaster is simply for him to convincingly lose the election come November ?

    If he died now he would be a martyr obviously.

      He lost one election already, then he threw a hissy fit and tried to stage a coup. The second time it will be even worse.

      If he died now he would be a martyr obviously.

      Hundreds of historians have said that Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump is the worst president in history. There is no scenario where that changes.

        That’s not how martyrdom works.

        It doesn’t matter how bad he is. If he dies then his spectre will remain eternal.

        He needs to lose the election. A public acknowledgement that the people have rejected him.
