"Trump's Push for Total Immunity: A Threat to Democracy?"

TL;DR Summary
Former President Donald Trump asserted on social media that presidents should have complete immunity from prosecution, even for acts that "cross the line," in an apparent effort to position the presidency beyond the reach of criminal law. This statement comes as he faces a federal indictment and seeks to solidify his position in the race for the Republican nomination. Trump's stance appears to go further than his legal team's arguments in court, and it has drawn skepticism from a federal appeals court panel.
