Donald Trump continues to argue for complete presidential immunity. Yesterday, he wrote on Truth Social (yes, in all caps):
"WITHOUT IMMUNITY, IT WOULD BE VERY HARD FOR A PRESIDENT TO ENJOY HIS OR HER 'GOLDEN YEARS' OF RETIREMENT. THEY WOULD BE UNDER SIEGE BY RADICAL, OUT OF CONTROL PROSECUTORS, MUCH LIKE I AM, BUT WITHOUT THE RETIREMENT!!!"
Former president Jimmy Carter is retired.
Former president George W. Bush is retired.
Former president Bill Clinton is retired.
Former president Barack Obama is retired.
Not a single one of those former presidents is "under siege".
Because none of those former presidents committed fraud, defamed anyone, stole top secret documents, entered into a conspiracy involving fraudulent electors, or attempted illegally to block the peaceful transfer of power.
I see no one besides LonghornBoy answered my simple questions from last night: does a president have complete immunity for anything he does in office? And is the only way a president can be prosecuted is if he is first impeached in the House and then also convicted in the Senate?
C'mon Trumpers, step up.

So, then, you're saying that if Biden were to have Donald Trump and his family either assassinated or kidnapped and removed to some hidden location forever, and arranged for the assassination of any other republican presidential candidates and a couple of dozen senate republicans he would have complete immunity from prosecution.

No. Only Biden has immunity. He would have to go all corn pop on an opponent and do the deed personally.
