So, if Trump commits a crime tonight, he can be prosecuted

Last edited Thu May 22, 2025, 09:11 PM - Edit history (1)

because the WH said he will not be acting as President.


Edit: I accidently wrote "cannot" instead of "can". But as was pointed out, he'll never be prosecuted, ever.

So Krasnov can make all of the dirty deals he wants tonight and the American people have no right to know about it because… personal time. He gets to turn the Presidenting thing on and off when it is convenient for crimeing.

But Joe was busy growing a deadly cancer on his “personal time” and he is a traitor because the Americans were not told.
(Even though he himself did not know… what a monster.)
Got it.

for anything he does in his "official capacity". Kinda convenient.
