Donald Trump spoke to reporters after his legal professionals argued {that a} president ought to have full immunity, and his feedback have been a collection of delusions.
Trump stated:
Properly, I simply needed to thanks all, and we had a, and I had a really memorable day when it comes to what was realized and what they admitted. They conceded two essential factors: They have been proper to do it. I do not assume that they had a lot alternative, however they’re very, very highly effective factors, and I believe we’re doing very effectively.
It’s extremely unfair when an opponent, a political opponent, is persecuted by Biden’s DOJ by the DOJ, so that they lose in each ballot. They’re dropping in nearly each demographic group, and numbers got here out right now which can be really mind-boggling in the event you occur to be Joe Biden. I believe they really feel like that is the way in which to attempt to win. It is not the way in which it is going, and it’ll be chaos within the nation, and like we stated, it is opening Pandora’s field, and it is very unhappy what has occurred with this entire scenario.
Once they discuss concerning the menace to democracy, and that’s the actual menace to democracy. I consider that as president it is best to have immunity, and that’s quite simple. For those who do not try this, for instance, if this case is misplaced due to immunity and I’ve completed nothing incorrect, completely nothing incorrect, then I work for the nation.
Trump is utilizing one other huge lie to say he’s being politically persecuted
Trump’s declare that he’s being politically persecuted relies on the lie that he’s forward of President Biden within the polls. There has solely been one ballot within the final 5 nationwide polls exhibiting Donald Trump forward, and Trump’s lead over Biden was only one level. All of the polls point out that 2024 may very well be a detailed election, however the concept Trump leads all the pols and each demographic group, and that is why he is being persecuted, is a lie.
If Trump isn’t forward in all polls, his declare that the prosecutions are political will crumble.
Trump tells this new huge lie to vary the topic of his personal conduct.
Presidents additionally don’t have any investigative powers, so it is less than Trump to trace down voter fraud. The courts have already dominated that Trump acted as a candidate, not president, when he tried to overturn the election.
The whole lot Trump stated was a lie.
Trump can not justify his declare to immunity, and when he tried, he disappeared right into a puddle of lies.
