Next week jury selection will begin for the first criminal trial of Donald Trump. In fact, it’s the first criminal trial of any former American president. Trump is outraged because, as he incessantly whines, “Nothing like this has ever happened before.”<\/em> But that’s only because there hasn’t been any other persistently profligate perpetrator of crimes like Trump before.<\/p>\n

The peculiar thing about Trump’s legal misadventures is that his defense rarely involves providing arguments that he is innocent. More often than not he defends himself by asserting that it is improper to accuse him of anything because he has the imaginary security blanket of “presidential immunity”<\/em> that frees him from any consequences for any crimes he feels like committing<\/a><\/strong>. Nothing like that exists in the law, but he clings to it desperately.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday Trump took to his failing social media scam, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>, to unleash his intensifying trepidation of being convicted for any number of the 88 felony charges he has currently pending. He posted a couple of fear-drenched videos on the subject of immunity that illustrate just how addled and irrational he is. The first began…<\/p>\n

“If a President doesn\u2019t have immunity, he or she will be nothing more than a ceremonial president, rarely having the courage to do what has to be done for our country and to make our country great again. This is not what our Founders had in mind at all. This is not what they wanted to think about. This not where they wanted us to be. The founders wanted the president to have immunity so the president can feel free to make decisions. Hopefully they’ll be great decisions. But whether they are or not, a president of the United States has to have immunity.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Trump's curious claim about our founders: \u201cThe founders wanted the president to have immunity so the president can feel free to make decisions…If you don\u2019t have a strong form of immunity you\u2019re not going to have anything. You\u2019re not going to have a president that can function.\u201d pic.twitter.com\/eiLtjLhpBv<\/a><\/p>\n
