Trump Allies Try to Convince Supreme Court He'd Never Order Hit on Rival
A pro-Trump group tells justices he could never have the military kill non-military targets — even though he allegedly suggested shooting protesters.
Think for a moment about the Trump world of "business." If there is something that a business is not expressly prohibited from doing, which will serve the desires of that business, they will do it, no matter what it is.
"Whatever is not prohibited is required."
“Pleeeeease give him this power. He promises he’ll never use it.”
It is with great reluctance that I have agreed to this calling. I love democracy. I love the Republic. Once this crisis has abated, I will lay down the powers you have given me!
lol, I tried to get one of them ai art things to make a trump as palpatine... was not impressed but I don't use them enuf to know how to prompt properly
"I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters."
Assassin on day one only…
Isn't that besides the point?
The question is if
hea president should be legally not-allowed to order the hit, but be immune from prosecution if he did order it anyway.Perhaps I misunderstanding something. I thought the question that the court was trying to decide is if the president could be prosecuted for crimes he committed while in office, after his term ends.
Yeah they are making it extra muddy by trying to conflate the 2. But the conflation between in-office / out-of-office as well as part of his duties/ nothing to do with his duties.
But does he pinky swear?
Riiiight……
He claims he'd never do it, while simultaneously arguing that as president it would be within his legal authority to do so.
He's fighting pretty hard to retain the option that he says he's not interested in exercising. That should tell you all you need to know.
And I'm reminded of a certain buttery male vice president from the prior administration - and what almost happened to him thanks to President Drink Bleach.
