If Trumpass, has complete immunity from any crime, because he is president

How the hell can Obama be investigated and prosecuted for anything he did as president.

Something is not computing here.

Now, I know Obama did nothing and trumps,is just making election noise, but really come on people. They need to start using their brains.

This shit is so obvious to combat. Media is fucking useless.

I think this Trumpass get out of jail free card thinking would also apply to VP Biden.

It's Okay If You're A Republican but Never If You're A Democrat. They've run with that one since the whole Clinton impeachment fiasco. They think they're above the law and the media, in its misguided attempt at "fairness," falls for it every time. It doesn't help that the corporate media is controlled by the 1%.

It doesn't make sense, but it apparently doesn't matter.

Yeah. Pretty sure that isn’t what Trumpass means.

He means anything he does as president cannot be investigated and or prosecuted. EVER!

are his brainwashed base. No matter what he says, or does, they will support him.

The majority of voters will see through his BS. He can not win with only his base.

to suggest immunity while serving. Their logical move, if Trump were to be reelected, would to be to revisit their position shortly before the end of his next term.

These guy are evil, but not stupid.
