      It’s not a loophole, it’s what MAGA have been humping their Trump waifu pillows about.

      This is what America voted for. There wasn’t enough Americans who cared to stop it from happening.

      The America people knew is now gone forever. Trump is king for life and people on both sides will need to die to set things right. This will not be corrected by voting.

        What they said, was that a president can’t be prosecuted for “official acts” as president. Not that everything they do is legal.

          That’s not what happended.

          The Supreme Court refused to prosecute Trump (for a blatantly illegal act) and ruled that he was immune to prosecution for “official acts” which they refused to define.

          Then they slow walked the case back to a lower court - deliberately - so the determination was not made until after the election.

          Then in a state court, Trump was convicted, but the judge delared there was no penalty “because only a federal court could apply punishment”.

          Then a couple of days later the DoJ dopped the case because “the president is immune from prosecution”.
