A criminal law attorney warned late Friday that a new video appears to show President Donald Trump ran afoul of federal laws when he took the stage at a private dinner event for investors of his meme coin. Trump hosted more than 200 top investors in his personal $TRUMP meme coin on Thursday night at...
And no one is going to do a damn thing about this because the US is not a nation of laws anymore.
They said he has immunity for official duties. This article is about him using the presidential seal for non-official duties. I don’t think anything is going to happen still, but even the insane SC ruling doesn’t give him immunity for this.
The ruling outlined that official duties includes pretty much everything he does while president, unless he explicitly states it’s not in his capacity as president or for national interests, which he won’t do in court, so effectively, yes, he has complete immunity. The “official” part is just a fig leaf to give the ruling the appearance of jurisprudence.
KKKaroline in one of her recent briefings said that basically he’s doing this in his personal time, and is unrelated to his presidency. They can probably use that 🤷 not that they will though
Sure, but this is about him using the seal in a non-official capacity. Either it’s legal because it’s an official duty, in which case he doesn’t need immunity, or it’s illegal because it isn’t an official duty, in which case he isn’t immune.
Again, nothings going to happen with this regardless. I’m just stating what’s going on.
He’ll just say something like he was using it to build relationships with the leaders of other countries or some ridiculous bullshit. Unfortunately “official” while obvious to us may be more ambiguous to the law.

Why cant he say that he was speaking officially as the president of the US? He was discussing economics. He wasn’t talking about his meme coin.
As I said, he can, in which case it’s legal. Normally a president would have to argue that, but we’re well past that point.
