Donald Trump may have just undercut his own legal defense with a posting on Truth Social, and the site's users were quick to point it out on Saturday.

Trump, who is currently petitioning the Supreme Court for full presidential immunity even in instances where conduct "crosses the line," took to his soon-to-go-public social network this weekend to decry what he has labelled political prosecutions against him.

Trump has claimed without proof that all his civil and criminal cases are brought because of President Joe Biden.

"At what point are the actions of a sitting President, using LAWFARE against his opponent for purposes of Election Interference, considered ILLEGAL?" Trump asked Saturday.

He then continued:

"I believe, as do various highly respected legal scholars, that Crooked Joe Biden has long since crossed over that very sacred threshold!!!"

The pushback came immediately, and it was coming from inside the house.

In the comments of Trump's Truth Social post, an account by the name of "TRUTH" said the following:

"Ohhh so you don't want full immunity for presidents??! hahaha"

An account by the name of Mr Magoo added, "How can it be illegal? He has complete immunity according to you?"

Frannie echoed those same sentiments:

"Shouldn't presidents have total immunity according to you?"

Willson, who identifies as a "McCain Republican," was even more blunt:

"DONALD, as long as Biden is president, nothing he does is illegal!"

A user named Tom said, "According to you, nothing the President does is ILLEGAL."

Another user, BruceLee2022, said they are a Republican seeking proof of Trump's innocence.

"Where is the proof Biden is behind your troubles? Release the proof," they wrote on Saturday. "Why are you trying to constant[ly] delay? I'm a Republican and I need proof of your innocence."
