Former President Donald Trump delivered yet another all-caps rant on Monday demanding that the United States Supreme Court grant him full immunity from prosecution for any act he took while in office.
Writing on his Truth Social platform, Trump once again hinting at using the DOJ to go after President Joe Biden should SCOTUS not grant his request for immunity, and he even suggested that he would be justified pursuing charges against political foes "for any reason."
"IF A PRESIDENT DOES NOT HAVE IMMUNITY, THE COURT WILL BE 'OPENING THE FLOODGATES' TO PROSECUTING FORMER PRESIDENTS," Trump wrote. "AN OPPOSING HOSTILE PARTY WILL BE DOING IT FOR ANY REASON, ALL OF THE TIME!"

In fact, America has never had criminal immunity for presidents and the nation managed to survive for nearly 250 years before a former president faced criminal charges leveled against them -- and that also happened to be the same former president who was the only man to have ever been impeached on two separate occasions during his one term in office.
Trump has already been convicted on 34 felony charges related to falsifying business records to cover up hush-money payments to an adult film star, and he has also been charged with criminally obstructing government efforts to retrieve top-secret government documents from his properties and with conspiring to defraud the United States with his scheme to illegally remain in power after losing the 2020 presidential election.
