    Trump CRAPPED All Over 9/11 Families...
    By even hosting that Golf Event...
    The LIV tournament is backed by the Saudi government, and Mr Trump has received pushback from families of those killed on 9/11 for hosting the event.
    “I think it’s money, it’s greed, it’s power,” Brett Eagleson, president of 9/11 Justice who lost his father in the attacks, told The New York Times.
    “It’s a non-starter to have a former president profiting from those who are accused of murdering our family members.”

    Didn’t Biden just fist pump the Saudis? And in return they gave him the China virus.

    He's a selfish monster.

    It wasn't bad enough that he...
    Praised Xi while he was getting paid millions during his one term in office,
    Put down our FBI and country in favor of Putin,
    Lied to his own based about COVID and has ignored that demographic now has higher hospitalizations and death rates,
    Set up our military and Afghani friends to be harmed by the Taliban he released,
    Planned to host the Taliban on our land,
    Disrespected our military and their families,
    Manipulated his own supporters into committing crimes and denounced them,
    Tried to stop a certification and peaceful transfer of power

    Now this?

    He's heading for a World Record for most traitorous pos this country has ever seen. Benedict Donald makes Arnold seem like a saint.

    There are the Capitol rioters that died. He has a lot of blood on his hands.

    I agree that it can be argued that he was not acting in his official capacity as POTUS at the rally BUT I think most of the case you outlined and even the J6 committee focused on in the final hearing was his inaction during the riots. I think his lack of action could be considered an official presidential strategy with regards to the events. It may not have been the proper thing to do but it would probably be covered in his immunity protection. The whole point of the immunity is to protect the president from civil suits based on the actions he took, (or in this case didn't take), to execute his office.

    You don't understand the concept of taking precautions? Even if very unlikely to become violent he knew that a lot of people would be there. Sorry if it bothers you that he excersized his right to free speech and assembly. I will protect that right with every breath. That is America. Without it, there is no democracy anyways.

    This just might set the precedent that only official actions can be protected

    What a stupid argument. Do you actually believe this crap?

    Sending an armed mob to attack the Capitol is not free speech. LOL!

    I think that is the assumption. It is meant to protect the president from decisions and policies related to his role in an official capacity.

    No one had guns and he called for a peaceful march. The left twisting things by abusing language doesn't change what actually happened.
