Time magazine called the ex-president’s plans ‘an imperial presidency that would reshape America and its role in the world’

Donald Trump has warned that Joe Biden and his family could face multiple criminal prosecutions once he leaves office unless the US supreme court awards Trump immunity in his own legal battles with the criminal justice system.

In a sweeping interview with Time magazine, Trump painted a startling picture of his second term, from how he would wield the justice department to hinting he may let states monitor pregnant women to enforce abortion laws.

Trump made the threat against the Biden family in an interview with Eric Cortellessa of Time, in which he shared the outlines of what the magazine called “an imperial presidency that would reshape America and its role in the world”.

Fuck TIME Magazine for giving anyone a platform to make threats against others.

    But it's important that the stuff he says gets documented. If for no other reason than if it all goes downhill, the alien anthropologists can figure out what the hell happened after we exterminate ourselves.

    Oh sweet, he’s at the threat-begging stage.

    "If you give me immunity for my crimes, I'll give you immunity for your crimes. Deal?"
    "I haven't committed any crimes."
    "..."

    Sure thing, just like he locked Clinton up. Why does anyone believe the stupid shit this idiot says?

    It's different now though. He didn't have the power to lock her up. This time around, he'll have Project 2025 behind him to allow him to do things like that.

    He also didn't have an actual legal case, despite a LOT of digging.

    Prosecute the Bidens on what grounds? The GOP have been investigating them for a few years now and have admitted they can't find anything, other than Hunter's tax evasion or whatever it was.

    He's full of shit and just says whatever the fuck no matter how stupid it is because he loves the uneducated and his followers are certainly that. They believe anything from anyone with an R in front of their name.

    Not he says Biden has "committed many crimes" but won't say what those crimes are.

    That will give you an idea of what he's going to come up with to charge Biden with. And he'll make it stick too.

    That's a common way of thinking in people with little to no ethics. They think everyone else is the same, and thus if you dig you're surely going to find something.

    It's crazy that this is even a political talking point. I support Biden in this election but I very much want him prosecuted if they have clear evidence of a serious crime he committed.

    I love how Trump doesn't even understand that it isn't Biden attacking him, it's the justice department doing its job of getting criminals convicted. Barking up the wrong tree, dipshit.

    So... Trump wants immunity in order NOT to go to Jail, but if he doesn't and goes to jail, how will he prosecute Biden? Also, if he gets immunity and somehow becomes president, how is he going to prosecute Biden if Biden also has immunity?

    The mental gymnastics he sells his followers would almost qualify as an Olympic event.

    Funny to imagine how this story gets recorded and retold in history books. What a fool who was elected by fools. An honest low point for America.

    He will just keep shouting as long as people are listening to him.

    Luckily those people are becoming fewer and fewer

    Everyone knows these guys are just going to lie their way into the presidency right? As in just get fox news to declare early, then stand over election officials to call it their way.
