I sincerely have no idea what he's saying here. Police have a kind of immunity. The Church insulates priests from consequences which is also functions as a kind of immunity. These things are widely recognized to be a problem. They are "justified" by the stature and supposed level of responsibility required to do these jobs. The justification is thin and our efforts to dissolve immunity are righteous.

So, why bring them up?

Trump: But it's a little bit like the police. So you have a rogue cop. You know what a rogue cop is? Very seldom. But you have bad people. You have people. No matter where, no matter what. In the church, you have some people that aren't so good, right? But you have a rogue cop or a bad apple or whatever. And what they do is they make it so that you catch so that it can't happen and therefore everyone else is allowed to commit crimes, murders like at levels that we've never seen before. No, we're going to have to do this immunity for the president. If you have a president that doesn't have immunity, he's never going to be free to do anything because the opposing party will always indict him as soon as he leaves the White House. And you can't let that happen. You can't. Then you can't let that happen. You can't you take away all of the power of the presidency. It'll be a different country.

    @futurebird We all are less swayed by logical arguments and more swayed on vibes than we’d like to admit. That’s why logical fallacies exist. What’s truly awful about Trump and the world we’re in now is that he has dispensed with logic entirely, and he will not be held accountable to it.

    If Trump said tomorrow he supported abortions for everyone, his supporters would chuck the previous decision down the memory hole and retcon the new thought, because clearly there’s a deeper plan.

    I'm calling it now: he won't select a VP. He's too paranoid, self-centered, and stubborn to imagine "what would we do if you couldn't be president" just as he can't admit that he lost, he can't admit that it might not be him.

    And the republicans will put up with it too.

    @futurebird Honestly expect it to be Ivanka. Gotta keep the business in the family.
