This is not true. It has everything to do with what Trump is doing and has done.
> What they ruled is that he can't be _prosecuted_ for most actions he takes as president.
Again untrue. What they ruled is that he cannot be held criminally liable for any official actions. Unofficial actions are still up for debate. And you'd have to be extremely naive to wonder why they didn't give any guideline regarding distinction between official and unofficial actions. Or wonder why they refused to take up the exact same issue when asked by the prosecutor.
> And as much as Democrats complained about it at the time, it's probably the only thing keeping Biden from facing some kind of phony indictment right now.
This isn't true as well. If they wanted to, they can still go after Biden and claim that his acts were "unofficial".
> The _only_ thing that is allowing Trump to get away with this is Congress's inability to act, or passive acquiescence to what he's doing.
Definitely not the only thing, but one of the reasons why Congress doesn't act is because of violent backlash from the MAGA crowd.
