> The Republican majority on the SCOTUS announced that Trump is immune from all laws
This is factually untrue; the Court, in Trump v. United States, 603 U.S. 593 (2024), held that the President has:
(1) absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for exercises of core constitutional powers,
(2) presumptive immunity from criminal prosecution for all official acts,
(3) no immunity from criminal prosecution for unofficial acts.
This is—while still problematic—very far from the President being “immune to all laws”.
