He needs to sign ot get certain manadatory briefings if I'm not mistaken. That he hasn't signed is a tell that feathering his own nest is a top priority.

Hopefully he is being brought up to speed on Project 2025

 

How is it a tell that feathering his own nest is a top priority? 

 

Why should it be a high priority?

Trump is immune from prosecution

Not according to the USSC. It ruled that there are circumstances immunity applies when POTUS acts in the duties of the POTUS and not immune when he acts in any other capacity, as a private citizen. Its decision was that lower court judges must make such analysis.

Thus, a lower court can find Trump acted without POTUS immunity and be subjected to criminal prosecution. For example, Trump acting as a POTUS candidate running political office is not conducting himself as POTUS but as a private citizen. A further example, paying a porn star to be silent through a private attorney so that such revelation does not affect his candidacy for POTUS.

No, just traitors.  It's the great paradox of U.S. history.

“Donald Trump and his transition team are already breaking the law,” Senator Warren wrote. “I would know because I wrote the law. Incoming presidents are required to prevent conflicts of interest and sign an ethics agreement. This is what illegal corruption looks like.”

You completely missed the point of my question. I will try again. What is the difference between, as you call it, ILLEGAL corruption, and LEGAL corruption ? 

If this is too difficult for you forget about it. Not important.

I answered what LEGAL corruption looks like. Illegal corruption is of no interest to me.

The voters of America gave Trump and his masters a free rein, or is that a free reign?

 

He will do exactly what he wants subject to his backers approval and the Dems will have to simply suck it up. We already know the law does not apply to some individuals in the good ole US of A!

No that why it's an LGBT thing

[WDSmart]

Why? Because he is and will continue to throughout his presidency and in his personal life. He's a convicted felon, after all. What do you expect?

[spidermike007]

He has been breaking the law since the late 70s, he is a career criminal, and he's very comfortable breaking the law, so I'm not sure why anybody would think that he wouldn't continue breaking the law. Especially after what he considers to be a mandate by the people.

What laws was he breaking in the '70s?

 

Not everyone thinks "He has been breaking the law since the late 70s, he is a career criminal, and he's very comfortable breaking the law..."

Actually, he's not now nor has he ever been a convicted felon.

Trump is immune from prosecution and so doesn't need to sign the law. He also has a friendly SC to cover for him.

Need not leave the focus on the USA. Political candidates dependent on campaign contributions from wealthy individuals and businesses. Quite legal …

The US citizens voted for the Trump Almighty: GOP, Senate, House and SC in his imperial hands.

Scrapping the bottom of the barrel already, not experts but one woman Warren, who lied about being Native American, depriving real Native Americans of benefits and opportunities. She is the joker who said over and over that Trump would never be President. Just another hater causing division.

Oh didums another disappointed Kamala supporter crying into their latte. If deporting illegals (same as Obama) finishing the wall, cutting prices and inflation, ending woke trans nonsense, strengthening the military and not being involved in wars etc etc is being a rotten apple then lets hope there is an orchard of them.

Please continue screaming your cultish beliefs so the sane amongst us can have a good head shake and laugh.  Or you could "do your own research" and find out that once a judge issues an adjudication the defendant's status is exonerated or convicted.  Appeals do not change the defendants status until resolved.

Sure is.

You've made a severe logic error.

 

A basic example:

All dogs are mammals.

A whale is a mammal, therefor a whale is also a dog.

 

Samuel Johnson in effect said:

All scoundrels claim patriotism as a defense.

 

You claim:

The founding fathers claim to be patriots.  Therefor they were also scoundrels.

 

Do you see what you did there?

When during trump's term did the US cease being involved with wars?
