Summary

Donald Trump is seeking “temporary presidential immunity” to delay or dismiss a civil lawsuit filed in Delaware by co-founders of Trump Media & Technology Group, who accuse him of blocking their full stake in the company.

Trump argues that defending lawsuits during his presidency would distract from his official duties, citing the burden of managing numerous pending cases.

His legal team claims state court lawsuits undermine the presidency.

This effort follows broader Supreme Court rulings expanding presidential immunity, though critics cite concerns over accountability.

    Yeah… No. They took the high road for what that’s worth but they are not actively giving him more power/immunity

      Your definition of taking the high road sure is different than mine. All just to end up in the same gutter. Powerless except to pardon their friends and family, powerless except to make millions insider trading and shady deals.
