Trump says 'Biden, I am sure, will be prosecuted' in explosive Time Magazine interview

[Tom of Temecula]

Former President Donald Trump came as close as he ever has to outright saying he would try to get President Joe Biden thrown in prison if he wins another term in office, in an interview released on Tuesday by TIME Magazine.

During the interview, Trump gave seemingly contradictory answers when asked about jailing Biden, although he did say he would appoint a special prosecutor to investigate him. "I wouldn’t want to hurt Biden," Trump said initially. "I have too much respect for the office."

The former president then shifted gears and vowed Biden would face charges if the Supreme Court didn't grant his demands for total immunity to break the law as president. "If they said that a President doesn’t get immunity, then Biden, I am sure, will be prosecuted for all of his crimes," Trump explained.

The Supreme Court ruling in question is set to come down after oral arguments in which the justices broadly appeared skeptical of the idea presidents enjoy universal immunity for anything done in office, but at least some appeared open to excluding some "official acts" from prosecution.

1. He said the same about Hillary in 2016

He predicts a lot of things that never happen.

[PatSeg]

4. Yeah, he just throws crap out there

hoping something will stick. He rarely thinks before he talks, he just opens his mouth and lets all the mind-crap escape into the real world.

He is becoming more unhinged and reactive all the time, which I suppose is a good thing with the election coming up in November. Remind the world what a total incompetent nutjob that he is.

[DENVERPOPS]

29. Every thing he says

or Republican Politicians say, is covered by the psychiatric phenomenon called "PROJECTION"................

[PatSeg]

33. Yes and I know that is a tactic a lot of people use

But with Trump he is so obvious and specific, it is almost bizarre. Whenever he attacks people, he is usually just describing himself.

He would be so easy to psychoanalyze. Don't need to dig deep, he just tells the world who he is whenever he opens his mouth.

[ificandream]

39. I don't think he cares if it sticks. He just throws meat for his mongrels.

Sticking it to the libs, he hopes. Gotta make sure that doesn't happen, voters. We must #StopRepublicanism.

[PatSeg]

45. I suppose that is true

His primary objective is to keep making noise to divert attention from the last outrageous thing he's said. He really doesn't give anything a chance to sink in.

[bucolic_frolic]

2. "I have too much respect for the office." OH! Irony on life support! OH, brother!

This man should be in a padded cell. Quickly.

[PortTack]

3. Poor donnie two scoops...it's so lonely at the top.....of a crime family!

[Boomerproud]

5. Is he on the cover too?

He doesn't get enough attention.

[Bo Zarts]

37. None flattering ..

[Kid Berwyn]

6. "I wouldn't want to hurt Biden."

Someone bad would have to make him do a bad thing like that, right.

[Permanut]

28. Wink, wink, nudge nudge..

[calimary]

40. My ass he wouldn't.

[Evolve Dammit]

52. Don't make me hurt you. (Translation from mob boss code)

[Johonny]

7. All his crimes, but cant name one . . .

No one ever tells him he's full of shit to his face, but Biden.

[emulatorloo]

10. "crooked Hillary" "crooked Joe" yet can't explain what they allegedly did wrong. Yet it is easy to explain how Trump

broke the law.

[Wednesdays]

21. Well, with Hillary

it was always, "Buttery Males!"

[calimary]

41. Aw shit, I just got that!

Moving a little slower today...

[TeamProg]

8. Psychopath. nt

[mzmolly]

9. So Presidents are not above the law, MF?!

And WTF would Biden be prosecuted for?

I hate that POS.

[lindysalsagal]

11. Right after he builds the wall, ejects all muslims and mexicans, returns jobs to america...

He's sure all that is coming

[HuskyOffset]

18. Sorry, those items have to get in line

behind the amazing new health care plan and 50 infrastructure weeks.

[Chainfire]

12. Joe Biden's crime was whipping Trump's ass in a free and fair election. A crime that he will repeat.

[karin_sj]

13. He's so stupid

With this logic, and if the Supreme Court rules that presidents have full immunity, it stands to reason that Biden will have full immunity to do anything he wants as he is the sitting president. Perhaps he should throw Trump's ass in jail and throw away the key! 😂

[chouchou]

14. Gee, I don't know. Joe once wrote about a animal in the woods..

He wrote "This big black bare was after me". (He was 5 years old) Perhaps the Spelling Nazi's will come after him.

[CaptainTruth]

15. Biden "will be prosecuted for all of his crimes," all "none" of them.

[Historic NY]

16. Can he even name a crime?

[Red Mountain]

19. This.

How can a journalist listen to this drivel and not ask 'specifically what crime?'

'What evidence do you have that you haven't shared?'

[DENVERPOPS]

31. It is easy

if you are "masquerading" as a so-called "Journalist," working for FOX NEWS, or every single, am, right wing radio station across America. These people are nothing more than just "Talking Whores"..............

[calimary]

42. It's just all about the soundbite - that they always hope will stand on its own.

[Mad_Machine76]

36. Exactly

I just want one journalist to ask follow up questions. JUST ONE!

[hadEnuf]

23. Trump doesn't need a crime.

He just needs the power. The jackals in the press will do the rest.

This man is a clear and present danger to the country. He WILL become a dictator and tyrant if he gets power again.

[3catwoman3]

17. "I have too much respect for the office."

BULL. SHIT.

[liberalgunwilltravel]

20. Past time

It's past time to take out the trash.

[Mr. Evil]

22. "Explosive" my ass!

These are nothing more than the rantings of a chickenshit lunatic.

[nilram]

26. He was farting explosively, probably.

[Mr. Evil]

35. Hmmm...

That's it!

[LymphocyteLover]

24. He's is so dumb and deluded and generally awful in every way. HE CANNOT BE ELECTED AGAIN

[OMGWTF]

25. "I have too much respect for the office." LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!

[mn9driver]

27. All bullshit, all the time.

This is just the orange shitgibbon trying to convince the Supremely Corrupts to grant him full immunity from everything forever.

[TSExile]

30. I'm sure President Biden is shaking in his boots.

Unlike TSF, he actually has a wife who loves him and will hold his hand without grimacing!! How about that???

[ZonkerHarris]

32. waiting for Donny to stroke out so we can dance in the streets.

[chouchou]

34. Trump said "I have too much respect for the office (President of the United States)

LOL!! LOL!!! LOL!!!! That's like saying my dog has great respect for a pound of Porterhouse Steak!

[Grins]

38. Mr. Comer? Mr. Jordan? Is this the "weaponizing" of government you say you fear?

This one is going on my list of the GOP's weaponizing of government.

[calimary]

43. At this point, I'm SO DAMN SICK of the donald, that I just want to know ONE thing:

WHEN IS HE GONE???

WHEN do we NOT have to hear from him or about him ANYMORE???

WHEN are we FINALLY DONE with d.t.?

[Vinca]

44. Where's a good blood clot when you need one?

[Ford_Prefect]

47. The empty and pugnacious threats of a bully who has finally been cornered and facing discipline for his lies and abuse

[johnnyfins]

48. I'll just quote Ricky Waters(former NFL player)

For who, for what?

[dalton99a]

49. The traitor is an imminent danger.

What emerged in two interviews with Trump, and conversations with more than a dozen of his closest advisers and confidants, were the outlines of an imperial presidency that would reshape America and its role in the world. To carry out a deportation operation designed to remove more than 11 million people from the country, Trump told me, he would be willing to build migrant detention camps and deploy the U.S. military, both at the border and inland. He would let red states monitor women’s pregnancies and prosecute those who violate abortion bans. He would, at his personal discretion, withhold funds appropriated by Congress, according to top advisers. He would be willing to fire a U.S. Attorney who doesn’t carry out his order to prosecute someone, breaking with a tradition of independent law enforcement that dates from America’s founding. He is weighing pardons for every one of his supporters accused of attacking the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, more than 800 of whom have pleaded guilty or been convicted by a jury. He might not come to the aid of an attacked ally in Europe or Asia if he felt that country wasn’t paying enough for its own defense. He would gut the U.S. civil service, deploy the National Guard to American cities as he sees fit, close the White House pandemic-preparedness office, and staff his Administration with acolytes who back his false assertion that the 2020 election was stolen.

Trump remains the same guy, with the same goals and grievances. But in person, if anything, he appears more assertive and confident. “When I first got to Washington, I knew very few people,” he says. “I had to rely on people.” Now he is in charge. The arranged marriage with the timorous Republican Party stalwarts is over; the old guard is vanquished, and the people who remain are his people. Trump would enter a second term backed by a slew of policy shops staffed by loyalists who have drawn up detailed plans in service of his agenda, which would concentrate the powers of the state in the hands of a man whose appetite for power appears all but insatiable. “I don’t think it’s a big mystery what his agenda would be,” says his close adviser Kellyanne Conway. “But I think people will be surprised at the alacrity with which he will take action.”

50. So then Trump does not want immunity....

I wish he'd make up his diseased mind.

[Turbineguy]

51. I can't wait for his

autopsy pics to be published.

Not that I have any desire to see them, just to know they were taken.
