Every interview with Trump from here on out should begin with "Do you think a president who orders the assassination of his rivals is immune from prosecution?" (also every senate confirmation hearing for any future Trump administration). #uspolitics
@TwShiloh keep in mind that beginning interviews that way only encourage Trump's voters and play into his claims that the media is out to get him.
A whole lot of the country believes it to be flat out factually false that Trump ordered the assassination of his rivals, so starting an interview that way only makes the interviewer look unhinged to them.
@TwShiloh the problem I'm highlighting is that such questions help convince potential Trump voters to vote for the guy.
I don't think you get anywhere legally with the question, but you do play into his campaign strategy of acting like the press is out to get him.
@volkris I think potential Trump voters are lost and going to vote for him anyway. I’m hoping to convince those voters on the fence or those thinking of lodging a protest vote.
🤷♂️ I guess it doesn’t really matter as it wouldn’t happen anyway.
@TwShiloh well that's what I meant by potential Trump voters, the ones on the fence who would even consider voting for the guy.
We've already seen the prosecutions sway so many toward voting for him when they had been looking for other candidates.
This is all playing into Trump's strategy by confirming the nonsense he spews about being a victim.
@volkris I'm not sure you'll ever convince them...I think the question is relevant given the defense being made in court today where his defense has just said that the President would be immune from prosecution unless he was indicted and convicted by Congress first.
