Firstly, that legal idea is not factually true, not that Trump supporters are particularly familiar with the facts.
Even as president Trump was and is subject to state and local laws. He should have been charged already if local, state, or federal governments believed him to have broken those laws.
But from what I hear from so many Trump supporters, they’re not trying to shield him from legal accountability for what he did. They honestly just don’t believe he did it.
And for better or worse the circuses (multiple) that have sprung up around his legal challenges already have fed into that perception.
But again, the way our legal system works there have been numerous governments in positions to try him for these allegations, and they haven’t. So by law, with him being subject to our laws, he’s not ducking any laws so far.
