Exactly my point.

The law is only work as far as someone will enforce them, and it's not that Trump supporters are promoting him above the law, but rather that as we've seen, no enforcement entity in any state, local, or federal jurisdiction has determined that he would be subject to penalty as per the law.

He's not above the law. The law just hasn't come down on him.

To be clear, though, it's generally up to the head of the executive branch of any government as to whether to charge someone with a crime. It's certainly the case for the federal government, so if you or I would have liked Trump to have been charged during Obama or Biden terms we should hold that against Obama and Biden.

I certainly do.

The president is in charge of the federal executive branch, including the charging of people who have broken the law.

It's very important to hold presidents accountable for the actions or inactions of their executive branch
