To clarify for anyone who missed it:
Trump made a law that states that the president of the US is above the law.
This means that, even after the next election, he could remain president, since the laws that prevent this don’t apply to him. He could also just straight up shoot one in the streets and wouldn’t be able to be punished.
Wait really lol? Idk how this could legally have happened? And why isnt this across the news (nobody is allowed to say some degree of "but that's what they want you to think") lol

Yeah, I don’t think it got a lot of coverage.
What makes you think this did not get a lot of coverage?
Wtf lol
To clarify, Trump passed no such law. It was a supreme court ruling that happened last year, during the end of Biden's presidency. It only applies to official actions, so could be interpreted to not apply to violations while campaigning for office (but this is the same supreme court that put the presidency above the law)
It gives the president unchecked power, if they choose to abuse it
