Time magazine called the ex-president’s plans ‘an imperial presidency that would reshape America and its role in the world’

Donald Trump has warned that Joe Biden and his family could face multiple criminal prosecutions once he leaves office unless the US supreme court awards Trump immunity in his own legal battles with the criminal justice system.

In a sweeping interview with Time magazine, Trump painted a startling picture of his second term, from how he would wield the justice department to hinting he may let states monitor pregnant women to enforce abortion laws.

Trump made the threat against the Biden family in an interview with Eric Cortellessa of Time, in which he shared the outlines of what the magazine called “an imperial presidency that would reshape America and its role in the world”.

      He still doesn’t have an actual legal case against the Bindens either, despite a LOT of Russian support trying to falsify something.

        He won’t need any. Can just “trump” up some charges (pun not intended). He’ll be a dictator, it won’t matter. He could shoot them on 5th Ave. and no one would say a thing

          Stop with the nonsense that Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump has already completely enshitified the country. It wouldn’t work because (1) the judge would throw out the case, and (2) no grand jury would vote to proceed. That is why Bill Barr refused Treason Trump’s order to prosecute Hillary Clinton.

          Trump has already tried this and failed.

      Yeah, I kind of always assumed that there were some skeletons in Hillary’s closet, but if Trump’s AGs didn’t even find anything that warranted an investigation…
