If I understood the SCOTUS ruling, if whatever a president does, decision made, etc. falls within the official duties of the office of the president, the president is immune. But if whatever he does or did, whatever decision made doesn’t fall within the official duties of the office of the president, the president is liable for his actions as any of us would be. Now I don’t speak legalese, heck, I don’t even understand legalese. This is how I understood it. The big question is how does one define the official duties of the president from those that are not official duties? That was left up to the courts, judges to decide.

As for voting for Trump, going by historical numbers, percentages, 40% of the population will vote for Trump or against any democrat. How many of that 40% are actually voting for Trump and how many are voting against any democrat due to ideological and political differences can be debated. There’s probably no way to come up with an accurate or even a ballpark figure. I tried numerous scenarios and models, but everything I tried comes up short. It amounts to a wild guess which probably would be way off.

The bottom line is Trump will get his 40%, Harris will get her 40% whether those voters are for Trump or Harris as in the person they want as the next president or are against one or the other political party, against the other party’s political ideology, philosophy etc. Those who would vote for Genghis Kahn or Atilla the Hun if they were their party’s nominee against Mother Terresa if she was the other party’s nominee.

Next question would be about the remaining 20% who basically don’t have any political ideology or philosophy, why would they vote for Trump? This latter 20% don’t pay much attention to politics in general if they pay any attention at all. Maybe they liked Trump’s slogan, maybe they heard something on TV they liked about him or disliked about Harris. Maybe they just flipped a coin or that’s who mom and dad are voting for or a peer? I don’t know and I’m not going to guess.

To be honest, I thought when all these indictments came down, federal, New York and Georgia that would destroy Trump. They didn’t. I thought when Trump sat in a court room and was found guilty in the NY fraud case and the E.J. Carrol case, that would be his end. Didn’t happened. Why that wasn’t the case, I don’t know. It makes no sense to me. I understand the partisan issues and party loyalty. That is in a normal era, but the Trump era has been anything but normal. Normalcy and sanity have deserted us I’m afraid jgw, your answers lies with someone else.


It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
