If a President has immunity he could:
- Have his political opponents killed or jailed
- Have members Supreme Court justices killed or jailed, rest would get the message and get inline.
- A few members senate and/or Congress killed or jailed, rest would get the message and get inline.
- Don't like the Press Coverage, send out a hit squad to close it down and jail the journalists...
They will be all reported as accidents by the media. This makes the president effectively a dictator, ala Putin...
Might as well get yourself rich and sell off US government assets at knock down prices to your close friends who give you kick backs. Payment is assured or nice murder squad is sent to you...
The DOJ would be his private police force, who's to stop him... Courts seem such a waste of time and unnecessary grandstanding...
This is all possible with Presidential immunity... Trump even asking for it shows he is unfit to be President.
Screw your gun rights, he doesn't want an armed population, he has absolute power and doesn't need a revolt of the people....
Any uprising would be violently quashed and military law imposed.
This is not some mythical nightmare, this is exactly how Dictators come to power, Putin, Hitler, Pinochet(Chile), Mussolini....
Trump has said a lot above in speeches...
Retribution on the Press
Social media banned
The president claims Twitter is "stifling free speech", after it added fact-check links to his posts.

Political Oppoents
Former president tells Glenn Beck he would have ‘no choice’ but to lock up opponents ‘because they’re doing it to us’

DOJ will not serve the people but Trump
Then there is the obvious thing to do... His supporters commit violent act on any one who is against them. If police did arrets them... He would pardon them. Trump aready has done that for political allies...
This is how history has taught us...
It's not just Saddam Hussein. Donald Trump has offered praise to a number of authoritarian leaders since announcing his run for president.

It is plain to see...
