Haha sorry Trump, the Republicans already established that wasn't true when Bill Clinton was being sued for harassment.
This is why we generally elect people who don't spit out the first thing that comes to mind in every situation - all too easy for the courts to use his words (and tweets) against him.
There's a reason dog whistles exist, bud (thank god he's too dumb to use 'em right)

Trump thinks he's Judge Dredd or something.

I'm sure they'll conveniently reverse this.

So I take it the next step is arson in the Capitol building?
The sad part is that he is right about what Trump said. Trump did encourage his supporters to assault protesters and did say he would pay for the legal fees. Doesn't make him right to assault anyone, but this just shows how dangerous Trump, his careless remarks, and his supporters are.
Not that Trump isn't culpable, but further proof that Republicans can't ever accept responsibility for their own actions.
Actually, that seems to go for most people these days. Deny, deflect, project, until you absolutely have no other option and, even then, try and share the blame with someone else.
If we learned to live with the consequences of our actions, maybe we'd suffer a little embarrassment, but we'd be a lot better off as a civilization.

Nah, he's not Dredd - Dredd is a stickler and lives for the law.
Trump is mad Judge Cal, impulsive and vain, appointing a fish as Deputy Chief Judge.
"I'm the President, therefore anything I do is legal" has been Donald's mantra since the beginning.

Yea but the left was funded by Soros who secretly met with Hillary at a pizza store to discuss emails and how to start wars.

He's only got a few years on the president, after all.
I'd rather he not. If he wins with his argument of "Trump said it was okay" then that might lead other people to think that they can do anything so long as Trump said it was okay at some point.

His were the only rallies at of all the candidates that had the most violence. I saw a white old guy cold cocked a black man in the face, caught on video too. Interviewed later he flat out said he would might end up killing him.
And fuck off saying you can't get into trouble because you are President. You aren't a king. I hope you get sued off your ass.

But once again its on video, coming out of his mouth. He really can't say he never said it, when clearly he did.

You don't get to bring friends.
"He meant that as a metaphor"
That's your prerogative.
The moment Trump said I'll pay you're legal fees he became a culpable instigator in my book.
This is why wet good people in leadership positions to higher standards than the crowd.
It doesn't matter. He doesn't have to say anything anymore. The world in his head took a magnificent turn when he had the power of voice attached to an explosive following, AND news outlets worked overtime to protect him from prosecution. Now, it's gone to places we can't relate to, where he literally has the power of pretend as an absolute shield. And if that doesn't get it done, if make believe doesn't work, he's got a country under his thumb to punish whenever he feels slighted.

Wrong. Everything he says DOES matter, because it can be used against him in the courts.
He's not invincible.

That was different, cause he was ruining America. But Our Dearest Leader Trump is making America great again so he can't be tied down by something as silly as the law. Alle hagel unseren lieben Führer Trump!
He can pardon himself if its a federal crime, but he cannot pardon himself if its a state crime or if he is being impeached
I thought Clinton's line of reasoning was that the trial should have been delayed until after his presidency because he was too busy (which his very next vacation day proved was not true).
