The Spin

Anti-Trump narrative

Donald Trump cannot hide behind some flawed argument of presidential immunity when it comes to his incitement of the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection. Thankfully, the court recognized that he wasn't acting out his presidential duties when he tried to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. Trump can and must be held accountable for his attempt to undermine American democracy, and this ruling is a positive step toward achieving this.

Pro-Trump narrative

The political persecution of Donald Trump continues, and it's now uprooting fundamental principles of American law. The DC Appellate Court’s decision to remove his presidential immunity opens up a can of worms that could forever alter what politicians are and are not liable for when it comes to legal proceedings. Of course, this will likely be a one-way street against Republicans, but it's interesting to see some fair-minded liberals call out the consequences of this legal assault.
