The Spin
Anti-Trump narrative
SCOTUS' presidential immunity ruling is setting up the US to become a dictatorship. And, as expected, Trump's lawyers wasted little time in requesting that the former president's sentencing be postponed and his convictions be overturned. Now Trump is unlikely to be held accountable for any illegal actions he's taken in the past and could have free reign if he's reelected this fall.
Pro-Trump narrative
Democrats and others on the left are throwing a fit over SCOTUS' immunity ruling, but Trump's lawyers have argued all along that much of the evidence in the New York case and other cases was inadmissible. Now, they've been proven correct. While it's good news that the former president's sentencing has been postponed, it's now time to reconsider the New York verdict because there's a strong chance Trump will be exonerated.
