The Spin
Pro-Trump narrative
Democrats are desperate to take down Trump and stop him from cruising to victory in 2024. The plan has been obvious from the start, but we now know that a lead prosecutor and romantic partner of partisan Democrat Fani Willis was meeting with the Biden White House before Georgia’s indictments even came out. Not only are corrupt prosecutors targeting Trump, but they are also enriching their corrupt friends in the process.
Anti-Trump narrative
Trump is as wrong as he is desperate, claiming that he could essentially commit any crime with impunity since he served as president. While there is some presidential immunity for executive decisions that presidents make, it is absurd to claim that Trump’s efforts to overturn the election results were part of a president’s job description. Trump was acting as a candidate during his efforts to undermine Georgia and the US' democracy.
