A recent Supreme Court ruling suggests that US President Donald Trump could potentially avoid criminal prosecution for actions related to official duties during his second term. The ruling, a 6-3 decision supported by the court's conservative majority, could grant the president unprecedented immunity akin to kinglike powers. This immunity may enable Trump to engage in various illegal activities, such as offering and accepting bribery, selling influence, extortion, obstructing justice, manipulating financial markets, and using private email for secrecy, with little to no legal repercussions. If Trump wins re-election, the ruling could shield him from federal prosecution and pave the way for unchecked misconduct. However, the ruling does not protect unofficial acts and may still face challenges and further legal action in defining the extent of presidential immunity.
