To a non-American it appears that as much as the source of this insane situation can be blamed on Trump and the Supreme Court the blame is much more wide spread as it seems that the country has had the disturbing, absurd idea that presidents and ex-presidents and presidential candidates are above the law for a very long time and it still seems a common belief in the United States. Evidence for that is that in all the many, many times that commentors have said that if Trump wins the election he can make this case go away not a single time has the commentator said that if Trump as president made this case go away that he would or should be arrested immediately for corruption. For Trump to make this case go away would be the most extreme example of political corruption in American history and yet not one American political commentator has said that he should be arrested and charged for corruption for doing that as apparently all American political commentators think that presidents should never face legal accountability for corruption no matter how serious and extreme the corruption is. Maybe the United States would have gotten over this ludicrous concept of presidential immunity if Richard Nixon had gone to prison. I imagjne that a big reason why Americans think that presidents should have presidential immunity is that so many presidents have done so many illegal and horrific things in other countries or have given support to foreign regimes that have done illegal, horrific things. One can't help but notice that the United States does not recognize the International Criminal Court as having jurisdiction over American citizens and the United States even has a law that if any country arrests an American and plans to send that American to the International Criminal Court the United States will invade that country to "rescue" that accused war criminal. Obviously its most likely high ranking officials who might be tried by the International Criminal court and there is no American official higher than the president.
