Unfortunately, this may be exactly why they aren't trying to get him back. The entire reason he was in the US, was because he was being threatened by a gang in El Salvador.

So, is your account just restricted in Turkey? Or everywhere, based on local Turkish law?
It's truly bizarre that the accusation of being a gang member was upheld by the judge, due to him "failing to present evidence" that he was not a gang member. How the fuck is he supposed to provide evidence of something that doesn't exist?
So, I guess this means we're not going to colonize Mars anymore?
Except, that's NOT the freedom he was given. That's what he's doing...but that was not what the Supreme Court ruled.
"Saving taxpayers money", by forcing them to drive everywhere.
Did they leave the feet on your pillow? That means they love you.
What else are you supposed to call them? Rose? Red? C'mon.
That is a very good point.
They didn't really, though. They gave him immunity from being prosecuted for what he does as president...but that doesn't mean everything he does is legal. His orders can still be struck down in court (or at least they should be).
The problem right now, is the fact that he is just ignoring the court's orders. That is still illegal, even if he may not necessarily be prosecuted for it later. We'll see what happens though. At some point the law needs to either hold up against him, or it means nothing, and the Constitution itself is no longer valid.
Did any of these people even try and explain to him how tariffs actually work...or was that a step too far?

From the way it was framed in the ruling itself, it seems like they were trying to legitimize the actions of past presidents, as well as insulate Trump from prosecution.
Every president in recent history, and many more beyond that, were guilty of crimes committed in the name of the office. Whether it be human rights violations, war crimes, or simply playing fast and loose with their Constitutional authority. Every single one of the living presidents should have been charged with all kinds of shit, due to their official actions. Bush for Iraq. Obama for his drone program. Trump for his handling of Covid. All of them are responsible for the deaths of tens or even hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians both in the US and around the world.
By all legal accounts, they should all be rotting in prison for what they did as president. But they aren't. It's always been a matter of unnoficial precedent that once they leave office, the slate is wiped clean. That seems to be what they were clarifying with the Trump ruling. All is forgiven, as long as it was an "official act", in the service of the country.
The problem is, rather than close that loophole in the system, they chose to legitimize it. And now we have someone who has no problem abusing that privilege, in power again.
