Would the immunity cover the Insider trading?

Perhaps for him but not those around him who directly profited.

It will not for insider trading, but from what I have hard, Trump himself has basically removed himself from that risk as his kids and friends have taken on that role. He has Presidential Immunity, his minions do not.

So yes, they can be charged, as long as they haven' already received the blanket pardon.

More important to the Democrats is that they can force everyone below Trump in the Administration to testify before Congress. Charging someone with a crime is very lengthy and expensive (especially if they have money and influence) so it is much easier and cost efficient to publicly embarrass them at the bi-weekly impeachment hearings that we will have starting soon.

Yep, it's kind of sad.

If he had actually been the president he was elected by the right to be then at least half the country would have been happy.

Instead he ended up being the same Bush he came in complaining about.

Trump bears no resemblance to either Bush or their politics. They didn’t use paramilitary tactics to round up people they disliked in a xenophobic rage. Nor did they slap ill thought out tariffs on trading partners, raising the cost of living and destroying centuries of relationship building.

Now he has appointed Miller, the only one in the Trump orbit more extreme than he is, to be Chief of Staff. Trump is inviting trouble to his door, not trying to meet it halfway.

The “monuments” to his vanity won’t need to pulled down or renamed. They won’t be built. The Democrats will ensure they are surrounded in enough red tape and legal challenges to stop them for 2 years, after which they will be dropped, whoever wins in 2028.

ICE has been doing the same tasks for the last two decades. Only when people decided to try to kill them did they limit knowledge of who the officers were. They still follow the same legal processes to include executing warrants issued by judges.

You mean those nations that had tariffs on US products but US did not on theirs? Those nations? That you are advocating for taking advantage of the US isn't surprising. Very much like how you were not, and many of those "partners" are still not, meeting their obligations. I'm not sure where the idea came from that it is the obligation of the US to subsidize everyone else's defense and economy but this is an area where Trump actually has the backing of most Americans.

Trump isn't inviting trouble, his pissing off the people who voted for them over the last two years did that. I imagine that the conversation between Trump and Wiles sounded very much like Michael Corleone explaining to Tom Hagen why he was out as the Consigliere

. The war is already coming, no point in not bringing out your biggest animal to lead it. I also wouldn't be surprised to see Loomer come back more into the fold as an attack dog. The next two yeas are going to be openly nasty in a way we haven't seen since the 1960s.

The Arch is the only one is serious trouble of not being built. I was saddening that the most recent update on the Arch de Trump removed the ammunition storage, sniper hides and drones launching platforms.

The Ballroom on the other hand is absolutely going to be built although it may get delayed long enough so that Trump isn't in office when it is officially completed. There has been a requirement for a ballroom for decades, the Arch de Trump on the other hand is complete vanity at this point.

I see that the democrats have set out their priorities for tax payer money with a series of investigations and impeachments of Trump colleagues.

While the people suffer they only care about personal revenge. It's disgusting.
