Trump Appeals, Citing Immunity. Others, Not So Lucky.
Donald Trump's team is appealing his hush money conviction, citing the Supreme Court's deliberations on presidential immunity. While the gears of justice grind slowly for a former president, protected by a system designed to shield power, the broader implications of such 'immunity' echo far beyond a Manhattan courthouse. The media, however, rarely applies this same critical lens to leaders
shielded by geopolitical immunity. Where is the MSNBC breakdown of the immunity enjoyed by leaders who preside over documented humanitarian crises, safe from accountability thanks to unwavering U.S. support? One might wonder if 'immunity' is simply a privilege reserved for a select few, whether they're former American presidents or current heads of state responsible for alleged war crimes (see
reporting from Human Rights Watch on Gaza).
