Donald Trump on Saturday posted seven pages of social media rants about how he is "entitled" to full presidential immunity from all criminal charges, causing legal experts and political onlookers to rage over the messages.
"IF THEY TAKE AWAY MY PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY, THEY TAKE AWAY CROOKED JOE BIDEN’S PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY," Trump wrote in the first post on the subject Saturday.
That stood out to former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance, who said, "My initial reaction is that this is dumb because Joe Biden doesn't need presidential immunity, he hasn't committed any crimes. But more properly read, this is a threat."

"Trump is saying he will come after Biden if he's elected," Vance added. "He'll be a dictator in more than just day one."
Former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann also chimed in.
"Still hasn't occurred to Flatulence J. Trump that if Biden has presidential immunity he could arrest and detain without trial, Trump, his family, and every one of his supporters and never face consequences. Oh and cancel the election. You want to play this game, MAGA? You lose."
"Or a president could just **not** do crimes," said columnist Molly Jong-Fast wrote in response. She has covered Trump's various legal troubles.
Former state and federal prosecutor Ron Filipkowski appeared to agree with Vance that Trump was attempting to threaten the president.
"The mob boss threatens to prosecute Biden if he wins," he wrote Saturday.
