A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots. 15786472562

As a historian, I'd say the legality of Trump's immunity and pardons depends on how he leaves office. At 40 over 55 approval? He's immune. At 25 over 65? He's probably not immune & self-pardons aren't legal. 20957177
