His immunity defense isn’t merely a legal argument. He’s priming his base to back wanton lawbreaking if he wins back the White House.

    Sulla wanted to take his revenge against the former supporters, who had declared him a public enemy in 88 BC. After having obtained a positive vote from a popular assembly, he published two lists with the names of his enemies. Those on the lists had their lives and property forfeit; rewards were given to those who assassinated the victims.

    I believe that is Trump’s plan. To have his base murder his enemies by offering them part of the spoils.

      He might offer them part of the spoils, but there’s no chance they ever actually see any of it. Dude is famous for not paying his bills, why would he start now?
