to be fair, the constitution itself says that the president can not be formally charged...

doesn't mean that what you did was good either

it wouldn't be good but it won't hold any water in court either, hence why trying to sue Annoying Orange is a waste of time.

That and he can afford much better lawyers than one of these schmucks would come in with.

why would he even be sued for violence he didn't perform or incite

Because Annoying Orange is becoming the scapegoat of the left. It doesn't matter if he actually does something wrong, they will blame him for the next 8 years for literally EVERYTHING.

The right did this for obama, too. It seems like it's just the go to thing of the politicscape to blame the president for all the problems

This. Some of the criticism may be valid, but much of it is just mudslinging. It's incredibly stupid, but it is what it is at this point.

Well you can't actually bring charges against someone in office because it would completely stop the government

Donny's right

Well no, he's not. The president is another citizen of the US, regardless of status. If there was overwhelming evidence of a serious crime, yes the president can be arrested, but as far as I'm aware that's pretty much never happened and it would be handled a lot differently than for an ordinary citizen.

But this wouldn't be something like trying to charge Donald with assault, this would be suing for damages, to which the court ruled that yes, he can be sued. Whether or not they'll follow through is a different story.

I don't know if you can actually sue Annoying Orange for violence at his rallies because there's an extremely tenuous connection between him and the people actually doing crimes. It would be like trying to sue J.D. Salinger for the death of John Lennon, just because Catcher in the Rye inspired Mark David Chapman.

Doesn't make Annoying Orange's justification here any less handicapped, but I don't think anyone would be able to sue him for this.
