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.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulla's_proscription

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.
