In his campaign speech, former U.S. President Donald Trump cited the atomic bombing of Truman, who at the time decided to drop the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and said that he was able to do so because he had immunity. I developed my theory that it should be done.
Trump spoke to supporters in Manchester, the state's largest city, on the night of the 20th, ahead of the eastern New Hampshire primary election, the second round of the Republican presidential nomination process.
Trump said of President Truman, who was the president at the time who decided to drop the atomic bomb, ``I wouldn't have done it on Hiroshima or Nagasaki if I was going to be prosecuted by hostile forces,'' and claimed that President Truman was able to do it because he had immunity. Did.
He then stated, ``You should grant immunity to the president,'' citing the atomic bombing, and advanced his opinion that the president should be granted immunity.
He also said of the dropping of the atomic bomb, ``I can't say it was a good thing, but it ended World War II.''
Trump has been indicted for attempting to overturn the results of the presidential election held the year before in connection with the storming of the U.S. Capitol three years ago, and the president has immunity. The case is being challenged in a federal appeals court, arguing that the law applies.
It appears that behind his remarks was the aim of emphasizing the validity of his own claims.
