Lots of people seem to be saying that once a President is immune from prosecution and is above the law he's no longer a president but a king!
Course, the King hasn't been above the law since the Magna Carta in like 1215.
More than Eight Hundred Years since we figured out that in fact, no, kings should not be above the law.
You're thinking of a dictator or emperor or something. Kings have to follow the laws.

the colonial experience of slave owners being told they needed to be paid taxes, but weren't allowed to go spread west to murder and enslave the locals and steal all their land because Britain had a treaty with the locals that explicitly promised that Britain wouldn't do that?
Oh, they were SO fucking oppressed by the king.
