Shitty Ask Lemmy

you'd think so, but as it appears not all laws apply if you've got enough money (which usually also equals power). Being a president kinda complicates this tho, because a 1st world president isn't supposed to be too rich (and powerful) and thus immune from laws, lest those countries be the same as the unwashed barbarous masses of 3rd world countries. They aren't Africans, after all.
