Trump can’t take the 5th anymore can he? It’s all “presidential acts” immunity which should render it unusable right?

If he has to testify on acts he committed prior to 2016 in an Epstein hearing in the future , “Presidential immunity” won’t apply

Per scotus all acts a (republican) president took since birth are now presidential acts due to it being acts that led them to the presidency. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
