Everyone seems to be calling this "blanket immunity" but that's not right. It's immunity for official acts which are the prerogative of the president. Basically the president is allowed to do all presidential things without having to worry about whether it will be deemed illegal.

This doesn't mean that the president cannot be tried for some illegal act that was not their official duty. Murdering someone, for example.
