USA court decision on presidential immunity

I do not understand how it could turn out like this. Can anyone explain in an unbiased way how it is constitutionally correct?

It's reasonable. It's like the police have the right to bypass traffic laws in pursuit of their role to protect our citizens. They have the right to detain people and can't be charged with kidnapping. All in their role as police officers.

@OldMan70 Yes, and when they are abused they can be fired by their superiors; and if not their superiors may be fired, or whoever the elected official over them may be voted out of office.

The president may direct the military to shoot down what he/she believes an attacking airplane. He/she won't be charged with murder, or have to surrender to anyone trying to arrest him/her.

Other branches of the government and citizens have special rights. Members of congress have the right to lie to us. Judges can't be arrested for bad judgements. We can't be arrested for praying. The press has all kinds of special rights.
