That isn't quite what SCOTUS ruled.
The Supreme Court decision on Trump vs the United States ruled that the President had no immunity from unofficial acts, and for official acts it stated there was an absolute immunity from criminal prosecution when acting within the sphere of the president's core-constitutional powers, and a presumptive immunity from criminal prosecution when acting in non-core areas, but not necessarily an absolute immunity -- the official opinion of the court was that they did not need to rule on whether the immunity was absolute or only presumptive for non-core in the case of the ruling.
