Answer: exempt or protected

Step-by-step explanation:

The adjective immune is gotten from immunis which is a Latin word for “exempt from public service.”

To be immune means to be protected or exempted from a particular thing. With regards to the excerpt, the President had by no means been immune from these attacks simply means that the president hasn't been exempted or protected from the attack.
