Yeah, no.

How does that conflict with what I wrote?

Trump alleges that his conduct (communicating with state officials) was part of his lawful job. The government disagrees. SCOTUS specifically holds that this not conduct that is presumptively immune, but instead is conduct that the government might prevail in arguing is not part of the President's lawful job.

There will be disagreements over what is a lawful part of the President's job. Those disagreements will be resolved in the courts. But if something is not a lawful part of the President's job, the majority opinion does not extend immunity to it.
