🗣️ Trump said he does not consider himself a king because he “goes through hell to make decisions,” adding, “We are not kings, thank you very much. A king wouldn’t tolerate that.”
📅 In February, he compared himself to a king when commenting on attempts to cancel toll payments in New York, and the official White House page even posted his photo with a crown.
⚖️ However, a court blocked his decision to cancel congestion charges.
💼 Trump distances himself from the idea of royal power but simultaneously holds official events with monarchic symbolism, pardoning Capitol riot participants and other political allies.
📜 He issued over 150 decrees deemed beyond his authority by courts, purged opponents from government, and criticized judges who ruled against him.
⚔️ Trump uses the June 14 military parade to demonstrate military power and threatens protesters with “very strong force,” without distinguishing between peaceful actions and violence.
✊ The “No Kings” organizers deliberately avoid demonstrations in Washington, urging participants to act regionally and join their flagship march in Philadelphia.
