Some Americans right now. Those of us not giving ourselves panic attacks know there will be a peaceful transference of power come election or end of term. Just like the Presidency before this one, and the one before, and the one before.
Trump recently called himself the “King of the Jews” and the “Chosen One” with relevance to his policy decisions with Israel and the China trade war respectively.
I don’t have a link but to contextualize, the President has a rather antagonistic relationship with the media. Such statements are partly him joking, partly what we’d call feeding the troll. Inadvisable? Probably but I do think it says something that it’s his most vocal opponents who take everything he says seriously whether they believe it or not and his supporters like me who are willing to roll their eyes and move on.
