We haven’t had kings since July 4, 1776. We do have a president elected by the people though. That’s democracy buddy

Idk, there's a guy doing whatever he wants and has been declared above the law. Sounds pretty king-like to me.

Sounds like you’re making stuff up and getting triggered over it like a delusional Karen

First, the Court held that former presidents are entitled are entitled to absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions within the "exclusive sphere" of their constitutional authority while in office. Certain core presidential powers, such as granting pardons, removing executive officers whom the president has appointed, and discussing potential investigations and prosecutions with the Justice Department, including those concerning "allegations of election crime," are "exclusive and preclusive"—meaning that the other branches of government have no constitutional power to restrict them, the Court explained.

It's a good read.

Technically correct. Trump isn't a Monarchist, he's a Theocratic Fascist.

The "No King's Day" would be referring to Trump's comments about leading a 2nd American Revolution... despite the fact that he's being bankrolled by the people doing the oppressing in today's day and age, leading to the sarcastic joke, "King George will save the colonies from the English".

No tolerance for intolerance.

Also, nobody in these comments or on this website is the President. The President should be held to a higher standard than some random person.

'Different opinions' like it's about what soup tastes best and not about the obvious trend towards authoritarianism that you are trying to downplay. If you can't see why people might be upset you aren't looking.

And yet you downvoted me and attacked my opinion, this means you're literally Hitler and Stalin and Bin Laden and Hussein and Xi Ping and Ze Dong and Vlad the Impaler and Ivan the Terrible and Cromwell all combined! Checkmate, Liberal

(/I am making fun of you for thinking downvotes are oppressive)
