Donald Trump has appointed himself King of the World. However, he is not behaving as a constitutional monarch. He and his most ardent followers believe that he rules by the divine right of kings, that he is some kind of messiah, sent by God to save America.
We all know that Trump enjoys being flattered. He enjoys being the centre of attention. He also enjoys bullying and making people fear him. Thus, he behaves like a mob boss. Many flatter him and many fear him.. I've said it before and I will say it again. Trump is no different from any bully. He is weak inside. He is insecure. He is jelly. He is mush. He reminds me of the Wizard of Oz and the emperor who wears no clothes.
Trump is so insecure that he needs to knock people down in order to build himself up. He doesn't have the moral fibre to admit his weakness. Nor does he have the humility to acknowledge his own mistakes. Even when he loses, he always declares victory. He lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden, but will never admit it. He lost the 2024 presidential debate to Kamala Harris by a long shot, but still claimed victory.
Under King Donald (or maybe we should refer to him as Emperor Donald), the United States has rejected its traditional allies in North America, Europe and Asia. It is aiding Trump's friend, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, a war criminal, in Putin's quest to destroy Ukraine and its people. The latest outrage is that the Trump administration has ended the tracking of kidnapped Ukrainian children in Russia. According to the New York Times, Democratic and Republican lawmakers have sent a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio asking whether a data base on thousands of children has been deleted.
Meanwhile, the Trump administration is also waging economic war against my country, Canada, threatening to make it, in Trump's words, "the 51st state." Trump also wants to add Greenland to his imperial conquests. Never mind that Greenland is an autonomous territory of Denmark and that Greenlanders do not want to become part of the United States. King Donald feels no need to consult the people of sovereign jurisdictions. He doesn't care what they think.
Donald Trump is a one-man wrecking crew. He is determined to impose tariffs. His tariffs will create an unnecessary trade war, causing recessions and possibly a worldwide depression. He doesn't care about ordinary Americans or people in other countries. He has no empathy for the suffering his policies will cause. He only cares about making life better for himself and his billionaire friends.
On July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was ratified by the 2nd Continental Congress, establishing the United States of America. The new republic rejected the idea of monarchy, Now, almost 250 years later, the U.S. has a president who considers himself a king.. Trump even has a court jester. Elon Musk, the wealthiest person in the world, who stands beside the king's throne. Nobody elected Musk to anything. Despite his great wealth, Musk's job is to slash government programs which actually help the poor and the downtrodden.
Poor Elon doesn't understand why people aren't purchasing his Tesla cars. He complains that they are being mean to him. Never fear, though. King Donald has came to his dear friend's recuse. The super salesman president has appeared on the White House lawn alongside Musk and a line of shiny Tesla vehicles. Words cannot express how reprehensible and unconscionable it is for the White House lawn to be transformed into a Tesla showroom. Join the resistance. Don't buy a Tesla.
