Donald Trump has responded to planned “No Kings” protests against his leadership, saying “we’re not a king at all.”
Demonstrations targeting him are planned nationwide on Saturday, the same day as a military parade celebrating the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary in Washington, D.C, which coincides with the president’s 79th birthday.
Trump isn’t a king the same way Augustus wasn’t a king—they became something even more extreme, while dressing themselves up in the shells of the republican institutions they destroyed.

So he’s too stupid to know about the royal “we.”
That figures.
C’mon guys…everyone knows he prefers, “God Emperor”.
Hm, enormous corpulent worm? Maybe
Except that worm was Prescient. Trump has so far shown no sentience, let alone prescience.
Well, in this timeline, it’s the Onion version of Dune.

His reasoning as to not being a king is that he’s trying to be a king and it’s harder than he expected? Is the sword of damocles too scary for him??
Completely unrelated, but the band Sleep Token released a song title Damocles in their recent album, and it’s great. The whole album and everything they release is great, but I am particularly fond of Damocles.
Damoclese is dope. Caramel hits hard in the feels for me. Just feel for Vessel.
I love the whole album. Caramel definitely has some weight to it. I don’t know Even in Arcadia is better than Take me Back to Eden, but it’s close if it’s not.
Yeah, both albums are stellar. Can’t really choose between them.
"Calm down folks, and I mean folks, there are no kings here. Just one, me! The best king with the very most words. Make my bank account Grat again and go fuck yourself! See you in the Golfclub losers. "
+1, but one small edit, “…in the Golfclub SUCKERS and losers.”
It says “No kings”. We’re allowed to have one.

Can’t even read that shit hole with all the pop ups
What is with people not using the proper intenret protection thats standard nowadays? Get ublock origin.
Ublock doesn’t work on all phones homie
Why’d you get one where it doesn’t? 🤔
I mean we can get mad at phone manufacturers all we want but the problem exists before them and ublock. If everyone had a blocker they’d just find a way around it.
There are comparable adblockers on every major phone type nowadays, anything too old for them probably won’t be compatible with modern web anyways…
Poop ups
Arguing over the technicality of a word vs his actions. Children do this.
And we are not amused.
The use of the royal “we” seems to indicate otherwise…
Funny, I thought it was the godly we as in the father, the son, and the orange doofus.
To be honest, it probably actually was a slip of the tongue. He’s nowhere near that clever.
Right, he’s legitimately not intelligent enough to realize he came close to an actual fucking joke.
He says “we” all the time to refer to himself.
The royal “we”

He’s not using the royal “we”—that’s a common point of confusion. He’s actually using the caesaropapal “we”.
You, Lemonspeed, and I all joined Lemmy the same day.
I was curious so I checked and apparently I beat you by one day. I wonder what the date distribution looks like around that time for people joining.
A pretty high peak I’m guessing. My two years is in 3 days.

The resulting outcry from the Reddit community ultimately led to a planned protest, from June 12 to 14 in which moderators for the site would make their communities private or would restrict posting.
You must’ve been smarter than us.
JUNE 13TH WOO! 🎂
He means him and Steven Miller
Don’t forget meth gnome and the world’s oldest boy
I gotta ask, who is the Meth Gnome? Cause that’s an awesome insult.
Kristi Noem I’d assume, look at SD’s meth campaign.

Ohhhh, look who’s trying to weasel out of his customary BEHEADING.

Beautifully stated, thank you.
Not in real life but he plays one on TV
Problem is, he plays one in real life too.
Not going to lie, I’m really irritated that his birthday falls on the exact date of this anniversary… He can have his birthday dictator worship and claim that’s not what it’s for and make us look “ungrateful to the army” for protesting it…
Might get lucky this year and cancel the military parade due to thinderstorms
One service member already died in training for the parade. I’m sure a few more aerial vehicle and crew won’t bother him.
Wait what?
The entire Donald Trump arc is proof that God exists and wants to punish humanity.
