No kings protest

Letter submission: You can fool most of the people most of the time, but then along comes “No Kings” day
President Trump doesn’t like the idea of people protesting that he has become a king: “I don’t feel like a king; I have to go through hell to get stuff approved.”
I think the chief executive is on to something here. If he were really a king, his unilateral edicts would be enforced on the nation with little to no pushback from anywhere. He is up to speed with the regular publishing of edicts, but he is getting a little bit of pushback here and there on implementing them, so his crown sits just a little bit precariously on his head.
“He (a king) wouldn’t have to call up [Speaker] Mike Johnson and [Senate Majority Leader John] Thune and say, ‘fellas you got to pull this off’ and after years we get it done,” he added. “No, no we’re not a king. We’re not a king at all.”
Number 47 is clearly chafing at the fact he has to get the help of others to get things done and that stuff takes an extended period of time to get done. A true king would have the full faith and credit of the people for whatever he wants to do, and it would get done pronto. Yep, he would much rather be the real deal. The real deal has God, an established church, and all the fawning, ignorant people worshipping him, not protesting against him.
Also, a real king’s statements cannot be contradicted without risk to health and property, even when the dissent is made by a judge, a Congressperson, a newscaster, military brass, leaders of other nations . . . you get the picture. A real king is King! Trump is not quite there yet.
