I'll admit...I'm triggered. Our President tweeted this.

Our administration is one of two things:

They are 12 years old

Or

They want a dictatorship or monarchy.

You're not a patriot if you want either.

MAGATs: "He doesn't really mean he's the King!"

Added to my #bumplater Political Board hashtag. If we still have any semblance of a democracy left, this one will age about as badly as a tweet can.

(Can you imagine if a previous Dem President had posted this? Deplorables would have been so triggered that they'd have already accidentally shot themselves in the leg en route to the White House to assassinate them. 🙄 )
 
The wealthy residents of New York have always made fun of Trump. To them, he is a laughable lump of vulgar shit. But he remains desperate for their approval, which explains his simpleminded attempt to be the city’s “savior” by removing a toll that is good for lower Manhattan.
 
remind me, didn't the US fight a war of independence from this sort of thing???

President Donald Trump is branding himself a monarch.
...
“CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED,” Trump wrote on his social platform Truth Social. “LONG LIVE THE KING!”

The official White House social media accounts on X, Instagram and Facebook soon quoted his post, all sharing a fake magazine cover depicting an illustration of Trump smiling in a suit — and wearing a bejeweled golden crown. In the corner of the magazine cover appears the text: “LONG LIVE THE KING.”

Trump has also sought to consolidate even more power. Earlier this week, he signed an executive order essentially declaring legal authority over independent agencies such as the Federal Communications Commission and the Securities and Exchange Commission, stating that only he and the attorney general could interpret law for the executive branch.

If he's not stopped now, if senators and house representatives don't stand up to this uber power-grab NOW, be prepared to be ordered to celebrate the day of his birthday as proposed this week.
 
Say, how come Schoolhouse Rock never did a piece on the Civil War?

They probably didn't feel it was as high a priority to re-educate Americans on that topic.

I used to feel that way too. And yet, here we are.

He's really stupid to give his enemies an opportunity like that to demonstrate!

his supporters will claim it's just another shiny object he's baiting libs with; many of his detractors will say it's just another shiny distraction as he lets musk dismantle the functions of government

they are not mutually exclusive, but it's also a clear signal of his desires and plants seeds in the muck-fertile brains of his fans that he'd see grow and grow until him being crowned king by 'the masses' seems almost acceptable to them.
 
Trump is portraying himself as King purely because he's triggered by the internet calling Musk, 'President'.
 
Trump is a master at triggering the leftie democrats quite nicely. 😎

You'll notice Schoolhouse Rock never did a piece on the Civil Rights movement either.

And their piece on American territorial expansion, "Elbow Room," almost ignored the existence of the Indians, and never once mentioned the Mexican-American War.

But they had to do one on the women's suffrage movement! For all the little white girls!
