    trump just about is king in all but name:
    He stands above the law.
    Holds his court with his chosen sycophants.
    Writes edicts and decrees for those below him to live by.
    Hands out pardons only to those who please him.
    Takes “gifts” and makes them his personal property.
    Claims his status to be divine and scolds religious leaders.
    Demands to have a ballroom, and most likely wants another palace after that.
    Erects monuments and renames buildings in his name.
    Is normalizing that he does not have to leave his position.

    So, yeah, when will he just claim the title of King to get it solidified?

      That’s why I appreciated the renaming of Department of War. It’s pretty much the only honest thing this admin has ever said. When’s the last time the US “defended” something?
