Donald Trump responds to "No Kings" protests—"We're not a king" - Lemmy.World

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.

The use of the royal “we” seems to indicate otherwise…
To be honest, it probably actually was a slip of the tongue. He’s nowhere near that clever.
He says “we” all the time to refer to himself.

Plausible deniability. Like every time he says “I heard it on the news,” or “people are saying x/y/z.” It obfuscates the actual authority of what he’s saying by pawning it off on some vague entity. “I didn’t do the thing/make the call, We did.”

It’s spineless and pathetic to see world leaders talk that way. Fucking lead your goddamn country. Take ownership of this shit sandwich you’ve been making in the kitchen for four fucking years and eat it.

He only puts his name and branding on the tackiest, stupidest ideas possible. Like the “Trump Card” or the Golden Dome.
