Donald Trump has declared himself king. He’ll deny it if asked directly–he knows his answer should be “of course not, America has no king,” but his words say otherwise, and behind the scenes, Republicans are scrambling to change the Constitution so he CAN remain in office. He’s pushing Trump “merch” at the White House gift shop: Trump 2028 hats, shirts, mugs, coins…you name it, the fleecing of the sheep continues. Does that sound like someone who intends to leave?

He’s also been accused of being a dictator. With one breath he denies it, the next, he’s gaslighting us, telling us Americans WANT a dictator. And some of his followers do want Trump to stay in power until he dies. King or dictator? They don’t care; they’ve surrendered their autonomy and sworn their allegience to Daddy Trump.

BUT THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS DO NOT! Hence, the “No Kings” protest on June 14, 2025 and the upcoming October 18, 2025 date.

The news media isn’t showing the full scope, but MILLIONS marched across the United States in June. I anticipate MORE in October due to Trump stepping up authoritarian rhetoric and actions!

We are in precarious times!

On August 18, 2025, according to a C-SPAN headline, “Trump Quips About Canceling 2028 Elections If U.S. Is At War.”

Trump has just recently come to understand that–IF WE ARE AT WAR, HE CAN SUSPEND THE NEXT ELECTION. Please understand: TRUMP WANTS A WAR. He just changed the name of the Department of Defense to the DEPARTMENT OF WAR!! Don’t pretend he’s not serious. He is. And soon we won’t even be able to protest because First Amendment rights are under assault! Don’t think so? Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel would like a word.

And yes having a word and an opinion contrary to Trump’s is becoming grounds for prosecution. Thinned-skin wanna-be king Trump says so.

We must not capitulate. We must stand up to tyranny. We must defend our Constitution and Democracy. Don’t let this fool scare you into silence! Speak up, stand up, show up. For your friends, family, neighbors, and community.

Tell Trump: AMERICA HAS NO KING! And Justice is coming.
