Kings are unfit to rule the US. We are not, nor do we ever want to be, a Monarchy. Obama was our best recent President, a real President who acted like one, and I would not have him King. No Kings. Never.

Obama, the President who gave an airplane full of pallets of American cash to Iran? Obama does not come up on any lists of great presidents.

Obama and Biden rule trump, always will, I can prove it. trump continually brings up Obama and Biden, as no other President has done, because they live in his head as his superiors, frustrating him. Most Presidents are too busy running the country to be bothered with talk about their predecessors.

Biden was the worst in history.

Obama was the second worst president in history, thanks to Biden. They both bailed Carter out.

We deserve to take a stand as long as it's not harmful to others. If MAGA could protest the way they did, then our peaceful protest should be just fine. We the People didn't agree to a king, who can just go out and do what he wants, no matter what.

If Trump was the King, he would not tolerate activist judges nor silly protests. Think about what you are claiming.

With the current administration willfully ignoring court rulings, and acting lawlessly, these protests are a necessary step in voicing discontent.

Trump obeys every simple activist judge, until an appeals court overturns their illegal decision.

No

If Trump was a King, he would not have allowed the protesters to assemble. But, that's too hard for the Left to understand, and it doesn't fit the narrative. LOL

I voted no because I am stunned anyone has the time to dedicate to such a seemingly petty concern in the real world of adult humans. Locally, yes, I have heard that we have a problem with what appears to be "Kings and Queens" running the city and infecting the country government.

Trump and his goons in every state in every department are running it into the ground acting like it's the best thing ever and it's not. People are suffering now more then his first term or even during Biden term

> "Trump and his goons" Goons? It's 2025. Trump is a lot of things, but comparing he and his team continued success to a childish name, you need better sources of your insults. For example, stop using The Rolling Stone as a primary news source.

Then, you prefer the 9% inflation for 4 straight years, instead of 2.9%. Where did you get your economics degree?

That was during a period of worldwide inflation ... and we were actually doing better than most other advanced countries. Inflation is higher now than when Biden left office.

Compare November 2025 to November 2026 ... roughly same and 2026 figure was held down by the government shutdown. Let's check back at this time next year and you try to explain away the recession.

Inflation is less than 1/3rd of when Biden was in office. Fix your calculator.

Biden tactics were destroying the world's economies.

The U.S. dollar dominates the world economy due to its role as the primary reserve currency, backed by the massive U.S. economy, unmatched financial market liquidity, and historical inertia since the 1944 Bretton Woods system. It facilitates 88% of global exchange transactions, 54% of trade

Incidentally, our previous president has not acquired enough money to build his presidential library, not even enough money for a presidential magazine stand.

I didn't but have total support for the vast majority of what he has accomplished and is trying to accomplish. The country was harmed greatly by the Democrats, they plundered our wealth, Republicans also played a hand. No more.

Do a little research on how our national debt has grown under republican presidents compared to democrats. Also see how Reagan and "trickle down economics" is what put us on the path to financial ruin while creating the tremendous wealth inequality we see today.

Going back nearly fifty years, when I was in the military, and Carter was the president, the military was starving. As an E-6 with a wife and two children, legally, I qualified for food stamps. Instead, I got a part-time job. Carter, was a far better president than Obama, and Biden. Facts are tough.

You got tired of that with 8 years of Obama and 4 years of Biden. That's over, now.
