A president steeped in constitutional lore might have been offended by claims he’s acting as a king.
But Donald Trump and his entourage responded with mockery to weekend “No Kings” protests by millions of Americans — embracing the narrative in a way that explains his growing hubris and belief that he has unchecked power.
The president and Vice President JD Vance this weekend both posted AI memes to social media depicting Trump in a crown. The one Trump shared was a mocked-up vision of the president flying a fighter jet emblazoned with “KING TRUMP” appearing to dump raw sewage on protesters. In Vance’s troll on Bluesky, a site popular with liberals, prominent Democrats knelt as supplicants in a royal court before Trump, the divine and absolute ruler.
It was a clever political trick. MAGA supporters can blast anyone who takes offense to the posts as lacking a sense of humor and being prim. The posts also trivialize protesters’ gravely serious claims that America is witnessing a wannabe autocrat. But they also subtly advance the thesis that Trump is all-powerful and immune from dissent, an attractive proposition to voters who like a strongman....

Joe Biden wanted to send F16s against MAGA
LOL! These mockingbird losers are really laying it on thick now. So pathetic.
That’s because they are all mental cases. This protest proved it. Looked like a lunatic convention.

A King would not have allowed their protest. They are ridiculous!
NoKings creeps looked like Old hippies who fried their brains on drugs

He looks like a power bottom too.
What unitigate BS...
Morons will be morons...
CNN has even lower ratings than MSNBC. That’s saying something.
If Trump were the autocrat that CNN and Stephen Collinson suppose him to be, CNN would be off the air and Collinson would be in prison
They are all stupid. They scream “Democracy” and don’t understand that a true Democracy would one powerful person in charge. Like a King.
That part wasn't AI. That was real. They were kneeling in supplication to King Political Correctness.
I remember El Rush-Bo pointing out that one of the MSLSD "Prime Time" shows had an average of 1,000 viewers per State.
Rush made an "executive decision" to ban any and all MSLSD clips, stories, etc because 15 seconds on the Rush Limbaugh Radio Show would receive more audience than a years worth of regular MSLSD programming.
As usual, Rush was right.
Looked like your typical NEA picket line.

Is this the first instance of a Trans-Journalist ?
The article sure looks like it was written by a woman.
This is why conservative memes must be outlawed. /s
I’m sure King George III would’ve resorted to AI memes in response to that whole Boston Harbor thing if AI memes were around back then.
