Democrats cry “No Kings” while wielding royal power—raiding rivals, silencing dissent, and crowning heirs without a single vote.
So-called King, Donald Trump, ran in two contested Republican primaries.
He ran three times in a general election.
He was elected twice, and his party recently won a Republican Congress.
In contrast, in 2020, Joe Biden did not run a typical campaign.
He avoided the public, staying ensconced in his basement. He outsourced his campaign to Democratic politicos, donors, and a sycophantic media.
No red state ever sought to remove Joe Biden or Kamala Harris from their 2024 ballots. In contrast, twenty-five blue states attempted to take Trump off their ballots.
In 2021, Joe Biden’s DOJ and FBI raided then-former-President Trump’s home. They found only 102 classified documents among some 14,000 seized, but nevertheless indicted him.
There was no such SWAT raid on Biden’s multiple repositories of illegally removed classified documents.
All were in less secure places than at Mar-a-Lago. Biden removed them over the course of three decades with impunity. At the time, unlike Trump, he had no presidential prerogatives to declassify them.
Special counsel Robert Hur found Biden culpable for the removal of these files but declined to prosecute, claiming that he was too enfeebled to stand trial.
In 2024, the same backroom donors and politicos who had conspired to ensure Biden was the 2020 nominee now, against his wishes, in coup-like fashion, removed him from his own reelection ticket.
Within 48 hours and without a delegate vote, they crowned Kamala Harris as the presumed nominee. Queen Harris had not received a single delegate vote in her disastrous 2020 primary run.
Donald Trump, in 2020, did not sic his Department of Justice on his rival, Joe Biden.
Nor during his presidency did his Department of Justice indict any

All the leftist judges sure act like kings.
GREAT article by VDH. Thanks for posting, Names and details.
Did Burger King marry Dairy Queen?
Democrats have gone insane Trump will live in their tiny mind until the day they die.
It’s not the “Kings” Americans are worried about. It’s the far-left “Queens” grooming America’s children for sicko sex lives.
Just more brain dead democrap projection.
Agreed. VDH always does a great job of putting today’s fake issue from the Dims in context by contrasting it by the past decade or two of what the Dims themselves have done.
Three times actually, Vic.
Joe Biden, in a mere four years in office, pardoned roughly 4,245 people—the vast majority through autopen signatures and without the full knowledge of Biden himself. Under the Obama and Biden administrations, admitted left-wing government lawbreakers and White House allies were never prosecuted for felonious behavior.
A very interesting discussion about the real kings in the USA, who are never accountable for anything they do.
