I won’t serve a king…

My family fought in the Revolutionary War, and I won’t stand for this.

Not even with fava beans?

No gods… no kings.

He’s not a king. He’s not a Duke. He’s just a dick.

That would be bad enough, but one that’s also a colossal asshole?

He’s going to serve us up on a platter to Putin & Musk.

“I do not call myself subject to much at all.”

–Hawkeye, “Last of the Mohicans”

Nope. Never.

If you’re American, you don’t serve ANY man.

Your duty as a citizen is the the CONSTITUTION.

or a fascist
or a dictator
or a felon
or a rapist
…

Medium rare, bearnaise sauce, with a nice Chianti.

His supporters are stupid and he’s THEIR king. Nobody else’s.

I am a citizen
not a subject.

I don’t think I can even abide one.

And I refuse to eat cake.

…or a robber baron

I wouldn’t serve a king either. Not unless he came with a side of something healthy like Broccoli or salad.

Me either or a Jester, Idiot or Billionaire.

Or his assistant king.

Oh, America what have you done?

“This is how America ends, not with a bang but with a Traitor.”

“Let them eat fries”

Eggs are another matter.

Or a felon, rapist, crook, con man…

American presidents don’t even joke about this. Just because he’s petty doesn’t mean this isn’t dangerous.

George Washington just did a somersault in his tomb

Such an ignorant person and a dangerous one at that, elected by people that had to be clueless running our country— we have become an embarrassment to the rest of the world.

It took him 30 days to declare himself King.

His idea of humor is yet another indication of his growing madness.

Your mistake is in thinking he’s joking.

Authoritarians are never “just joking”.

Only a dumb-ass would say this.

That explains it.

He isn’t kidding.

He is deliberately putting that out there, so that if 74 million MAGA supporters relentlessly repeat it on Social Media, he’ll say it’s the will of the people.

He’ll declare himself king.

Just watch. It will go viral on X.

What a fucking maniac!

It’s hideous because trump is not joking.

Canada is starting a war with the United States by not acquiescing to the idea of being the 51st state. Because, obviously, Ukraine started that war with Russia.

Logic.

Oh, I think we all know he’s not joking

He has no sense of humor so he’s serious.

Here’s a hint: Donald Trump has never been joking about anything.

WTAF

Petty? He’s batshit crazy.

and really, really stupid.

Pretty sure there’s NOTHING this man can do to make New Yorkers like him again

Yes. He is a clown with a flamethrower, but he still has a flamethrower.

He is way more dangerous than many people believe.
He has initiated the destruction of the U.S.
Everything he does is for a selfish reason.
Whatever is next on the menu will be worse than the last thing he does.

He got what he wanted already (staying out of jail). Everything being done now is not him, it’s the people behind him. He’s just signing papers.

A true looney-tune.

Trump does not make jokes. This is where he is mentally. In his mind, the fact that he’s gotten away with this much means he has carte blanche in his estimation. It’s going to get worse…

It never was a joke, he’s just trying to normalize the idea of him being a dictator so Americans are too apathetic to do anything about it.

He can fuck off

He is not joking. The man wants to be king

It’s going to get worse.
