NO KINGS!

            an estimated 8.2 million Americas gathered Saturday for American democracy  the Constitution  the Bill of Rights  for Freedom

while on the other hand:

                          “. . . after the protests, the president’s social media account posted an AI-generated video showing Trump in a fighter jet with “KING TRUMP” painted on the side. The president sits in the airplane in front of something round that could be seen as a halo. He is wearing a gold crown; weirdly, the oxygen mask is over his mouth and chin, rather than mouth and nose.

“Once in the air, the plane drops excrement on American cities, including what seems to be New York City. The excrement drenches protesters . . .”
