Donald Trumphas fired back at millions of protesters accusing him of acting like a king… by depicting himself as a king.
Not only that – a king who has a plane with ‘King Trump’ written on the side. And flies it over those protesters. And drops excrement over them.
It’s the latest dignified response from theUSPresident to the‘No Kings’ demonstrations attracting vast crowds across the countryto oppose his agenda.
Cities includingLos Angeles,ChicagoandWashington DC– as well as Miami andNew York, where Trump has homes – have held mass gatherings under the name.
In his latest foray into AI video, Trump fired back at the protests in typical fashion on hisTruth Social website.
The 19-second clip shows him piloting a jet while wearing a crown, flying over a city that looks reminiscent of New York, and dumping brown sludge over people carrying placards.
It’s not the first time the president has styled himself as a monarch – hence the name of the protest movement.
In February, he attracted criticism for posting a picture of himself – again apparentlyAI-generated – in a crown, with the caption ‘long live the king’.
The US, of course, has a complicated history with royalty. It was founded in 1776 with the rejection of King George’s authority over the land.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul responded to Trump’s February tweet by saying: ‘New York hasn’t labored under a king in over 250 years and we are not — we sure as hell are not going to start now.
‘The streets of this city, where battles were fought, we stood up to a king and we won then and we will.’
Trump’s fecal teasing is the latest sign that hisWhite Houseis not particularly bothered about appearing childish.
Yesterday, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked who decided an upcoming meeting between Trump and Russian PresidentVladimir Putinwould take place in Hungary.
She responded: ‘Your mom did.’
