If Trump was a King he would:
Not have allowed the “No Kings” rally to occur in the first place.
Increase regulations against the business sector rather than reduce them as he has been doing. By the way, the Democrats believe in increasing regulations against the business sector, while also using progressive taxation to tax them into extinction. You know, like communism did in the Soviet Union, China, Venezuela, Cuba and the list goes on and on and on.
Suspend the First Amendment’s principle of Free Speech. You know, like the Democrats and their allies have done on College Campuses, Social Media, and pretty much everywhere else they could cancel speech that disagrees with their narrative by calling it misinformation and disinformation.
Suspend the First Amendment’s principle of Free Press by shutting down all of the leftwing media with a wave of his scepter. You know, forcing the media to report the way he wants like the Democrats and their allies have done by infiltrating and taking over most of the mainstream media with their hard left journalists and opinion pundits who report their ideology like it isn’t fake news.
Weaponize the IRS to target his political enemies. You know, like the Obama administration did when conservative groups applying for non-profit status were flagged and delayed.
Force schools to teach ideologically-tilted lessons. You know, like Biden did when he threatened to cut off school lunch funding if school districts did not adopt a gender dysphoria indoctrination curriculum.
Mandate vaccinations. You know, like Biden and his accomplices tried to do during the COVID scamdemic – where Americans were forced to decide to obey or lose their jobs in many cases, some of those as members of the U.S. Armed Forces who were forced out of service and cadets expelled for refusing the shot. According to Military News, the Army ended the military pay and benefits for more than 60,000 National Guard and Reserve Soldiers who refused the COVID-19 shot, an authoritarian action that affected more than the servicemember – it affected their families.
Use intelligence agencies to spy on political opponents. You know, like the Democrats did when the FBI surveilled Trump’s campaign under questionable pretenses during the 2016 election.
Pack the Supreme Court with loyal ideologues. You know, like the Democrats have threatened to do every time a ruling doesn’t go their way, like Franklin Delano Roosevelt threatened to do during his presidency, and like the leftist Hamiltonian Federalist Party actually did during the Midnight Judges scandal.
Use drones to kill Americans who don’t agree with him – without trial, without due process. You know, like Obama did in 2011 when his administration authorized a drone strike that killed Anwar al-Awlaki, a U.S. citizen, in Yemen. Weeks later, another strike killed his 16-year-old son. Citizens. No charges. No courtroom. Just executive power and a missile.
Use the government to buy out companies. You know, like Obama did with General Motors.
Use the government to control banking, regulate lenders, and dictate financial behiavior in the name of protecting consumers. You know, like Obama did with the Dodd-Frank Act, which gave federal agencies sweeping power over banks and mortgage to combat so-called “predatory lending.”
Use law to dictate private industries and force your participation. You know, like Obama ddi with the Affordable Care Act, which compelled individuals to buy insurance and pressured businesses to comply or face harsh penalties.
House detained illegal aliens tightly in cages (including children). You know, like Obama did.
Raise taxes to give the government more power to spend and redistribute wealth in a communist manner. You know, like the Democrats have.
Declare climate emergencies to bypass Congress. You know, like the Democrats and their internationalist leftist allies have to push through radical authoritarian environmental policies without legislative approval.
Ban gas-powered cars and stoves. You know, like progressive states and cities have started doing in the name of climate justice – regardless of cost or practicality (and we can throw incandescent light bulbs and a whole list of other products on that list, too).
Use executive orders to erase borders to win elections and create chaos so that more federal government involvement in local communities is required to control the situation – and then proclaim that police need to be defunded which creates even more need for federal influence. You know, like Biden did when he reversed Trump-era immigration policies and created a humanitarian crisis at the southern border and in each of our cities.
Force banks to report your transactions over $600. You know, like the Biden administration proposed to monitor Americans’ financial activity under the guise of catching tax cheats.
Redefine words to fit his agenda. You know, like the left did when they changed the definition of “recession” during economic downturns to avoid bad press.
Use the DOJ to prosecute political rivals over things that are not even a crime. You know, like the Democrats did with their lawfare campaign against Trump and his allies where investigations were more about the accusation than any actual criminal activity – and then make sure they had their judges in place to hammer home the verdicts.
Push for digital IDs and centralized currency for more authoritarian control over people’s lives. You know, like globalist Democrats have floated to increase surveillance and control over personal finances.
Use the FBI and civilian agitators to infiltrate opposition rallies, provoke chaos, and fabricate an image of insurrection – then unleash federal officers to hunt down anyone nearby, even passive onlookers. You know, like the Democrats did on January 6, 2021 when they deployed 274 FBI assets, Antifa operatives, and the Capitol Police to ignite a staged riot at the Capitol, even before those who watched Trump speak at The Ellipse even arrived.
… I’m sure you can think of more, if you tried.
