\u201cN<\/span>o kings\u201d has become a rallying cry for the anti-Trump left and some anti-MAGA conservatives. The phrase is meant to convey the notion that President Trump is ruling the United States as a monarch. On the No Kings website, the organization brags about their \u201cevents in all 50 states\u201d that constitute in their minds \u201ca sustained national resistance to tyranny.\u201d They compare themselves to the American patriots who resisted the tyranny of Great Britain\u2019s George III 250 years ago.<\/p>\n

Their website sets forth a list of Trump\u2019s sins \u2014 an indictment similar to Thomas Jefferson\u2019s list of grievances against King George in the Declaration of Independence. Trump\u2019s administration, they write, \u201cis sending masked agents into our streets, terrorizing our communities.\u201d It accuses Trump\u2019s government of \u201ctargeting immigrant families, profiling, arresting, and detaining people without warrants.\u201d Trump is \u201cthreatening to overtake elections \u2026 gutting healthcare, environmental protections, and education.\u201d\u00a0 Trump rigs maps \u201cto silence voters,\u201d ignores school shootings, raises the cost of living while giving money to billionaires, and launches missile strikes abroad using tax dollars. \u201cThe president,\u201d they say, \u201cthinks his rule is absolute.\u201d<\/p>\n

But unlike Jefferson\u2019s allegations in the Declaration, the No Kings claims are false. Federal agents are masked in some instances because groups that share the No Kings\u2019 ideology frequently post the names, faces, and addresses of federal agents, exposing them to harm \u2014 those agents are masked for their own protection. And those same agents are not terrorizing our communities; they are making them safer. Trump is not targeting \u201cimmigrant families,\u201d but is enforcing federal laws against migrants who are unlawfully in the United States.<\/p>\n

He is not \u201cgutting healthcare\u201d nor undermining environmental protections, and is not gutting education. Instead, he is attempting to remove woke DEI policies that have infiltrated our healthcare and educational systems, and is trying to end needless environmental regulations that stifle economic growth. And Trump is not \u201cthreatening to overtake elections\u201d (whatever that actually means). Instead, he wants to ensure that the all-too-flexible pandemic-inspired election practices of 2020 are never repeated again.<\/p>\n

What absolute kings or rulers do you know that are stifled seemingly every day by liberal judges \u2026 who have blatantly become part of the anti-Trump crowd?<\/p>\n

As a victim of at least three assassination attempts, Trump can hardly be said to ignore school shootings or shootings in our communities. In fact, he has offered assistance to mayors in cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., Memphis, and elsewhere to quell such violence. Those communities are being terrorized by violent criminals, and in some instances the cities\u2019 political leaders have refused help from the \u201cking,\u201d presumably because they share the ideology of the No Kings movement. And as for Trump helping billionaires \u2014 most billionaires support Trump\u2019s opponents. Trump\u2019s supporters are the very people who are being terrorized, not by federal agents, but by violent criminals in their midst.<\/p>\n

If Trump is a king, he is a strange king. What absolute kings or rulers do you know that are stifled seemingly every day by liberal judges (and some conservative judges) who have blatantly become part of the anti-Trump crowd? What king or ruler has to struggle endlessly to get nominations to important posts confirmed by the Senate? What king or absolute ruler is continuously hounded by opposition lawfare at every turn? What king or absolute ruler puts up with a blatantly biased media that seeks to undermine him and all of his policies?<\/p>\n

\u201cNo Kings\u201d is part of the liberal, progressive movement in this country. Liberals, or progressives as they like to be called, have a history of supporting liberal presidents who have wielded much greater executive power than Trump ever has. They supported the \u201cimperial presidencies\u201d of, for example, Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt, but complained about the \u201cimperial presidency\u201d of Richard Nixon. Wilson and Roosevelt came closer to kingships than Nixon or Trump. Wilson and FDR took executive actions (shutting down newspapers, prosecuting political opponents, incarcerating ethnic groups suspected of disloyalty) that would make Trump blush. Yet, Wilson and Roosevelt are the left\u2019s heroic presidents. (RELATED: No Kings, Just Pawns)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cNo kings\u201d is simply a pose the left makes to smear a president and a political movement they abhor. They are \u201cNo kings\u201d except for progressive ones.<\/p>\n
