Just hours after Donald Trump insisted on national television that “I’m not a king,” the White House’s official X account posted an AI-generated image of Trump and his loyalist J.D. Vance wearing golden crowns. Apparently, the monarchy thing was too tempting to resist.
On Fox Business on Sunday morning, Trump had tried to sound humble while talking about the No Kings protest. “They’re referring to me as king. I’m not a king,” he said, while brushing off the protestors who took to the streets on Oct. 18. And this wasn’t Trump’s first royal denial. Back when asked about the “No Kings” protest planned on his birthday in June, he said, “I don’t feel like a king. I have to go through hell to get stuff approved.”
