"Donald Trump Jr. railed against the No Kings rallies that took place nationwide over the weekend and drew millions of people to the streets to protest the Trump administration. While President Donald Trump is not a literal king, the name of the protest is about the fact that he is acting like one and abusing his power in what is a clear quest to ultimately transform the country into an autocracy where the president isn't subject to the rule of law."
"But Republicans have continued to spout the idea that Trump can't possibly act like a king because he was voted into office - and also because he doesn't have absolute power. But he is certainly vying for it. In fact, the White House posted an image of him as a king in February, an image that inspired the name of the rally. But Trump Jr. claimed on Fox that if his dad were really a king, "He probably would have never left office the first time." The comment conveniently ignores Trump's attempt to stay in office by falsely claiming the 2020 election was stolen from him and inciting an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol."
Donald Trump Jr. criticized No Kings rallies on Fox News, dismissing protesters who drew millions nationwide. Protesters used the term 'king' to express concerns that President Trump is acting above the law and seeking unchecked power. Critics cite efforts to overturn the 2020 election, the January 6 insurrection, and a White House image portraying Trump as a king as evidence of that trajectory. Some Republicans counter that electoral victory and limited formal authority preclude a literal kingship, while opponents argue Trump is actively vying for greater power. Social media mocked Trump Jr.'s remark about a real king never leaving office.
