Specifically - what is No Kings? Specific policies only.

[iamwhatiseem]

Let's hear it - what specific policies leads to claims that Trump is like a King?

Go.

 

[OrphanSlug]

This one should end well...

No Kings.

I predict - "TTRRRRRRUUUUUUUMMMMPPP!!!!!!!"
There will be nothing.

 

[americanwoman]

A couple things to start with, although as usual Donald Trump has never been held accountable for abusing his powers.

1. Diverting military funds to the border without congressional approval.
2. Multiple violations of the Emoluments clause - both foreign and domestic.

It should be pretty obvious, the guy is sending the DOJ messages to prosecute people he doesn't like, he's sending federal troops into cities and states that didn't vote for him, he's ignoring the courts and in fact mocking them, he's broken countless laws, he's taken powers that are supposed to be given for extreme threats to the country and governing based on those powers. Many more but the idea that none of that has come through whatever MAGA mind bubble you live it means it's pointless to go on.

Go.

You are missing the point. Its the breach of policy, the breach of norms, and the exploitation of some rather vaguely and naively drafted congressional statutes that are causing this problem.

 

[Allan]

Let's hear it - what specific policies leads to claims that Trump is like a King?

Go.

1. Executive Orders intended to create laws by bypassing the legislative branch.

2. Using law enforcement to punish political adversaries.

3. Suppression of media.

4. Suppression of the right to protest the government.

 

[Callen]

Usurping congressional powers over appropriations and taxes

Entering into trade deals unilaterally

Ignoring the Constitution as it relates to separation of powers

 

[Allan]

Entering into trade deals unilaterally

What trade deals? Trump doesn't have anything so far.

So nothing specific, and opinion based. Because - easily - Biden could be 100% said he did the same, only a lot more

 

[Callen]

According to him he does....which is the point. He sees Congress as irrelevant

 

[j brown's body]

The No Kings protesters were motivated by the following concerns about Trump taking absolute power:

His tearing apart programs created by Congress
His impoundment of funds allocated by Congress,
His ignoring and threatening judges
His efforts to control education, the media, the legal profession and the markets
His militarization of society in order to tear apart our families and communities.
His politicalization of the military.

[ataraxia]

Let's hear it - what specific policies leads to claims that Trump is like a King?

Go.

Putting national guard troops in places that have not asked for it, to take care of supposed war zones that don’t exist.

And then pardoning seditious criminals who attempted an actual violent insurrection on American government, based on lies.

 

[NJBob]

Trump has no respect for the Constitution.

That should be enough for anyone.

So nothing specific, and most is opinion based and not policy

 

[roberthughey]

1. Executive Orders intended to create laws by bypassing the legislative branch.\

Biden used EO's to bypass congress all the time.

2. Using law enforcement to punish political adversaries.

Biden's DOJ.

Enough said.

3. Suppression of media.

You only have to look at the Twitter files to see how opposition voices were suppressed during Covid.

4. Suppression of the right to protest the government.

Not true.

Several Presidents have placed National Guard when the state didn't want it

 

[BirdinHand]

Building a ballroom while cutting food stamps and Medicaid access.

Telling Americans to buy two dolls because of the tariffs HE set.

Posting stupid images of himself wearing a crown on White House social media platforms.

Throwing himself the world’s lamest military parade for his birthday

Calling the military leaders ALL to a meeting that could have been an email - and then standing there with his lackey and delivering lame speeches that amused no one.

The tacky gold decor all over the Oval Office

Ripping out the rose garden to put down a tacky patio

Now talk about a tacky and unnecessary arch.

Taking a gift of a jet from Qatar, that will cost taxpayers billions to renovate.

His lackey Noem taking hundreds of millions of dollars to buy 2 jets so she can travel around in style - jets that serve NO purpose for the coast guard other than shuttling VIPs around

Having his inauguration attended solely by wealthy donors while actual average Americans were shipped off to watch on Jumbotrons.

 

[Bok Tuklo]

You will tell him and he will pretend you didn’t.

Troll thread.

So nothing'

 

[j brown's body]

To maintain peace, not to foment violence so he can declare the Insurrection Act.

Big difference.

 

[Callen]

It was clear from the get go you were simply going to dismiss anything that was put forward .

Although President's can negotiate trade deals only Congress can ratify them.

You’re only scratching the surface.
