Another executive order. What does this guy think he is, king?
Yes! Because, practically speaking, he is one.
He does and thus far nobody with the power to say otherwise has.
That reminds me of a tweet I just saw from the White House celebrating the fact that he's signed more executive orders than any president in history at this point by far. Which is... fine I guess but just seems like a really really strange thing to be super proud of to me.
Tweet in question
... Is this the first time you've heard of Donald Trump?!?!?!
That's what i was thinking when people first started supporting his run for the presidency in 2016. I just assumed it was common knowledge that he was a blatant con/grifter/sleazeball. I guess i didn't realize those would be taken as positive traits by a bunch of self-proclaimed "Christians" lol
It's worse than that.
All the coastal elites thought he was garbage.
Which was incontrovertible proof he was the messiah reborn.
L'état c'est moi
Vive le roi!
His base called him God emperor 4 or 5 years ago. Wouldn't be surprised if an egomaniac like him took it to heart.
Who says you can't tell if its sarcasm if its text?
