Remember That Donald Trump Is Really A King

Donald Trump is really a king. Let's remember what we saw in the posting "The Theory Of Kings", April 2022.

We think that monarchy has mostly gone out of style in the modern era, but nothing could be further from the truth. Kings are with us as much as ever, we usually just don't call them kings anymore. Monarchy has been the way societies have been governed for thousands of years and drafting a constitution isn't going to change that, except maybe by name.

Vladimir Putin is as much a king as the tsars. He just doesn't wear a crown. Kings in today's world tend to stick together, or at least not criticize each other much. This is why Vladimir Putin gets along with Donald Trump and Viktor Orban. Democracy hasn't worked out as well as was hoped and one reason is that kings are gone in name only.

We can see in that posting why having a constitutional monarchy is a good idea. A country that doesn't have a king, even a tame constitutional monarch, is much more likely to end up being ruled by someone who acts like a king. It is completely unrealistic to think that countries are going to be ruled by kings for thousands of years and then they are going to go away overnight.

Everything that the Royal Family does is scrutinized up and down. When you stop to think about it this is a tremendous compliment. When everyone pays attention to someone, whether that attention is negative or positive, it means that they have something that is worth paying attention to.
