Complainer-in-Chief Donald Trump is already whining about national protests that are scheduled for Saturday, June 14, which also happens to be his 79th birthday and the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army.
Asked about the “No Kings” protests that will take place in multiple cities, Trump said, “I don’t feel like a king. I have to go through hell to get stuff approved.”
Trump added that he thought it was absurd he had to consult with House Speaker Mike Johnson (LA) and Senate Majority Leader John Thune (SD) before he signed a resolution passed by Congress that will block California’s ban on the sale of new gas-powered cars beginning in 2035.
“No, no. We’re not a king. We’re not a king at all,” the Toddler-in-Chief added.

Literally any rational person: "yeah, when everything you do is against the law, or breaks your oath to the Constitution, that's by design"
This is a remarkable Freudian slip. He responds to the accusation of acting like a king by complaining about the very constitutional checks and balances that are designed to prevent a president from becoming one. His frustration with having to "get things approved" is an…
