The “No Kings” movement started last June with a series of protests, opposing what the organizers say are corrupt and authoritarian policies of President Trump. The most recent event occurred on October 18, when supporters claimed that more than seven million people participated in more than 2,700 events across all 50 states.
Like any president, Trump has made some mistakes but calling him a “king” is absurd. Kings are not elected, and Trump ran for office three times, winning twice.
In fact, when it comes to tyranny, the fingers should really be pointed at the leftists in the “No Kings” crowd.
Let’s start with Trump’s predecessor, Joe Biden, and his cronies. As Victor Davis Hanson points out, in 2021, Biden’s DOJ and FBI raided former President Trump’s home. They found only 102 classified documents among approximately 14,000 seized yet still indicted him. However, there was no SWAT raid on Biden’s multiple repositories of illegally removed classified documents.
Additionally, all of Biden’s documents were in less secure locations than Trump’s were in Mar-a-Lago. Biden removed them over three decades without facing consequences. Unlike Trump, he had no presidential authority to declassify them at the time.
The “No Kings” hyperventilators compare Trump’s constitutional right to pardon to the power of a king. During his nearly five years in office, Trump has granted about 1,700 pardons, including roughly 1,500 granted en masse to those convicted for the January 6 protests.
In his four years in office, Biden pardoned 4,245 people.
Also, a report released on October 28, shows that Biden’s administration officials misused executive authority and took actions without Biden’s approval as his mental acuity declined.
Biden’s inner circle hid the full extent of his mental decline from the American public. They misused executive power by abusing the presidential autopen and exploiting a weak chain of command.
Furthermore, as Hanson notes, in the 2020 election, Joe Biden’s surrogates assembled 51 “intelligence authorities” to falsely claim that Hunter Biden’s authentic and incriminating laptop—which had been verified but suppressed by the FBI—was the work of Russian election interference.
