Donald Trump has responded to planned “No Kings” protests against his leadership, saying “we’re not a king at all.”
Demonstrations targeting him are planned nationwide on Saturday, the same day as a military parade celebrating the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary in Washington, D.C, which coincides with the president’s 79th birthday.
The use of the royal “we” seems to indicate otherwise…
Funny, I thought it was the godly we as in the father, the son, and the orange doofus.
To be honest, it probably actually was a slip of the tongue. He’s nowhere near that clever.
Right, he’s legitimately not intelligent enough to realize he came close to an actual fucking joke.
He says “we” all the time to refer to himself.

He’s not using the royal “we”—that’s a common point of confusion. He’s actually using the caesaropapal “we”.
You, Lemonspeed, and I all joined Lemmy the same day.
I was curious so I checked and apparently I beat you by one day. I wonder what the date distribution looks like around that time for people joining.

You must’ve been smarter than us.
A pretty high peak I’m guessing. My two years is in 3 days.
