He is the only actual king in the world right now, as most kings have just a figure position.
On the contrary, if what you mean by a King is a constitutional monarch. A King or Queen has what is known as reserve powers. That they may appear to be simply figureheads is a trick.

"...the reserve powers are thought to be the means by which the monarch ... can legitimately exist as "constitutional guardians" or "umpires", tasked with guaranteeing that Cabinet and parliament adhere to the fundamental constitutional principles of the rule of law and responsible government itself."

Trump is just a simpleton in this context. Chances are he hasn't even read the constitution of the United States (actually, it isn't easy to read even for those without a reading disability).

In theory, Trump received a degree in Economics from the Wharton School and was the top student.

Quoting Ferna
The classic "anti-racist liberal" going full-blown racist and misogynist
Two questions for Mr Ferna -

1. The practice is well documented as occurring there. How is that racist by simply stating a fact and asking if it still occurs? I could ask if Americans are still eating a lot of Macdonalds. Is that racist too?

2. Misogynist - I doubt you even know what that means. And even if there's a slight chance you do, did I even suggest for one minute that I approve of the practise?

You have shown over the last few days that you truly are FF's biggest idiot. I know you will look back at your post and think "why did I write that" before inevitably pressing the delete key. That's why I quote you. So that your stupidity is recorded FOREVER.

"
French Gates went on to describe the details in the Epstein files as personally difficult, stirring recollections of "some very, very painful times in my marriage," though she claimed having moved on. "Whatever questions remain there—of what I don't, can't even begin to know all of it—those questions are for those people and for even my ex-husband," French Gates added. "They need to answer to those things, not me."
"And I am so happy to be away from all the muck that was there," she concluded.

Donald Trump, similar to Epstein, acts as a Russian operative who has been assigned and compensated to undermine NATO, create chaos within American society and democracy, and erode European unity. He received backing from Russia during his election campaign and will bring about significant difficulties and potentially more severe consequences if permitted to stay in power.

Trump disciples are unable to register the discomfort normally associated with cognitive dissonance that humans feel.
