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.

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.

    Cook: Economic Outlook

    From federalreserve.gov|Feb 4, 2026

    Thank you, Francisco, for the kind introduction, and many thanks to the Economic Club of Miami for the opportunity to speak with you today. It is wonderful to see firsthand the vibrant and growing South Florida economy. The Miami region's unemployment rate is below the national average, and consumers in Florida have been among the country's most resilient. I am happy to have the opportunity to engage with all of you who are central to that dynamism. I am especially glad to have the chance to update you on my economic outlook shortly after the Federal Open Market Committee's (FOMC's) first meeting of the year. As always, I am focused on achieving the dual mandate of maximum employment and stable prices given to us by Congress. This evening, I will discuss both parts of that mandate and give you my view of how the economy is evolving. I will then share some thoughts about the apparent disconnect between sentiment and activity readings before discussing implications for monetary policy. FED GOV COOK/MEC: RISKS TO BOTH FED MANDATES BUT HIGHER FOR INFLATION; VIGILANT, WITH OPTIMISM 'TEMPERED WITH CAUTION' #Cook #FederalReserve #economy FED GOV COOK/MEC: STRONG GROWTH 'LIKELY MASKS A CHALLENGING SITUATION FACING MANY FAMILIES, PARTICULARLY LOW INCOME AND MODERATE-INCOME FAMILIES' #Cook #FederalReserve #economy FED GOV COOK/MEC: PROGRESS ON INFLATION 'ESSENTIALLY STALLED;' 'SUCH A PLATEAU IS FRUSTRATING;' SEE UPTICK IN CORE GOODS PRICES' #Cook #FederalReserve #economy
