At last: an honest statement from Trump

Being president of the United States isn’t good enough for DJT. He wants to be king, according to one of his posts on Truth Social, accompanied by a cheesy depiction of him wearing a crown.

Next, he’ll want an army of soldiers dedicated only to him, not to the Constitution. He’ll want to turn the White House into a tacky version of Versailles, with huge portraits of himself on every wall and liveried servants standing silently by to open a door or hand him toilet paper (wait: the king shouldn’t have to wipe his own ass!).

He’ll have so much fun designing the uniforms.

He’ll designate his youngest son, Barron, as the heir apparent. He and Melania also will get crowns. Should the taxpayers get obstreperous about this extravagance, while their medical benefits, food stamps and housing vouchers are slashed in the name of “government efficiency,” he’ll throw McNuggets at them much as he threw rolls of paper towels as “relief aid” to victims of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico while blocking $20 billion in recovery aid.

He’s not much acquainted with facts or history, so someone should remind him how things turned out for the last king of Versailles.
