Straight Talk with Bill Frady 6/16/26 Hour 3-If Trump is a king

The argument that Trump is a king falls short when evaluating his actual circumstances. If he were truly a monarch, he would be failing at the role. Consider the typical actions of a king: they do not tolerate constant legal challenges, daily public criticism, or complaints about gas prices—which, notably, were higher during the Biden administration. A real king would likely respond to such opposition and scrutiny with imprisonment or even harsher penalties, yet Trump remains subject to the standard pressures of a public official. Ever since SpaceX transitioned to a public company, there has been significant complaining. Democrats seem bothered by Elon Musk becoming the world's inaugural trillionaire. However, the existence of a trillionaire ought to be viewed as an inspiration, serving as a reminder of the heights we are capable of reaching.
