Question

King Charles, who is a personal friend of President Trump's, and strongly supports his policies and vision for the U. S. and the world?

Even the King joked about it, “I don't know why you stand for me but not your own president, who holds the same beliefs. I think it's shameful and childish.”

You made that quote up, didn't you?

"No Kings" really means "No Tyrants"; King Charles is not a tyrant, because he accepts the checks and balances associated with his position.

Here are some real quotes:

“Distinguished members of the 119th Congress, it is here in these very halls that this spirit of liberty and the promise of America’s founders is present in every session and every vote cast.

“Not by the will of one, but by the deliberation of many, representing the living mosaic of the United States. In both of our countries, it is the very fact of our vibrant, diverse and free societies that gives us our collective strength, including to support victims of some of the ills that, so tragically, exist in both our societies today."...

“In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, when NATO invoked Article Five for the first time, and the United Nations Security Council was united in the face of terror, we answered the call together – as our people have done so for more than a century, shoulder to shoulder, through two World Wars, the Cold War, Afghanistan and moments that have defined our shared security.

“Today, Mr. Speaker, that same, unyielding resolve is needed for the defense of Ukraine and her most courageous people. It is needed in order to secure a truly just and lasting peace. From the depths of the Atlantic to the disastrously melting icecaps of the Arctic, the commitment and expertise of the United States Armed Forces and its allies lie at the heart of NATO, pledged to each other’s defense, protecting our citizens and interests, keeping North Americans and Europeans safe from our common adversaries."

I think the whole inbred royal family thing is odd and useless. King Chuck is just another half dead old man. Only this half dead old man is totally irrelevant. He has no real power. He's a decoration from a past that ceased to exist long ago. And it's all sort of pathetic.

He has no real power and he's just there to kiss his ass to improve relationships , nothing else. We have no clue what he really thinks.

Trump on the other hand wants to reign like an absolute king did 500 years ago. The difference should be obvious. If he wanted to go hide in a castle and just come out to shake hands, do charity stuff and say some nice things about other people, no one would have a problem with him wanting to be a king.

Since 1918 when universal suffrage was enacted in Britain, the king or queen is a figurehead who mostly heads foundations and charities and is not a part of the nation's legislative process. Since King George III's time, the king of England has had less and less govenmental power.

So the King of England is, in effect, no king in the absolute monarchal sense that Henry the 8th or Elizabeth I were. They ran Britain. Charles does not.

Note : This question seems to be an unauthorized social experiment testing if g@gers are actually reading body text. To answer the question, I think it's a good sign that aforementioned protesters actually understand what the speech was about. It shows they're consistent.

Seems like congress was "sucking up" to the king? Trying to flatter king to get his favor/favour!

Charles is an ass. Anyone who pats himself on the back for being a friend to Scump or sharing his dementia driven views is just as big a loser as Scumpie himself.

Twalli · Answer

The king doesn't really have that much power in the U. K. anymore. Seeing as this country fought a war not to be under a king, the feeling is different for a foreign monarch not trying to assert their dominance over us.
