Prove to me that he's not already a king. He suffers zero consequences and solely controls every aspect of the federal government. He is what a 6 year old thinks the president is.

    Oh he is effectively a king (the real burger king), I just wish news articles would call him out without resorting to headlines like this.

    They never will. Media companies want to get in on the grift and get their cut. Every lawsuit that went to trial has been a blow to that shitheel of a human, but companies keep bendin nthe fucking knee and settling at best.

    Almost all of his "decrees" get overturned. Most of those decisions get somewhere followed. His people try to operate through loopholes in the laws rather than outright violating them. He wouldn't be tiptoing around vague legality this much if he were actually a king

    The same Supreme Court that gave him license to do whatever he wants without any legal repercussions as long as he calls it presidential affairs?

    That's a king. He's a king.

    As an aside by doing this the Supreme Court effectively retroactively exonerated Nixon. The US is a joke.

    That's not what that ruling meant

    The floor is yours, you can nitpick semantics and discuss esoteric constitutional law, and in the end we will end up at the fact that it protects the President far far outside anything reasonable. It was a sycophantic ruling that was put in place by a corrupt court.

    without any legal repercussions

    He can't be indicted. That's not really the same as "without any legal repercussions". The Supreme Court can stop him, and has on a few occasions. He doesn't have to be a literal monarch, he's a fascist pedophile which represents the worst our species has to offer. That's plenty reason to be rid of him.
