That is an abuse of the term. Kings are leaders of Nobility. Kings have codes to follow. A good King supports nobility, honor, and justice. Trump is no King. He is a con man, a grifter, a dangerous fool, and an Authoritarian who would like to be a Dictator. He is no King.
If Trump were a King, he would be a bad King, a Tyrant. He is not even that. Even a bad King comes from the nobility. Trump is nowhere near that. He is a gross and garish Nouveau Riche, a cheap social climber/wannabe, and a crude thug. He is a narcissist with no sense of honor, justice, right or wrong. So to the pundits- please stop calling Trump a King. That elevates him too much. He is a two-bit tin Dictator wannabe. Nowhere near being kingly in any sense.
