A president steeped in constitutional lore might have been offended by claims he’s acting as a king.

But Donald Trump and his entourage responded with mockery to weekend “No Kings” protests by millions of Americans — embracing the narrative in a way that explains his growing hubris and belief that he has unchecked power.

    Certainly not doing himself no, but don’t you think he’s petty enough to supervise the whole thing start to finish ?

      Reminds of a story from a real Mad Man. Some clients would be shown the best effort, because those people understood the business and could appreciate how it would play.

      Others would get three choices, the one they wanted to sell, and two low effort pieces for them to reject. Rejecting the bad ones made the clients feel savvy and in control.

      Donnie was shown three videos and ‘picked’ the best one.

      I’d bet money on that.
