The president quipped, “They call me KING now, do you believe it? I’m such a king I can’t get a ballroom approved.” He added, “I could be doing a LOT MORE if I was a KING,” highlighting the ongoing debate over presidential powers and checks and balances. This exchange underscores tensions between the executive branch and judicial oversight, while protests continue to question the limits of authority in the current administration.
