The U.S. Presidency is nowadays more obviously a knockoff of royalty than ever before.
The President, like a Monarch, responds to the desires of many councils, some official and some unofficial. In such a way, the position that is presumably the highest in the land is brought down quite a bit. Rather than a flow chart all pointing towards the top guns, in our day and age those two hot shots being President Trump for four years and now President Biden for close to two, it’s more bunched up than that. There are people above the President and there are people around the President that have massive amounts of sway and shared authority. The President is sort of another version of a P.R. spokesperson. They are the public facing element of a deeply orchestrated system of governance, wealth accumulation, wealth transference, wealth retainage, propaganda dissemination, media saturation, globalization, automation and imperialism.
President Trump proved the presidency as royalty with his slingin’ dick. He proved the idea of working your way up the political ladder laughable. And he did it looking like a clown the whole time. He was named America’s Prom King because he convinced all the losers he was their friend.
Joe Biden regularly proves the presidency as royalty with his clearly visible puppet arms reaching out to shake hands with no one. He proves the reality of the magical executive notion or opinion or declaration or utterance. He proves that the president is rarely not being fed lines.
