In an unexpected development, President Donald Trump has stepped back from the label of 'king' just hours before nationwide protests are slated to occur. In a Fox Business interview, Trump firmly dismissed the idea of being a monarch, particularly ahead of the 'No Kings' demonstrations aimed at challenging his perceived authoritarian style. These rallies, anticipated to draw thousands across the country, follow a similar event in June that captured considerable media attention. Trump's latest remarks signify a shift from his previous self-aggrandizing comments, where he embraced a royal image, especially in celebrating the cancellation of New York City's congestion pricing initiative. The upcoming protests highlight a growing public concern regarding what many consider an excessive exercise of executive power.
