Trump Quips About ‘King’ Label After Judge Blocks Ballroom Renovation
During his Easter lunch address at the White House, President Donald Trump responded with sarcasm to recent “No Kings” protests. He joked that critics now call him a king, even though a federal judge has just halted his proposed $400 million ballroom renovation without congressional approval. 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.
