Ben Meiselas: 我认为特朗普举办独裁者游行非常可笑,而真正的国王查尔斯三世对此感到厌恶。查尔斯国王以一种政治家的方式,向特朗普展示了真正的国王应该如何行事,他试图通过提升王室形象来传递政治信息,与想要成为“疯狂国王”的特朗普形成对比。我注意到,查尔斯国王有意与特朗普形成对比,例如,在特朗普对泽连斯基态度恶劣之后,查尔斯国王给予了泽连斯基温暖的国事访问待遇。此外,查尔斯国王通过在加拿大发表讲话,突出了英联邦的重要性,并暗示美国正在衰落。特朗普似乎非常渴望成为国王,甚至对一篇暗示美国应效忠查尔斯国王的文章表示赞赏。我认为查尔斯国王正在运用软实力来对抗特朗普的独裁倾向。特朗普甚至没有对一名士兵在游行准备中死亡发表声明,这与查尔斯国王形成了鲜明对比。特朗普否认自己是国王,并抱怨获得批准的困难,这进一步表明了他对国王的痴迷。总之,查尔斯国王与特朗普之间的对比非常明显,查尔斯国王代表着稳定和尊重,而特朗普则代表着混乱和自恋。 Mark Milley: 我认为,美国军人宣誓效忠的是宪法,而不是国王、女王、暴君或独裁者。我们不效忠于任何个人,而是效忠于宪法和美国的理念。我们愿意为保护宪法而献出生命。 Ken Casey: 我对MAGA和特朗普的独裁倾向感到非常担忧。我不明白为什么会有人被特朗普和马斯克这样的人所左右。我们不想要独裁者,我们不希望看到人们的福利被剥夺,尤其是退伍军人和那些为社会保障付出了一生的人。

You know, there was a 50/50 chance Donald Trump would actually dress like this to his dictator parade. Take a look at him right there in his little teeny tiny tank. Does that make you feel like a big boy, Donald? Anyway, a real king, King Charles III of the United Kingdom, is apparently disgusted by Donald Trump.

And in a very statesman-like way, you have King Charles showing Donald Trump what a real king looks like and how a real king is supposed to act. And apparently King Charles just thinks it's utterly pathetic that Donald Trump needs to hold a dictator parade to make himself feel good about himself. And it's funny because this article by Vanity Fair called King Charles irked by Trump's candidacy

Canada Overtures, sends his own political message with soft power. Talks about how King Charles, since his diagnosis of cancer several months back, has been trying to focus more on exercising kind of soft power and political authority to just kind of raise the profile of the monarchy at an evolving age as Donald Trump wants to be

you know, a mad king and the contrast between Charles and Trump cannot be more stark. And the article goes on to basically show that King Charles is also almost like intentionally drawing out this contrast. And you saw it at first when Donald Trump invited Ukraine President Zelenskyy

to the White House. And then Donald Trump started yelling at him and saying, you don't hold the cards. You don't hold the cards. You're horrible. You know, what an embarrassing meeting. Right. And then shortly thereafter, President Zelensky got this warm state welcome at the Royal Palace with King Charles and King Charles.

you know, treated Zelensky with respect. And it was one of kind of the first direct response gestures by King Charles to kind of contrast himself to Donald Trump, the wannabe king. And then, of course, there was the speech from the crown by King Charles himself.

Canada was the first time you had a speech from the crown since like the 1970s since Queen Elizabeth gave her speech and King Charles really drew the contrast between Canada and between the Commonwealth and

the 56 nations that were formerly under British rule and the weakening of the United States of America. In other words, exalting the British Commonwealth and showing the United States as kind of very, very isolated. You know, one of the things we know about Donald Trump, again, is his wannabe king behavior. Like Donald Trump posted in response to this

Like weird gossipy article from the sun. Trump wrote, I love King Charles. Sounds good to me. And this article was from March 20th of 2025. The Trump card.

King Charles to make secret offer to Donald Trump during state visit after Keir Starmer hand delivered letter from the King. The move could symbolize Britain's close relationship with the U.S. And this bizarre article from March 20th, 2025 from The Sun, it's got this like funny picture of like King Charles as though he's scheming, is basically saying that the United States

should basically be a subject of the throne and become a member of the Commonwealth and basically pledge loyalty to King Charles. And so if you go look at what Donald Trump reposted, Trump reposted, King Charles is said to have made a secret offer to Donald Trump during a state visit after Starmer hand-delivered him a letter from the king. And Donald Trump reposted that favorably, like, I love King Charles.

How great is this right here? So again, this Vanity Fair article goes on to talk about how Donald Trump is going to be doing the dictator parade, how King Charles and how there's going to be the no kings protest, and then how King Charles, the real king, is exercising soft power. I mean, if you just think about the lead up to this article,

Donald Trump dictator parade. I mean, just look at what was going on yesterday and just how utterly embarrassing this is as you have these soldiers rehearsing for Donald Trump's wasteful military parade. Here, just play this clip. ♪♪

Now, yesterday, also, a soldier died in the lead-up to Donald Trump's dictator parade. Donald Trump made no statements about the death

of this soldier. At first, it was believed that this soldier died preparing for Donald Trump's dictator parade, although the 101st Airborne Division said, we actually want to clarify our statement. The accident occurred during a routine aviation training mission inside Fort Campbell, and it just so happened that it was the day before Donald Trump's dictator parade. So

But who knows? I mean, at this point, the Trump regime lies about everything. And you can see Donald Trump, who's called our dead soldiers suckers and losers before sending a message to the base. Because the first story that was reported was in preparation for the Army's 250th birthday. It is with deep sorrow that we share the loss of our teammate, a soldier named Dustin Wright Jr.,

The official release is included below. And it clearly says in preparation for the Army's 250th birthday. That's referring to Donald Trump's dictator parade. And they had to pull back the statement. Well, our heart goes out to Dustin Wright and Dustin Wright's family for his death. He's identified as the soldier who died as a result of wounds from the AH-64 Apache helicopter training accident at Fort Campbell.

And we do know that those helicopters are going to be used in the dictator parade. So

You can assess and judge for yourself what you think is going to be happening there. By the way, Donald Trump was asked about the several no kings protests planned across the country earlier in the week. And here is what he said. There are several no kings protests planned across the country on Saturday as well. What are your thoughts on those? What are they? No kings? No kings. I don't feel like a king. I have to go through hell to get stuff approved.

A king would say, I'm not going to get this. A king would have never had the California mandate to even be talking to him. He wouldn't have to call up Mike Johnson and Thune and say, fellas, you got to pull this off. And after years, we get it done. No, no, we're not a king. We're not a king at all. Thank you very much. And again, you can see Donald Trump's obsession with kings like Trump.

This was a month or so ago where Donald Trump kept on talking about how he loves to take kings and queens and dictators into the Oval Office. Here, play this clip. When you add up the importance, I take people into the Oval Office and the biggest people, foreign leaders, princes, kings, queens, and presidents and prime ministers and

A couple of dictators, I guess. They don't say that. They say, "No, I'm a prime minister or I'm a president." And I say, "No, you're a dictator, but that's okay."

You all will recall when King Charles gave his speech from the crown, and here's what he said delivering the speech. Let's play this clip right here. When my dear late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, opened a new Canadian parliament in 1957, the Second World War remained a fresh, painful memory. The Cold War was intensifying. Freedom and democracy were under threat.

Canada was emerging as a growing economic power and a force for peace in the world. In the decades since, history has been punctuated by epoch-making events: the Vietnam War, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the start of the War on Terror. Today, Canada faces another critical moment: democracy, pluralism, the rule of law, self-determination,

and freedom are values which Canadians hold dear and ones which the government is determined to protect. The system of open global trade that, while not perfect, has helped to deliver prosperity for Canadians for decades is changing. Canada's relationships with partners are also changing. We must confront reality. Since the Second World War,

Our world has never been so dangerous and unstable. Canada faces challenges that are unprecedented in our lives. Many Canadians are feeling anxious and worried about the drastically changing world around them. Fundamental change is always unsettling. Yet this moment is also an incredible opportunity, an opportunity for renewal,

an opportunity to think big and to act bigger.

an opportunity for Canada to embark on the largest transformation of its economy since the Second World War. I think in contrast to the Trump dictator parade, here is what the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley, who Donald Trump hates, here's what he had to say about the United States of America before Milley left. Play this clip. We don't take an oath to a tribe. We don't take an oath to a religion.

We don't take an oath to a king or a queen or to a tyrant or a dictator. And we don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator. We don't take an oath to an individual. We take an oath to the Constitution, and we take an oath to the idea that it's America, and we're willing to die to protect it. Every soldier, sailor, airman, marine, guardian, and coast guardman, each of us commits our very life

to protect and defend that document, regardless of personal price. And my good friend, the lead singer of Dashboard, of Dropkick Murphys, I say Dashboard, sorry, Ken, of Dropkick Murphys, Ken Casey, here's what he had to say about MAGA and this Trump mentality of being a king. Here, play this clip. There's this whole like,

mentality that MAGA has painted that like, you know, you're either MAGA or you're, you know, drinking soy lattes, you know, whatever, you know, and there's a lot of people that are just like, we're just regular people, but we don't want a dictator. We don't want to see people rip, people's benefits ripped away, especially veterans and people who have worked their whole life to pay into Social Security.

I just don't understand. You know, if someone was going to trick Americans into what has happened, I would have like thought it might have been like a Brad Pitt or someone a little bit cooler or whatever. Like the fact that Elon Musk, the guy looks like

He literally seems like a villain from a movie mixed with a guy that's like mid-nervous breakdown. And Donald Trump's just a clown. I just can't believe how they've been the two that are swaying people's views. It's crazy. I do like dashboard confessionals, and I do like dropkick murphies. You can like both. There's nothing wrong with that. There's nothing wrong with that.

Anyway, there you have it. You know, you clearly have King Charles sending that message. The no kings protest here in America. A lot going on. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 5 million subscribers.
