Trump Declares: “I Am Not a King”—And He’s Right

Tomorrow, June 14, 2025, “The radical left is organizing mass ‘No Kings’ riot protests in all major cities. According to The Gateway Pundit, these protests are in response to Trump’s removal of over 250 Biden-appointed bureaucrats and his order to deport tens of thousands of illegal aliens with criminal records.

As Christians, we’d be heartless not to feel compassion for innocent children and families who really came over seeking refuge and a better life. But that’s not what this is about. These protests are defending gang members, human traffickers, and repeat offenders—criminals who thrived under Biden’s open-border free-for-all. Trump isn’t targeting the poor—he’s targeting the dangerous.

Even Trump himself addressed the accusation that he’s ruling like a monarch: “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, we’re not a king. We’re not a king at all. Thank you very much.” (The Gateway Pundit)

According to the New York Post, protest numbers in New York City alone could “top 75,000,” with activists demanding “the total dismantling of Trump’s new deportation force.” It is striking that those who call for defunding the police now object when lawbreakers face consequences. Such contradictions cannot stand. As Scripture warns: “When the sentence for a crime is not quickly carried out, people’s hearts are filled with schemes to do wrong” (Ecclesiastes 8:11). Mercy without justice is not compassion—it is lawlessness.

This isn’t just political—it’s spiritual. They chant “No kings!” with clenched fists, unaware they’re echoing the very rebellion that led Israel into ruin. “We have no king but Caesar,” they shouted when crucifying Jesus (John 19:15). The spirit behind this protest isn’t about justice. It’s about rejecting authority—ultimately, God’s.

What the radical left doesn’t understand is that America needs leadership with a backbone. Trump is by no means perfect but he is no dictator—he’s a defender of order in a time of chaos and he’s not afraid to do what’s right. The left screams about fascism while they light fires in the streets and burn down cars. If that’s their idea of freedom, no thank you. “For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good… But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason” (Romans 13:4).

Let them scream. Let them march. Let them chant all they want. But let the Church not be silent any longer. We don’t worship kings—we worship the King of kings. And in a nation crumbling under the weight of lawlessness, we thank God for leaders like Trump who are willing to stand firm and clean house no matter the cost.

Tomorrow, while they rage—let’s be praying. Praying that America wakes up before the fire they set burns down the very freedom they claim to fight for.
