No Kings

See, folks, here's the thing:
in a republic, there is no king,
and in a democracy such as yours or ours,
no one is allowed to have absolute powers.
One of your president's tragic flaws
is that he believes he's above the law;
and while he has scaled the political heights,
it doesn't mean he can trample human rights.
The presidency is not a stepping stone
to giving orders from a gilded throne,
and his desire to be autocratic
is abhorrent. That's just axiomatic.

You had me right up until axiomatic, then I ran for my dictionary LOL as much as I agree, he is King, he obeys no laws.
