Though Republicans profess to despise Big Government, especially the federal kind, it seems that what they really don’t like is Democracy — and indeed prefer a monarchy. They’ve elected a king whether they realize it or not! Who knows what Melania really thinks?

And don’t forget, when the king parades buck naked down Worth Avenue, be sure to note the finery and the richness of his raiment.
