Is President Donald Trump the "imitation crab of kings"?
That was Jon Stewart's take on the latest episode of "The Daily Show," which covered the recent No Kings protests against the Trump administration. At the end of his segment, the comedian argued that Trump does have a lot in common with a king, including his "lavish sensibilities" and "entitled mind."
"Maybe Trump isn't an all-powerful king, the kind who can do whatever he wants," Stewart said. "But he's undeniably king adjacent, king-esque, moving for more. He's the imitation crab of kings right now, the 'I can't believe it's not king.'
"And the ironic part about Republicans complaining that he is being dubbed a king is that in their minds, he has already surpassed that title anyway and moved on to a much higher calling," he added before playing a montage of commentators praising Trump as a miracle worker and savior.
Millions of people turned out for the nationwide No Kings protests on Oct. 18, a series of rallies built around the idea that Trump is acting like a king as president and that America should not be lead by a monarch. Pedro Pascal and Kerry Washington were among the stars who joined civilians at the rallies.
