Washington, DC — Today, Ezra Levin, co-executive director of Indivisible, released the following statement:
“Trump has never wanted to be president. He’s wanted to be a king. This royal bribe he’s accepting is so shameless that it’s fracturing his own coalition of supporters and MAGA pundits—some of the most shameless people in the country.
“This is right in line with his plan to spend millions of dollars to throw himself a birthday celebration parade, paid for by us, the taxpayers.
“Trump wants to be king. The reason he wants to be king is to self-enrich. The way he’s doing that is by turning the United States into a billionaire-friendly oligarchy. The way he’s paying for that is by throwing millions of people off their health insurance, gutting SNAP, and slashing funding for every federal program people depend on.
“Fortunately, in the United States, the people have a say. On June 14, we’ll be showing up in every city in the country to remind him: We don’t do kings here.”
