Meet King Don and King John – Part 2 of 3, Part 3 of 3 After Donald Trump’s second election as president in November 2024, he said coyly that he wanted to be a dictator … but just for a day. On his first day in office, his sharpie signed an impressive pile of presidential orders, many of dubious legality. The next day he continued to govern like a DIY duce. He has not stopped since. https://www.ipsnews.net/2026/04/no-kings-meet-king-don-and-king-john-part-1-of-3/ Copyright 2026 © IPS - Inter Press Service -- No Kings?

However, our wannabe monarch should consider one more exemplar, this one fictitious: Lewis Carroll’s Red Queen could be another spiritual ancestor of the Golden Emperor. After all, his Bling Dynasty has been a creature of fiction more than fact. https://www.ipsnews.net/2026/04/no-kings-meet-king-don-and-king-john-part-3-of-3/ Copyright 2026 © IPS - Inter Press Service --

On 13 April, she filed a complaint alleging genocide against Myanmar’s president, Min Aung Hlaing, to Indonesia’s Attorney General’s Office. Min Aung Hlaing led the 2021 coup that ousted a democratically elected government and this month was named president following a sham election held amid intense repression, rubber stamping the army’s continuing grip on power. However secure he appears in his position, Yasmin Ullah’s legal action offers hope his impunity may not be guaranteed. Copyright 2026 © IPS - Inter Press Service --
