I'm three hops from Richard Feynman. (Two from Murray Gell-Mann.) Doesn't exactly make me a theoretical physicist.
Off the top of my head, in terms of degrees of separation I managed to get from myself to *Jimi Hendrix* in "three hops," this is a WILD assertion to make

A normal president could actually defuse this by saying:
Oh you silly hysterical protesters. I'm your elected president and of course I don't want to be king.
As far as I know, Trump has not taken that tack because he wants to be treated like royalty and can't even bring himself to pretend.

Happening now: at Kedzie and 40th, where Border Patrol agents just opened fire on rapid response this afternoon. A woman CFD says they found after the incident is reported in fair condition.
A growing number of outraged neighbors have gathered across from ICE/CBP agents who have closed Kedzie.

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality.
