What Is Anti-King? Push to impeach Trump for acting like a monarch

As Donald Trump's policies are shaking up the United States and global political and economic scenarios, a growing grassroots movement is calling for immediate action—impeachment.

Dubbed Operation Anti-King , this initiative accuses Trump of behaving like a monarch, threatening democracy and violating constitutional norms . The campaign challenges the congress to act decisively before authoritarian tendencies become permanent features of American governance.

What is Operation Anti-King?

Operation Anti-King is an effort to push for the impeachment of Donald Trump on the grounds of tyranny—a charge rooted in history and American law. The name itself is a reference to the fear that Trump, through his actions and rhetoric, is acting more like a king than a democratically elected leader.

The campaign began after Trump resumed office, with citizens contacting congressional offices across the country, according to MSNBC. Their message is simple: the constitution is under threat, and Congress must act. This effort has led to a handful of Democratic lawmakers—such as Reps. Ilhan Omar, Maxine Waters, and Shri Thanedar—publicly supporting impeachment.

Supporters of the campaign point to specific actions: undermining the separation of powers , threatening critics, encouraging violence, and bypassing legal processes. Rather than citing isolated scandals, Operation Anti-King accuses Trump of a broader constitutional offence—tyranny.

Since his return to the White House, Trump has cracked down on trade policy, immigration and the size of the federal government and more, leading to multiple protests, lawsuits, and global backlash.

Trump was impeached twice by the US house of representatives during his first term in office, becoming the first president in American history to face impeachment twice. However, in both cases, the senate voted to acquit him, allowing him to remain in office until the end of his term.
