Divine Right of Kings asserts that a monarch is not accountable to any earthly authority because their right to rule is derived from divine authority. The monarch is not subject to We the People.
‪Only divine authority can judge a monarch, and any attempt to question, contradict, resist or restrict their authority runs contrary to God's will.‬‬‬‬
But remember, Trump is not a king, right? Right?
