  • Stands above the law. ❌
  • Makes his own laws. ❌
  • Nullifies laws that don't suit him. ❌
  • Takes "gifts" for favors (political and personal). ❔
  • Pardons whomever he pleases. ❌
  • Has his friends and family ingrained in government. ❔
  • Holds a court of sycophants. ❔
  • Plans to stay in power indefinitely. ✔️
  • Meddles with election results. ❌
  • Tells the people his appointment is an act of God.❔
  • Will choose/appoint his successor upon his death. ❌
  • Denies words of the leader of the Catholic church, as if he stands above them. ❌
  • Renames landmarks and architecture after himself. ❌
  • Refuses to be (de-?)elected out of office. ✔️
  • Has his own armed forces outside of a standing army. ❌

Out of that list I'd say 2 apply (but they're really the same thing), 4 are maybes, and 9 don't apply to King Charles. He has very little real power. Influence, maybe, but the royals have a policy of never speaking on political topics.

You haven't got a king in the US. You've got a dictator.
