"Someone woke Biden up, and he literally said, 'In a democracy, there are no kings.' He was aiming for Trump, but ended up overseas," Zakharova wrote on her Telegram channel.
She added ironically that it was now time for the British King Charles III to wake up and realize that there was no democracy in his country.
According to the diplomat, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe will also have more work to do, as it will have to issue a resolution condemning Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, and other monarchies for their retreat from democracy.
On November 7, Biden, speaking at a Democratic Party event in Omaha, declared that Trump's actions were a disgrace to the United States. He emphasized that there are no kings in a democracy and cited the demolition of the East Wing of the White House as one of the symbols of Trump's second term. This is precisely what Trump is doing to democracy, the Constitution, and the rule of law, Biden added.

Biden said Trump's actions disgrace the United States.
Former US President Joe Biden said on November 7 that current US leader Donald Trump is a disgrace to the country.
"I want you to understand, Mr. President, you work for us, not us for you. You work for us, not just the billionaires and millionaires. I'm angry. <…> This is a democracy, and in a democracy there are no kings, and his actions are a disgrace to us as a country," Biden said during a speech at a Democratic Party event in Omaha.
The former US leader drew a parallel between the demolition of the East Wing of the White House and Trump's approach to governing the country.
"Have you seen what he did to the East Wing <…> of the White House? It's a great symbol of his presidency," Biden emphasized.
According to the former US President, Trump is doing exactly the same with democracy, the constitution, and the rule of law.
Earlier, the White House chief stated from the UN General Assembly that the United States was the butt of ridicule around the world during Biden's presidency. According to the American leader, the situation has now changed and the United States once again enjoys international respect.
In May, the American leader accused Biden's entourage of treason. According to Trump, the former US president's entourage was aware of his physical and mental health problems but concealed them, jeopardizing the country's security.
