> I mean the guy was elected, so obviously not a king.

The point of the protest is to prevent him from making himself a king.

> And couldn't even change the name of the art center, so not that powerful.

This is really weak cherry picking. He has successfully removed medical care from millions of Americans, started foreign wars of aggression, destabilised several countries, probably tanked US international reputation for a generation... he is incredibly powerful.

Trump did actually get the name changed, then a court said take it down, so he closed the arts center down in spite, which it remains to this day

You could argue he did change the name: the name “Kennedy” is nowhere to be found on the building. The Kennedy Center is in state of existing but also not. It’s mandated to exist, it’s funded, there’s laws and courts that say it should be opened and operational… and yet, it isn’t because one man doesn’t want it to be.
