Kings tend to rule through their networks within the aristocracy, winning loyalty through patronage and through dispensation of special favors.
The power of the presidency is, at it's heart, the power to appointment federal officials, to direct the spending of public money, and to regulate trade (not unlike that of a king). I'm not sure how you intend to stop Trump from appointing new judges, new cabinet secretaries, or new generals. I'm not sure how you "say no" to how Trump allocates federal money or imposes tariffs.
You're going to need to put more on the table than "We can't give up!" I'm not sure what we're giving up that we had to begin with.
