As a non native English speaker, "rulers" isn't problematic for me.

Is it really that pejorative ?

It means like king/queen/emperor, you wouldn't use it for an elected official, so here it is more sarcastic because Trump is acting like he is an emperor.

It has a cultural weight because of the emphasis on the Revolution.
