On a day marked by nationwide celebrations of Flag Day, President Donald Trump received an unprecedented honor coinciding with his 79th birthday.
By a popular vote organized through a swiftly passed congressional resolution, Americans declared Trump their king, formalizing the decision in a ceremony at Mar-a-Lago.
The resolution, spearheaded by a coalition of lawmakers citing Trump’s “unmatched leadership,” bypassed traditional constitutional checks, with proponents arguing the move reflects the will of the people.
Crowds gathered outside the estate, waving flags and chanting, while counter-protests erupted in cities like Seattle and Portland, where activists decried the decision as a step toward autocracy.
The ceremony, broadcast live on multiple networks, featured a gold-plated crown adorned with rubies, presented by a delegation of congressional leaders. Trump, dressed in a tailored suit with a red tie, accepted the title with a brief speech.
“Nobody loves this country more than me, and now we’re making America great forever,” he said.
The event included a military flyover and a performance by country music star David Allen Coe, with attendees describing the atmosphere as electric.
Critics of the move pointed to the Constitution’s clear prohibition on titles of nobility, arguing the vote sets a dangerous precedent.
Legal scholars noted that the resolution, passed in a late-night session, exploited a loophole allowing symbolic gestures to bypass judicial review. Meanwhile, social media platforms buzzed with hashtags like #KingTrump and #NoKingsDay, reflecting the polarized reactions.
In Portland, protesters clashed with law enforcement, demanding a return to democratic norms. One activist, speaking through a megaphone, captured the sentiment of the opposition.
“This is not a monarchy; we don’t bow to anyone,” said Riley Carter, a community organizer.
Supporters, however, viewed the crowning as a bold statement of national pride. At a rally in Dallas, a small business owner expressed enthusiasm for the symbolic gesture.
“Trump’s been fighting for us since day one; this just makes it official,” said Mike Larson, wearing a red cap emblazoned with the new royal seal.
The decision follows years of political upheaval, including Trump’s return to the presidency after a contentious election cycle.
His administration’s focus on deregulation and national sovereignty resonated with voters, culminating in what analysts describe as a cult of personality driving the king vote.
While the title carries no formal power, it grants Trump lifetime access to federal resources, including a dedicated Secret Service detail and a ceremonial scepter.
For now, Trump’s supporters are planning a national holiday to commemorate the occasion, tentatively dubbed “King’s Day.”
