Yeah they crowned Donald J. Trump. Literally. President Lee Jae Myung handed him the Grand Order of Mugunghwa, South Korea’s highest honor, plus a gold crown modeled after one from the ancient Silla dynasty the kind of crown they usually keep behind glass, not hand to visiting presidents.
That’s not just a handshake and a photo op that’s royal treatment.
Let’s be real: when’s the last time you saw a U.S. president get this kind of respect overseas?
Obama got nice speeches.
Biden gets naps.
Trump? He gets crowns and trade deals.
And it’s not random. South Korea remembers what most of the media forgot Trump actually calmed things down with North Korea. He walked across the DMZ like it was a red carpet, looked Kim Jong Un dead in the eye, and somehow the world didn’t blow up. That’s a power move.
He even said the U.S. and South Korea had “pretty much” reached a trade deal which, if you speak fluent Trump, means it’s already done and everyone else will find out later.
Meanwhile, the press back home acts like this never happened. But facts are facts: when Trump shows up, world leaders roll out the gold. Nobody’s handing Biden a crown unless it’s from Burger King.
This isn’t about red or blue. It’s about red, white, and blue being respected again. Right now, America’s wearing the crown. 👑
