The White House's official X account shared an image of Donald Trump and King Charles III captioned “TWO KINGS” during the King's state visit to the United States. California Gov. Gavin Newsom's Press Office account on X critically responded to the White House post, suggesting an alternative caption: “One is the King of the U.K. and the other is the King of Bulls***.”
King Charles III's Address to Congress
The image was posted as King Charles III delivered an historic address to a joint meeting of Congress, where he received applause for praising American democracy. During his speech, King Charles III emphasized the importance of checks and balances on leaders, citing the UK's Declaration of Rights of 1689 and the Magna Carta as inspirations for American constitutional principles.
Trump's Denial of King Title
Despite previously referring to himself as a King, Trump recently rejected the title in a 60 Minutes interview, stating he is “not a King,” amid ongoing “No Kings” protests against him.
