Hail Donald Caesar! or so some Trump backers want

President Donald Trump, yes.

But what about King Trump or even Donald Caesar?

The thoroughly un-American idea has been aired repeatedly in Washington since the Republican began his second term a month ago.

And it’s not just radiating from the wild fringes of Trump’s nationalist-populist Make America Great Again movement known as MAGA.

It’s coming from the 78-year-old billionaire himself.

“LONG LIVE THE KING!” Trump crowed Wednesday on his Truth Social platform to celebrate his government’s nixing of the New York City congestion pricing plan.

The White House then posted a fake magazine cover on its official X account, repeating the slogan and showing Trump wearing a golden crown.

Trump has a long history of suggesting he might serve more than the two terms allowed by the US Constitution.

What was often dismissed as joking during his first term looked darker after Trump refused to concede his 2020 loss to Joe Biden, then stoked his millions of followers to believe the election was rigged — culminating with the January 6, 2021 assault on the US Capitol.

As Trump launches his second presidency with an unprecedented demonstration of executive power — using the world’s richest man Elon Musk to dismantle swaths of the government — giddy supporters want even more.
