During his visit to South Korea, President Trump was given the royal treatment.
South Korean President Lee Jae Myung honored President Trump with a gift fit for a king — a gigantic, gold crown to usher in the “golden age of the Korea-U.S. alliance!”
Watch the awesome moment President Trump was given the crown right here:
🚨 WOW! South Korea just gifted a Cheonmachong GOLD CROWN to President Trump — the first EVER American president to receive the honor.
That’s respect!
Cue the meltdowns, they’re going to say “No Kings” 🤣

Interestingly, the crown is actually a replica from the historical Silla dynasty.
Time explained:
Lee gave Trump a specially gilded replica of an ancient Korean kingdom crown in a ceremony at Gyeongju National Museum in Gyeongju. The original crown, which is more than 1,000 years old, was excavated from Cheonmachong tomb in the 1970s and is considered a national treasure. A South Korean official explained to Trump that it “symbolizes the divine connection between the authority of the heavens and sovereignty on earth, as well as the strong leadership and authority of a leader.” The official added that Lee was gifting him the crown to commemorate his state visit and in recognition of a “golden age of the Korea-U.S. alliance.”
South Korea also presented President Trump with their country’s highest civilian honor, complete with a stunning medallion on a gold necklace.

President Trump just made history again, because this is the first time South Korea has ever awarded a U.S. president with such an honor.
Reuters reported:
Lee’s office said that in recognition of Trump’s role as a “peacemaker” on the Korean peninsula, he was awarded the “Grand Order of Mugunghwa”, which is named after South Korea’s national flower, a pink hibiscus also known as the Rose of Sharon in English.“I’d like to wear it right now,” Trump said when presented with the glittering award. A South Korean official said he was the first U.S. president to receive the honour.
After President Trump received these incredible gifts, he was treated to a lunch which featured a blend of both American and Korean cuisine.
Here’s the menu:

The timing of this — right after the leftist ‘No Kings’ protests — of course, is hilarious.
Just wait for the liberals to start freaking out!
Patriots on X have a few ideas on how President Trump can “do a little trolling” with his new gift…
Take a look at some of these very funny responses:
Trump should wear it when he gives a SOTU speech. 🤣

I hope he wears it every time he does a presser with the media.
It’ll send them even more crazy🤣👑— DarkModeOnly (@DarkModeOnly01) October 29, 2025
There is only one way President Trump should bring that giant gold crown home from South Korea pic.twitter.com/VR2E1tvzIX
