The “No Kings” losers have been notably quiet as we hosted an actual king here in the United States. On Tuesday, while welcoming King Charles III of the United Kingdom (and no, Rep. Omar, he is not the one-hundred and eleventh King Charles), President Trump delivered some remarks that, frankly, are among his best. He highlighted the historical relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States while also emphasizing a strong sense of American exceptionalism.
Amazing line from @POTUS:
“In recent years, we’ve often heard it said that America is merely an idea. But the cause of freedom did not simply appear as an intellectual invention of 1776. The American founding was the culmination of hundreds of years of thought, struggle, sweat,… pic.twitter.com/1qEZj3x3bR

He said:
Here in the shadows of monuments to George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, honoring the British King might seem an ironic beginning to our celebration of 250 years of American independence, but in fact, no tribute could be more appropriate.
Long before Americans had a nation or a constitution, we first had culture, a character, and a creed. Before we ever proclaimed our independence, Americans carried within us the rarest of gifts: moral courage, and it came from a small but mighty kingdom from across the sea. For nearly two centuries before the Revolution, this land was settled and forged by men and women who bore in their souls the blood and noble spirit of the British here on this wild, untamed continent. They set loose the ancient English love of liberty and the Great Britain’s distinctive sense of glory, destiny, and pride. And that’s what it is, glory, destiny, and pride.
The American patriots who pledged their lives to Independence in 1776 were heirs to this majestic inheritance. Their veins ran with Anglo-Saxon courage. Their hearts beat with an English faith in standing firm for what is right, good, and true.
This statement is accurate to the 100th power. Today, despite significant waves of immigration from countries such as Italy, Ireland, Germany, and China, America’s culture still retains many elements from our Anglo-Saxon origins. A significant portion of our legal system is based on English common law. The concept of individual rights began in Europe, particularly in what is now the United Kingdom, with documents like the Magna Carta. We have historically shared much more than just a common language.
And while the UK appears to be allowing their 1000-year culture and heritage be absorbed and destroyed by mass Muslim immigration, Trump made it clear America isn’t gonna go that quietly into the night:
It comes in mens and womens and lets your friends know you're happy to express your views and don't care what anyone thinks! Cheers!
In recent years, we’ve often heard it said that America is merely an idea. But the cause of freedom did not simply appear as an intellectual invention of 1776. The American founding was the culmination of hundreds of years of thought, struggle, sweat, blood, and sacrifice on both sides of the Atlantic.
Fate drew a long arc from the meadow at Runnymede to the streets of Philadelphia that ran through the lives of people born and bred on the British code that no man should be denied either justice or right.
American patriots today can sing ‘My country ’tis of thee, sweet land of liberty’ only because our colonial ancestors first sang ‘God save the King.’
That’s right, America is not “just an idea.” We are a people. We have a heritage, a culture, and a record of success. We have the best form of government on the planet, and while many of our politicians suck (looking at you, communist ‘Democrats’), our system is second to none.
Kudos to our president for reminding us – again – of how grand we really are.
