Trump Proposes Constitutional Reform to Establish Monarchy in the United States

WASHINGTON — President Donald J. Trump announced a proposal to replace the American democratic system with a monarchy, calling it a “bold solution” to restore national greatness. Speaking from his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, Trump argued that hereditary rule offers stability, efficiency, and “a lot less fake news.”

In remarks Trump said that democracy has become “too messy” and “too slow” for modern challenges. He suggested that adopting a monarchy would eliminate partisan gridlock and allow leaders to “focus on winning instead of whining.”

Legal scholars immediately noted that the U.S. Constitution prohibits such a shift. Article IV, Section 4 guarantees a republican form of government for every state. Trump, however, dismissed objections, insisting that the Constitution has been amended before and “could use a little freshening up.”

Political analysts compared Trump’s comments to historical monarchies in the United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia. While critics warned of authoritarian overreach, supporters at the event cheered and chanted, “Hail to the King.”
