О смысле всего сущего

The phrase "Trump is king" is a hyperbolic expression often used by his most ardent supporters to convey unwavering loyalty and admiration, framing him as an unassailable leader or savior figure for America. It's not a literal claim of monarchy (which the U.S. Constitution explicitly rejects), but a rhetorical flourish in MAGA culture, echoing biblical or historical kingship imagery to emphasize his perceived strength and indispensability. This sentiment appears frequently in online discourse, memes, and rally chants, but quantifying it precisely is challenging—it's more vibe than verifiable count. That said, we can approximate based on polling data for his core base.

Scale of Trump's "Kingdom"

Recent 2025 polls provide a proxy for the number of Americans who view him in near-reverential terms (e.g., as a "strong leader" who puts America first, with approval ratings reflecting deep personal allegiance rather than mere policy support). His overall approval hovers around 37–41% of U.S. adults, but the "king-like" devotion is concentrated among his most enthusiastic backers: self-identified MAGA supporters, who make up about 36% of registered voters. With roughly 168 million registered voters in the U.S. (and ~258 million total adults), this translates to:

In short: To ~60 million die-hard devotees, Trump is king—an orange-crowned disruptor who's "putting America first" like no one since Reagan (or, in their eyes, ever). This group's online echo chamber amplifies the rhetoric, with X posts like "Trump is a Biblical-tier king figure" or "I'll take King Trump over any other President" racking up thousands of likes. Critics, meanwhile, use the same phrase mockingly to highlight perceived authoritarianism, with "No Kings" protests drawing millions in opposition. (Only ~7% of Americans outright say he should be king, per YouGov.)

If we're talking global "bowers" (fans abroad who idolize him), add a few million more from populist movements in Europe and beyond—but that's fuzzier territory. Ultimately, his "reign" is built on charisma, not crowns: 74 million voted for it in 2024, and polls show his base remains fiercely loyal despite controversies. Long live the troll? Or the tycoon? Depends on your throne.
