President Donald Trump declaring himself a \u2018king\u2019 has caused some critics to question whether the US is being considered a monarchy or a democracy.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday (19 February), 78-year-old\u00a0Trump<\/a>\u00a0used his own\u00a0social media<\/a>\u00a0platform, Truth Social, to write: \u201cCONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED. LONG LIVE THE KING!\u201d<\/p>\n

The comment came after the\u00a0Trump administration<\/a>\u00a0moved to end the New York City congestion pricing plan – a program which would see drivers entering the city in certain areas being charged.<\/p>\n

The White House claimed the\u00a0US<\/a>\u00a0federal government has jurisdiction over roads leading to New York and that the controversial toll would \u2018unfairly burden working-class residents in the region\u2019,\u00a0as per<\/a>\u00a0the BBC.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s statement has been reshared by the official White House X account alongside an illustrated picture in the style of a TIME Magazine cover.<\/p>\n

The image depicted the 47th President of the United States wearing a crown and featured the words\u00a0\u2018LONG LIVE THE KING\u2019 in the bottom left-hand corner<\/a>.<\/p>\n

An image of President Donald Trump wearing a crown was circulated online by the official White House X account (X\/@whitehouse)<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This seemingly computer-generated image has caused a flurry of social media users to comment on the upload.<\/p>\n

Taking to X to have their say, one critic wrote: \u201cIsn\u2019t the whole point of America even existing to not have a monarch?\u201d<\/p>\n

A second argued: \u201cI thought that we lived in a Democracy, not a Monarchy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe literally fought a revolution to NOT have a king,\u201d replied someone else, referring to the American Revolution, which took place between 1765 and 1783.<\/p>\n

Illinois\u2019 Democratic Governor, JB Pritzker, also responded to the faux magazine cover.<\/p>\n

He wrote: “As Governor of Illinois, my oath is to the Constitution of our state and our nation.<\/p>\n

“We don\u2019t have kings in America, and I won\u2019t bend the knee to one.”<\/p>\n

However, many Trump supporters liked the controversial post, with one typing: \u201cHe looks good in a crown, definitely should get one.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLooks like someone\u2019s feeling\u00a0royal<\/a>\u00a0today! The crown emoji is practically mandatory right now,\u201d another replied.<\/p>\n

A third commented: \u201cI VOTED FOR THIS!\u201d<\/p>\n
