King Charles is More Pro-America Than Trump
A king is more pro-democracy than the American president. A king is more pro-America than America’s president.
A British King came to America to help it celebrate its independence, and so he gave a rousing speech about the importance of America’s checks on the Executive.
This means that a king is more pro democracy than the American president. A king is more pro-America than America’s president.

A visit that began inauspiciously with Republican Representative Lauren Boebert mistakenly referred to King Charles III as "King George" in an April 2026 interview had a stirring moment as the King gave a speech in front of the U.S. Congress in which he zealously advocated for the U.S.’s checks and balances on the executive branch (I.e., the president) to a standing ovation.
Charles knows what he did because here’s his face right after the checks and balances quote:
King Charles III said in part:
“The founding fathers were bold and imaginative rebels with a cause. Two hundred and fifty years ago, or as we say in the United Kingdom, “just the other day,” they declared independence. By balancing contending forces and drawing strength in diversity, they united 13 disparate colonies to forge a nation on the revolutionary idea of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
They carried with them and carried forward the great inheritance of the British Enlightenment, as well as the ideals which had an even deeper history in English common law and Magna Carta. These roots run deep, and they are still vital.
Our Declaration of Rights of 1689 was not only the foundation of our constitutional monarchy, but also provided a source of so many of the principles reiterated, often verbatim, in the American Bill of Rights of 1791.
And those roots go even further back in history. The U.S. Supreme Court Historical Society has calculated that Magna Carta is cited in at least 160 Supreme Court cases since 1789, not least as the foundation of the principle that executive power is subject to checks and balances.”

He also boldly defended NATO and Ukraine.
