Trump Receives Gold CROWN As South Korean President Lee Hails ‘Golden Age’​

Former U.S. President Donald Trump was presented with an enormous gold crown by South Korean President Lee Jae Myung in Gyeongju — a symbolic gesture marking what Lee called “a new golden age” between the two nations. The moment comes just weeks after mass “No Kings” protests in the U.S., where millions accused Trump of authoritarianism. As Trump admired the glittering gift and South Korea praised his diplomacy with North Korea, critics saw irony — and controversy — in every frame

NOTE: During President Trump's visit to South Korea on October 29, 2025, he was presented with two prestigious gifts by South Korean President Lee Jae Myung: the Grand Order of Mugunghwa, South Korea’s highest national honor, and a replica of a golden crown from the ancient Silla dynasty

Yes, Asian leaders groveling to please POTUS is historic.

Take South Korea:

"According to Mr. Kim, the United States will now lower import tariffs on South Korean goods to 15 percent from the 25 percent rate that went into effect in August. In addition, he said the United States agreed to accept cash investments of up to $20 billion a year, and set aside another $150 billion to invest in its American shipbuilding operations."

IOW, pay up ($20 Billion / year) or face higher tarrifs.

Gangster dimplomacy.

We're wrapping up our live coverage of Trump's Japan visit. Here's what happened:

• Japan and the U.S. agreed to a deal on new-generation nuclear power reactors and rare earths.
• The two governments also released a list of projects in energy, artificial intelligence and critical minerals in which Japanese companies are eyeing investments of up to $400 billion in the U.S.
• Trump said Japan also plans to purchase Ford's burly F-150 pickup truck, a symbol of how far Tokyo is willing to go to win his favour.
• He also praised Japan's efforts to buy more U.S. defence equipment, while Takaichi said his role in securing ceasefires between Cambodia and Thailand, and Israel and Palestinian militants, was an "unprecedented" achievement.
• The two leaders also visited a U.S. naval base near Tokyo.

You guessed wrong. I’ve never even heard of this award.

Why is this so important to you? Does it help you feel better about Trump if he’s constantly being praised and rewarded by other foreign leaders?

Donald Trump is the only American President who has been awarded the Grand Order of Mugunghwa

"By statute, the Grand Order of Mugunghwa is the highest decoration in Korea; however, in the eyes of the public, it is not well regarded. Many Koreans feel that the order has far less significance. This is because it is self-awarded and is based on winning an election, not on any positive achievements for the country. It is also given to foreign heads of state, not necessarily because of what they have done for Korea, but for what they may do for Korea in the future."

They just know that if they stroke Trump's giant ego they get anything they want and then laugh at him behind his back. LOL

Commander in Chief visits troops in Japan

Trump "told U.S. troops stationed in Japan Tuesday that he was prepared to send “more than the National Guard” to American cities to safeguard and enforce his immigration agenda—a threat that could apparently involve any branch of America’s armed forces.

Speaking with reporters aboard Air Force One on his way to South Korea hours later, Trump clarified that he would do whatever is “necessary” to tackle crime, even if that meant ordering the U.S. military onto American soil.
“I would do that if it was necessary, if it was necessary I’d do that, but it hasn’t been necessary,” Trump said on the plane. “We’re doing a great job without that—is necessary. As you know, I’m allowed to do that.
“And I’d be allowed to do whatever I want, but we haven’t chosen to do that,” he continued. “And the courts wouldn’t get involved. Nobody would get involved. And I can send the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines. I can send anybody I wanted.”

Meanwhile......his nation is falling apart.

the economy is booming, the tariffs are working - there are now nine peace agreements - the borders are secure - we are actively fighting drug cartels, the streets are getting safer. Mortgage rates just dropped again - cost of gas is down again -

You guessed wrong. I’ve never even heard of this award.

Why is this so important to you? Does it help you feel better about Trump if he’s constantly being praised and rewarded by other foreign leaders?

Why is his receiving it so aggravating to you? Does it make you feel worse about your position? Why does the President of The United States being recognized and applauded for achieving things not done in the last 40 years offend you so very much.

Don't we want our allies to applaud us? Work with us and show appreciation for what our President is doing? Why does it bother you so much that our allies are showing gratitude?

The first American President to be awarded the countries highest honor and all you can do is try to minimize it?

Hogwash - there are always nay sayers - the first American President is awarded the countries highest honor and all you can do is try to minimize it?

Care to back up your characterization with a different perspective from Korea?

Care to back up your characterization with a different perspective from Korea?

You mean besides the Leader of the Nation publicly praising what the President has done and giving him an honor that the country has never given an American President?

 

[GoldenBoy89]

Why is his receiving it so aggravating to you?

Again, you’re seeing things that aren’t there. There’s no aggravation on my part. I don’t care.

I’m asking why you do.

Does it make you feel worse about your position? Why does the President of The United States being recognized and applauded for achieving things not done in the last 40 years offend you so very much.

You’re not very good at reading people’s emotions through text. I’m not offended in the least by this. I’m just curious why it’s so important to you but you won’t answer that directly for some reason.

Don't we want our allies to applaud us? Work with us and show appreciation for what our President is doing? Why does it bother you so much that our allies are showing gratitude?

I don’t think they’re showing gratitude. I think our allies and leaders around the world have figured out the way to get Donald on their side is to shower him with shiny trinkets and gifts to feed his ego. I’m surprised you haven’t caught onto that yet.

Well not really surprised. Amused is more like it.

 

[wing2000]

You mean besides the Leader of the Nation publicly praising what the President has done and giving him an honor that the country has never given an American President?

Yes. Alas, I was sharing the significance from a Korean perspective. I forgot....all that matters is adulation for our "Leader of the Nation" with shiny objects around his neck.

I offered the information with no editorial, and your instant thought is my adulation for the President. Why did the mere mention of the award elicit such a response from you - if I can be so bold - your not very good at mind reading either.

There were no emotions in my original post - just information on an event. Yet here we are still with the complaints....hmmm....

Is that direct enough of an answer? IOW - you missed it.

I don’t think they’re showing gratitude. I think our allies and leaders around the world have figured out the way to get Donald on their side is to shower him with shiny trinkets and gifts to feed his ego. I’m surprised you haven’t caught onto that yet.

Thank you for sharing what you think - we disagree - I think the Leaders of these nations are being honest
