It's good to be the King!

by digby

Trump himself tweeted this out today:


This democracy thing "isn't working" so I'm guessing this red white and blue lion will be his new coat of arms when he becomes America's king.

Lions have a longstanding association with monarchy. Very long.

There's this guy, who symbolized so many victories they were coming out of their ears for centuries!



Then there's thins which cuts a little bit closer to home:


Dieu et mon droit (meaning God and my right) is the motto of the Monarch of the United Kingdom outside Scotland. It appears on a scroll beneath the shield of the version of the coat of arms of the United Kingdom used outside Scotland The motto is said to have first been used by Richard I as a battle cry and presumed to be a reference to the divine right of the Monarch to govern. It was adopted as the royal motto of England by King Henry V with the phrase "and my right" referring to his claim to the French crown. 

I'm sure Trump would have a coat of arms. In fact he already does. A nice heraldic lion could be added with no problem:





Those are real, folks.  This is how he sees himself.
