Enjoy the upcoming reign of your MEGA despot!
Hail Diaper Don, the Orange One, First of His deplorable ilk.
As always California leads the nation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emperor_Norton

Joshua Abraham Norton (February 4, 1818 – January 8, 1880) was a
resident of San Francisco, California, who in 1859 declared
himself "Emperor of these United States" in a proclamation that he
signed "Norton I., Emperor of the United States". Commonly known
as Emperor Norton, he took the secondary title "Protector of
Mexico" in 1866.

Born in England and raised in South Africa, Norton left Cape Town
in late 1845, sailing from Liverpool to Boston in early 1846 and
eventually arriving in San Francisco in late 1849. After a brief
period of prosperity, Norton made a business gambit in late 1852
that played out poorly, ultimately forcing him to declare
bankruptcy in 1856.

Norton proclaimed himself "Emperor of these United States" in
September 1859, a role he played for the rest of his life. Norton
had no formal political power but was treated deferentially in San
Francisco and elsewhere in California, and currency issued in his
name was honored in some of the establishments he frequented. Some
considered Norton to be insane or eccentric, but residents of San
Francisco and the city's larger Northern California orbit enjoyed
his imperial presence and took note of his frequent newspaper
proclamations. Norton received free ferry and train passage and a
variety of favors, such as help with rent and free meals, from
well-placed friends and sympathizers. Some of the city's merchants
capitalized on his notoriety by selling souvenirs bearing his
image. He died January 8, 1880.
