A supporter of President Donald Trump attending a major patriotic celebration in Washington, DC, said on Wednesday that he hoped to see Barron Trump become 'King of America' ahead of the United States' preparation to mark the 250th anniversary of its independence from British rule and rejection of monarchy.
The news came during the launch of the Great American State Fair on the National Mall, part of a programme of events tied to the country's 250th birthday celebrations. The anniversary commemorates the founding of the United States in 1776, when the nation's founders broke from the British Crown and established a constitutional republic rather than a hereditary monarchy.
