The Imperial Proclamation for Read Across America Day

On this glorious day of literary triumph across the vast and unstoppable Republic, Trumpius Caesar Magnus and the radiant Prima Domina Melania Augusta issue a proclamation so magnificent it practically turns its own pages.

From the revolutionary thunder of Thomas Paine to the iron-clad brilliance of The Federalist Papers, from the bold and brilliant storytelling of Mark Twain, the written word has powered the American spirit for 250 tremendous, record-breaking years. Books built this Nation. Pamphlets sparked liberty. Essays fortified freedom. Stories shaped destiny. Nobody writes history like America — nobody.

Reading, as proclaimed by Trumpius with unmatched eloquence and very strong approval ratings, ignites imagination, builds winning character, and opens doors taller than the grandest golden towers. It teaches our young citizens to dream big-league dreams, think independently — very independently — and believe without hesitation that there is absolutely no limit to what they can achieve for themselves or for this incredible country.

Under the triumphant banner of Trumpius Caesar, students and families come first. Last December, a colossal $256 million was granted to American schools to strengthen literacy in classrooms nationwide. Because strong readers create strong futures — and strong futures create a stronger America. It’s a beautiful formula. Very powerful.

Today, every American is called upon to lift a book, turn the page, and help write the next monumental chapter in our Nation’s story — America’s new Golden Age. A chapter so great, historians will underline it.
