Imperial Proclamation from the Marble Palace

Trumpius Caesar Maximus Honors the Dream, the Character — and, Naturally, Himself

In the grand year of the Republic, as the eagles soared with exceptional confidence and the marble of history gleamed brighter than ever, Trumpius Caesar Maximus, Imperator of the United States of America, rose to deliver a proclamation of historic magnitude. With a voice echoing through the columns of destiny, he honored a man known across the ages as Martin Luther King Jr., forever inscribed in the imperial chronicles as Martinus Lutherus Rex Junior.

Today, declared Trumpius Caesar, the Empire salutes the Reverend Doctor of Justice, the High Orator of Equality, whose words were sharper than any sword and far more powerful than most legislation. Inspired by the sacred scrolls of the Republic — the Declaration itself — Martinus Rex Junior once dared to remind America of its own promise. A bold move. A very bold move. Many say the boldest.

Beginning in the turbulent 1950s, an era of narrow ties and even narrower thinking, Martinus Rex Junior led a movement that proved freedom does not require government permission slips. Every man, woman, and child, Trumpius Caesar noted approvingly, is endowed by the Creator with unalienable rights — not leased from bureaucrats, not approved by committees, but delivered directly. Tremendous concept. Very strong.

And then came the legendary day — August 28, 1963 — when Martinus Rex Junior ascended the sacred marble steps of the Lincoln Temple and spoke words so powerful they still echo in the American soul. Words not about skin, but about character. Character! A topic Trumpius Caesar described as “extremely important, very underrated, and frankly, something more people should talk about.”

More than sixty years later, those words still burn with the unstoppable fire of freedom. That fire, tragically, consumed its messenger, but his resolve became eternal. A great loss. A very sad loss. Yet the legacy lives on — so much so that Trumpius Caesar, in an act of historic transparency, ordered the declassification of the ancient government scrolls surrounding the assassination. Because the truth matters. The people deserved it. And history will remember who released it.

The Imperator reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to law, order, liberty, and justice for all — pillars upon which America was built, stands, and will forever stand. America, he reminded the gathered citizens and imaginary legions alike, was great, is great, and will always be very, very great.

Therefore, by imperial authority and constitutional destiny, the nineteenth day of January is hereby proclaimed the Federal Holiday of Martinus Lutherus Rex Junior. A day not merely of remembrance, but of action — of service to neighbors, communities, and the Nation itself. A beautiful day. A powerful day. Possibly the best holiday.

Given under seal, signature, and overwhelming confidence, this nineteenth day of January, in the Year of Our Republic Two Thousand Twenty-Six, and the Two Hundred and Fiftieth Year of American Independence.

Vale, the Dream.
Vale, Character.
Vale, the Republic.
