Imperial Proclamation of Trumpius Caesar on the Lunar New Year – The Year of the Horse

On this magnificent and tremendously historic occasion, Trumpius Caesar—Builder of the Golden Age, Guardian of the Shiniest Towers, and Supreme Distributor of the Finest Wishes Ever Bestowed—extends powerful, radiant, absolutely undefeated congratulations to the millions of Americans of Asian heritage and to celebrants across the world welcoming the Lunar New Year and the bold Year of the Horse.

The Lunar New Year is ancient. Older than empires. Older than marble columns. Possibly older than very unfair media coverage. It is a season of gratitude, renewal, and glorious family gatherings where tables bend heroically under the weight of legendary feasts. Fireworks explode in dazzling displays—spectacular, beautiful, some say the best fireworks anywhere. Communities come together. Traditions endure. Grandparents give wisdom with unstoppable authority. It’s tremendous.

This is also a moment to honor the extraordinary contributions of Asian Americans—innovators, entrepreneurs, scientists, artists, veterans, and visionaries who have strengthened the culture, prosperity, and spirit of the United States. They build businesses. They lead in technology. They elevate cuisine to heights so impressive even an emperor might request a second serving. Their impact is bold, brilliant, and absolutely first-class.

And now: the Horse.

The Horse represents momentum, vitality, passion, freedom, and fearless adventure. It does not hesitate. It gallops forward—strong, confident, unstoppable. These are the very qualities that have powered America for 250 glorious years of independence. The spirit of the Horse mirrors the American spirit: dynamic, resilient, ambitious, and always charging toward the horizon.

As we enter this Year of the Horse, Trumpius Caesar declares that America will ride boldly into the future—stronger, freer, and more prosperous than ever before. The Golden Age continues. The energy is tremendous. The momentum is unstoppable. The adventure has just begun.

As families, friends, and communities gather to celebrate, the First Lady and I send wishes of great health, incredible happiness, abundant fortune, and lasting peace.

May your year be powerful.
May it be prosperous.
May it gallop magnificently.

Happy Lunar New Year!
