Resolution criteria:
This market will resolve to "Yes" if, between May 3, 2025, and May 3, 2026, Donald Trump publicly refers to himself as a "king" in any form of communication, including but not limited to social media posts, speeches, interviews, or official statements. The reference must be direct and unambiguous. If no such public statement is made within the specified timeframe, the market will resolve to "No."
Background:
In February 2025, President Donald Trump referred to himself as a "king" in a social media post celebrating the cancellation of New York City's congestion pricing plan. He wrote, "CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED. LONG LIVE THE KING!" The White House's official account further amplified this message by sharing an image of Trump wearing a crown. This self-referential declaration sparked significant backlash from various political figures and the public, who criticized the monarchical implication.
Given this precedent, there is a possibility that Trump may again publicly refer to himself as a "king" in the future. Traders should monitor his public communications for any such statements within the specified timeframe.

Looks like the creator is inactive; I've extended the resolution date.
@traders If I end up having to resolve this I'll probably only search a tiny bit and then resolve No by default. Link to sources if it happens to make sure I see them!
@creator You may wish to extend the close date to May 3, 2026, to match the time period covered by the market
