He frequently touts luxury trips across the continent, often highlighting stays at extravagant hotels in France and Italy.

Past meetings with leaders like Angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron have been characterized by public friction and private flattery.

His insistence on increased European defense spending earned headlines and political headlines on both sides of the Atlantic.

During these stints, Trump often shared personal opinions, calling some leaders “friends” while dismissing others as “weak.”

In recent years, Trump has also hinted at informal European influence, claiming to mediate on global issues without formal recognition.

This new label fits a pattern of self-bestowed titles and nicknames Trump has adopted before.

He famously referred to himself as a “stable genius” and claimed accolades that were never verified.

The U.S. president claimed that Europeans now refer to him as the “President of Europe.”

Speaking to reporters Monday, Trump called it an “honour” to receive this alleged recognition.

Yet, there’s zero evidence that anyone in Europe actually uses this moniker.

The claim quickly sparked both confusion and amusement across social media platforms.

“It’s an honour. I like Europe and I like those people,” Trump added.

Diplomatic context unraveled.

Following that, Trump engaged European leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Washington.

He boasted about the gathering, saying: “We’ve never had a case where seven, plus 28 – essentially 35, 38 – countries were represented here the other day.”

The numerical flourish seemed intended to emphasize the magnitude of the event.

Public reaction clarified.

Unsurprisingly, the “President of Europe” claim was met with mockery online.

Users flooded Twitter with jokes, imagining Trump with a crown overseeing the continent.

Major European media outlets found no reference to the title in any diplomatic or journalistic record.

Analysts suggest this may be a strategic exaggeration to project influence on the international stage.

While Trump’s supporters praised his “bold” statements, critics dismissed the title as pure fantasy.

Officials didn’t immediately provide examples of Europeans actually using this term.

Trump doubles down.

The self-styled title echoes other times Trump has elevated his image in global contexts.

Regardless of authenticity, the statement quickly went viral, trending across multiple social media platforms.

Political commentators noted that no sitting U.S. president has ever claimed European-wide leadership in this manner.

Memes, threads, and satirical articles amplified the story, keeping it alive throughout the day.

Yet Trump doubled down, repeating the title while praising Europe and its leaders during the press briefing.

In a jaw-dropping moment, the president insisted, “They call me the president of Europe, which is an honour,” leaving observers both baffled and entertained.
