Haha, yep I didn't get the reference at first either, neither did my wife and she's Canadian. (So she's used to Queen Elizabeth and now King Charles as King of Canada) I was more used to Koninginnedag or Queen's day though, what I grew up with. Anyway both used to King just meaning some (99%) powerless ceremonial state head. I wish Trump was just that lol.
It really should have been "No Dictator Day" but I guess that's still a bit too controversial for the US public. That's what Trump is aspiring to be.
King's day is one of the things I do miss about The Netherlands, always a great day.
