Lost in all this concern over “King Trump,” however, has been a declaration of monarchy much closer to home: everyone bow down to Emperor Joe DoVinh! On Aug. 31, 2025, Garden Grove Mayor Pro Tem DoVinh declared the founding of a new “borderless” Vietnamese constitutional monarchy – the kingdom of Viet Dai. According to Joe, depending on when you ask him, Garden Grove is three to four times larger than Westminster and has a population of 300,000 to 400,000 residents. The actual population of Garden Grove, per the U.S. Census Bureau, is about 172,000. Garden Grove is certainly larger, but not by as much as Joe loves to boast, at least once a month.)
