President Donald Trump has received a black belt in Taekwon-Do, the South Korean martial art. The award was given to him by the Kukkiwon, the school of the World Taekwondo Academy. It marks Trump's first black belt, and it comes at a time when his remarks about martial arts and his racist rhetoric have roiled the world.

The black belt, the ninth degree, is usually given to experienced martial artists who have been practicing for years. As President of the United States, the President will use his new title to promote the sport. Moreover, he will be able to display it proudly at his Mar-a-Lago golf course. As a result, he will be able to advertise martial arts in his club, and he will also be able to use it for political purposes.

The former President has vowed to wear full-taekwondo gear during his next appearance in congress if he wins the election again. In addition, the former President has a home in Palm Beach and has visited the sport's headquarters in Korea and other countries. While there, he met taekwondo instructors and autographed a book, which he signed for organization members.
