Gotta admit that this has been a pretty damned perplexing part of the movie, but one which I believe will make itself more clear in time. Maybe it's part of an ugly future narrative/revelation that will further get us away from king/personality worship and make us eternally skeptical of everyone in these powerful positions, NO M ATTER WHO they are or how much we love them.
God bless you and keep you from harm, this day and forever.
