Donald Trump is flirting with annexing other countries. Now he dreams of the United States from Iceland to Mexico on his platform Truth Social.
With Canada has US President Donald Trump a fierce customs dispute Greenland he asserts control claims and with trading partners Mexico He was already in a clinch: Now the Republican is provoking with a map of North America that shows these countries and the Arctic island wrapped in the US flag. There is only one country name emblazoned on it: United States of America.
Into the one on the platform Truth Social published graphics were included, among other things Iceland and Cuba – Trump had already openly threatened to take over the badly hit Caribbean state. Trump did not comment on the map, but left it alone.
The US President repeatedly flirts with the desire to annex other countries and islands. In the case of Canada, Trump had hinted that the neighboring country would be the 51st federal state USA could become. He wants to buy Greenland and argues that only the USA can do it Denmark belonging island against desires, for example Russia or China defend.
Trump’s penchant for renaming
In his second term in office since 2025, Trump has already resorted to geographical renaming to demonstrate the dominance of the USA. First he baptized him Gulf of Mexico to “Gulf of America”. He recently ordered the renaming of Lake Ontario, through which the border with Canada runs, to “Lake America.”
Over the weekend he brought up a new idea that affects the USA itself. The US state of New Mexico could become “New America”. At least that’s what one of his posts on Truth Social suggested. He showed a map of the state with the word “Mexico” crossed out – instead it said “America.”
Other postings on Trump’s social media profile that he (or his team of communications consultants) published on Monday are also interesting. One of them shows an illustration – as so often created with artificial intelligence – of a man who is obviously the former US President Barack Obama resembles looking into a mirror. However, someone else is looking back from the mirror: Trump. Below it is the sentence “Who is the greatest president of all?”
Another photo montage shows all previous US presidents sorted by their legacy. There are categories like “almost great” or “great”, but also categories like “below average” or “total failure”. The Trump team has the Democrats in the latter category Jimmy Carter, Joe Biden and Barack Obama sorted. But also the Republican George W Bushwho occasionally appeared with moderate criticism of Trump. However, there is only one person at the top of the ranking: Donald Trump. His category is: “the greatest”.
