President Donald Trump shared an unusual AI-generated video on Truth Social Saturday showing an army of heavily armed geese with muscular human arms and hairstyles resembling his own.
The birds are shown marching along the shoreline of what is labeled “Lake America,” carrying rifles as American flags appear in the background. The video ends with the geese raising their weapons into the air while fireworks explode overhead.
Trump reposted the clip with the caption “Lake America – Protected by Donald Ducks.” The 34-second video appears to have originally been created and posted on X before being shared by the president.
The video is the latest development in the growing controversy surrounding Trump’s decision to rename Lake Ontario as “Lake America” for U.S. federal purposes.
Trump signed the executive order on August 27 amid escalating trade tensions between the United States and Canada. The new name applies to U.S. federal usage, while Canada continues to recognize the historic name Lake Ontario.
The move has already generated widespread criticism, jokes and memes on both sides of the border. Canadian officials, Indigenous leaders and several U.S. political figures have rejected the change, while social media users quickly began joking that Canadian geese could now be called “Donald Ducks.”
Trump’s latest video appears to embrace that joke directly, turning the political dispute into an exaggerated AI-generated scene of armed birds guarding the newly renamed lake.
The unusual post adds another chapter to a dispute that began as a geographic name change but has quickly become part of the broader political and trade confrontation between Washington and Ottawa.
