Trump posts altered US map including Canada, Greenland and Mexico

Donald Trump has posted a map that redraws the United States across virtually all of North America and the surrounding islands, including Canada, Mexico, Greenland, Iceland and the Caribbean.

The US president shared the altered map on Truth Social. It came after months of suggestions that he wants to take over Canada and Greenland, but Mexico had not previously featured in his remarks in the same way.

regain some of its reputation

Trump has also pursued a series of proposed name changes. Last week, he ordered Lake Ontario, which sits along the US-Canada border, to be called the American Lake. He had already proposed renaming the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America, and on Sunday said New Mexico should become “New America”.

great

Trump said the New Mexico change might help the state “regain some of its reputation” after Democrats had repeatedly won elections there. In the same series of Truth Social posts, he reposted maps showing New Mexico under the new name, directed insults at Democrats and ranked every US president as “great”, “almost great”, “average”, “below average” or a “failure”.

He placed Joe Biden, Barack Obama and George W. Bush in the failure category, while ranking himself above every other president and calling himself the best president of all time.
