Trump posts AI video of ‘Lake America’ being protected by an army of bequiffed ‘Donald Ducks’
Trump’s post followed an executive order renaming Lake Ontario, while critics in the U.S. and Canada mocked the AI video as weekend political theater.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump signed Executive Order 14420 directing federal agencies to refer to Lake Ontario as "Lake America" in all official documents, marking his third geographic renaming since 2025.
- Escalating trade tensions between Ottawa and Washington preceded the order, following the breakdown of negotiations on August 22, when the U.S. imposed 50 percent tariffs on about $20 billion worth of Canadian exports.
- President Trump posted an AI-generated video yesterday depicting armed "Donald Ducks" patrolling the shores of "Lake America," set to the Hawaii Five-O theme song, showing geese with his signature blond hair firing weapons.
- Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney noted Lake Ontario derives from the Wendat word meaning "the lake is beautiful, the lake is big," while Ontario Premier Doug Ford called Trump a "dictator," "bully," and "king of bankruptcies."
- Federal executive orders cannot compel foreign nations, private entities, or U.S. states to adopt the new name, so Lake Ontario remains the internationally recognized designation despite the Trump administration's directive.
