Perhaps in honor of Labor Day, President Donald Trump is not pausing his efforts to rename and "claim" new territory for America. A map he posted on Truth Social proves it. Trouble is, those lands belong to other nations that surely are not handing them over to us. You recall that Trump had his sights set on Greenland not long ago. More recently, he "changed" the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. Trump also floated the notion of calling New Mexico "New America." He apparently rebranded Lake Ontario as Lake America. Now, Trump has released a new map depicting America in greatly enlarged form.

The prez has also been eager to place his own name alongside that of President John F; Kennedy's on Washington's Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Nevertheless, a judge ordered it removed in May.
On top of all that, Trump has designs on the moon. He (playfully?) considers it "ours."
Trump Posted His Redrawn Map on Truth Social
According to Trump, our borders suddenly are swallowing up portions of Canada, Mexico, and other countries. The president's spate of geographical grandeur evidently continues. Therefore, the GOP slogan he coined, "Make America Great Again," may need to be retooled as "Make America Bigger Again."
The map he offered depicts the red, white, and blue stars and stripes covering an expanded amount of territory. However, it's not actually ours. In fact, as People points out, Trump's imagined reformulation of our shores includes "Canada, Mexico, Greenland, Cuba, Guatemala and several other countries...." This must have come as a big shock to the heads of those nations.
He Has Also Been Eyeing New Construction
Trump, formerly a New York real estate mogul, has also been building and planning to build. His new, multi-million-dollar ballroom, a much-touted project on White House grounds, is well underway. Furthermore, he envisions a massive triumphal arch marking the nation's 250th anniversary. It is similar to the iconic Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France.
Those grandiose architectural endeavors Trump championed have drawn fire from critics. Still, they have been moving forward anyway. What is pretty clear is that the Washington that Donald Trump arrived in as president will likely look different when his term ends in 2028. By then, the city will apparently bear his unmistakable imprint.
