ALBAWABA – U.S. President Donald Trump has taken his growing conflict with Canada to social media, posting a strange AI-generated video depicting an armed ‘army’ of strong Canadian geese patrolling the beaches of Lake Ontario.Trump shared the spoof clip to Truth Social on Saturday as he again backed his push to rename Lake Ontario “Lake America” amid rising trade tensions between Washington and Ottawa.The AI footage displays Canadian geese turned into buff, heavily-muscled individuals, with arms like humans, and automatic weapons marching alongside the lake. The skyline of what appears to be Toronto is in the background.With Donald’s Ducks is safeMinutes after uploading the video, Trump reposted it with the original creator’s caption, “Lake America – protected by Donald’s ducks,” and a U.S. flag.The odd post seemed to be another shot at Canada as the two neighboring nations' relationship comes under fresh pressure.The video was published hours after trade talks between Washington and Ottawa apparently broke down late last week, with the United States pressing ahead with its threat to levy 50% tariffs on Canadian products.BREAKING: Trump just posted an AI slop video of armed ducks marching and firing in unison on “Lake America.”He’s gone completely insane. pic.twitter.com/XTGZQvWEri— Trump Lie Tracker (Commentary Account) (@MAGALieTracker) August 29, 2026 Dispute over 'America's Lake'Lake Ontario is one of the five Great Lakes on the U.S.-Canada border, shared by the U.S. state of New York and the Canadian province of Ontario.Trump's new naming bid is reminiscent of an earlier effort involving the Gulf of Mexico, which his administration called the "Gulf of America" for U.S. federal use.But this time, Trump’s message came with an AI-generated “army,” making the growing political and economic divide with Canada yet another social media provocation.
