Donald Trump has turned his controversial Lake America campaign into an AI-powered goose patrol. The president posted a clip showing Canada geese sporting his famous blond hairstyle, carrying rifles and marching beside Lake Ontario, which Trump has ordered to be renamed as Lake America in the United States.
Donald Trump’s latest AI video shows armed Canada geese with his signature hairstyle patrolling the renamed Lake Ontario
The scene appeared on Truth Social as Trump prepared to leave the White House for his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey. The birds strut along the shoreline while the Hawaii Five-O theme plays.
The camera eventually reveals “Lake America” beneath them before the geese fire their weapons and fireworks explode behind the formation. Trump’s supporters quickly dubbed the birds “Donald Ducks.”
The joke did not land equally well everywhere. Critics on X (formerly Twitter) blasted the video, with one calling it an example of behavior that carries “real consequences” for the country. Another joked, “Armed geese with the hair is peak Trump internet. Nobody else would even think to post that.”
The AI gag also arrives during a real dispute over the lake’s name. Trump signed an executive order directing the Interior Department to use “Lake America” in the U.S., arguing that the enormous body of water remains an important economic resource. Google Maps later adopted the American designation after the U.S. Geographic Names Information System updated its records. Canada continues to use Lake Ontario (via Fox Business).
Lake Ontario carries considerably more history than the internet meme suggests. Tucked between Ontario and New York, it is the smallest of the five Great Lakes by surface area and the one farthest east. Its water arrives from Lake Erie through the Niagara River before making its way to the Atlantic via the St. Lawrence River.
Even the name has deep roots, dating back more than four centuries to the Wendat language. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney pointed to that history on X, noting that “Ontario” was already in use before both Canadian Confederation and the U.S. Declaration of Independence.
