Trump’s Mental Health In Question After Bizarre Sunday Posting Spree

This is becoming genuinely strange

On Sunday, Trump took another shot at redrawing the map, reaching all the way to the moon. It was part of a particularly strange Truth Social spree, with Trump publishing somewhere between 30 and 40 posts over roughly two hours. He jumped from territorial claims to AI-generated images involving outer space, a Great Lake, and an entire U.S. state.

The moon announcement came with a photo of the lunar surface carrying the words “The Moon is Ours,” alongside an American flag.

Minutes earlier, Trump had shared concept art for new Space Force uniforms, describing the colors as “space gray, midnight black, silver grey, and satin black,” complete with shoulder patches, sleeve insignias, and a belt.

One image appeared to show Trump piloting a spacecraft while explosions lit up the Earth below.

There is, however, one small problem with claiming the moon: the Outer Space Treaty of 1967, signed by the United States and more than a hundred other nations, prohibits countries from claiming sovereignty over celestial bodies through occupation, use, or by planting a flag in the dirt.

Online, that detail only made the whole thing more entertaining.

And while Trump was busy with the moon, space was far from the only territory getting a makeover.

Another post showed a map of New Mexico with “Mexico” crossed out in red and replaced with “America.” There was no explanation for how that might work, or whether anyone had actually asked New Mexico for its opinion.

Trump’s interest in renaming things has not stopped at Lake Ontario. He recently floated calling the Strait of Hormuz “Trump Strait” before walking the idea back and admitting he was not entirely serious about it.

Lake Ontario was a little different.

Just days earlier, Trump had signed paperwork attempting to rename it “Lake America” amid rising trade tensions with Canada, a move that did not go over well across the border.

Grand Chief Pierre Picard of the Huron-Wendat First Nation responded with a sharp statement: “Outraged, appalled, shocked: there are no other words to describe how I feel.”

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney also pushed back, noting on X that the lake’s name comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which he translated as “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big.”
