Trump floods Truth Social with 60+ posts over Labor Day weekend — AI memes, renamed maps and Nazi uniform controversy

President Donald Trump kept up a relentless posting pace on his Truth Social platform throughout the Labor Day holiday weekend (Sept. 5–7), flooding the platform with content even as the country took a break. On Sunday (local time), the second day of the long weekend, he put up more than 60 posts — a large share of them appearing to be AI-generated memes.

The most eye-catching post was a map image renaming the state of New Mexico "New America." The word "Mexico" was crossed out in red, with "America" written beneath it.

Trump has shown a persistent fixation with renaming existing places after himself or attaching "America" to them — a habit that has drawn pushback from the opposition Democratic Party and sparked ongoing controversy.

On Monday, Trump posted several more images of the New Mexico-to-"New America" map, along with another showing Canada and Greenland incorporated into US territory.

Among the posts from the two-day stretch was an image renaming Lake Ontario — which borders the United States and Canada — "Lake America," amid the ongoing trade war with Canada. A cartoon image also appeared showing Trump playing ice hockey against Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, with Trump standing over a fallen Carney and saying, "Get up, Governor."

Other posts included one claiming the Strait of Hormuz as US territory, an image reshaping Iran's outline on a Middle East map into a profile of Trump's face, and another showing Trump striking Iran with a hammer bearing the American flag.

Several surreal images also appeared depicting Trump surrounded by combat robots, with the caption: "Give them nightmares."

One post featured what appeared to be an AI-generated image of a figure wearing a red "MAGA" — short for "Make America Great Again" — headband and draping an American flag over his shoulders in the style of Hulk Hogan, but with Trump's face swapped in on closer inspection. Another AI composite showed Trump arm-wrestling Hogan, with Trump grinning casually while Hogan grimaced in apparent strain.

Trump also reposted an image billing himself as the "Greatest" president in American history, and shared pictures showing him riding on horseback alongside the nation's first president, George Washington, as well as an image of Washington visiting Trump in the Oval Office for a conversation.

An image Trump posted that appeared to show a proposed Space Force uniform design drew criticism for evoking Nazi Germany. The film Trump cited as his design inspiration — "Starship Troopers," a 1997 satire of fascism — prompted mockery that the uniform looked less like a space military and more like "space Nazis."

He also posted a photo of the moon bearing the American flag with the caption "The moon is ours" — a unilateral claim of US ownership as Washington and Beijing compete in the race for lunar exploration.

Trump also posted what appeared to be a photo of actor Robert De Niro holding a red T-shirt reading "Trump is my president," writing alongside it: "Even this moron is starting to get it." Given that De Niro is one of Hollywood's most outspoken Trump critics, the image is likely a fabrication.

Meanwhile, Trump spent the holiday weekend at his golf club in New Jersey, arriving there Friday. When he stepped off Air Force One, observers noticed his hair had changed from its signature blonde to a noticeably darker brown.

Conservative outlet Fox News noted that "social media erupted in response," highlighting reactions such as "Trump going brunette was absolutely not on my 2026 bingo card" and "Brown is apparently the new blonde."
