In a striking move, former U.S. President Donald Trump declared the Moon as belonging to the United States, a statement made within a broad series of posts shared on his "Truth Social" platform. These posts featured over 30 images, most
of which were generated by artificial intelligence, reflecting Trump's visions and inclinations. One prominent post displayed an image of the Moon boldly captioned "The Moon is ours," accompanied by the American flag. This declaration comes just days after Trump's visit to
the Space Center in Texas, where he expressed his hope that a lunar landmark would be named after him. During that visit, Trump welcomed astronaut Reid Wiseman, commander of the Artemis II mission, noting that a lunar crater had been
named after his late wife. Trump's posts were not limited to space; they encompassed a diverse range of content, starting with an image of actor Robert De Niro wearing a pro-Trump shirt, a sarcastic nod to their well-known disputes. They also
included historical fantasies, such as the first U.S. President George Washington visiting Trump, and an extensive campaign to rename geographical landmarks to align with his preferences. One image showed him changing the name of Lake Ontario to "Lake America," and
the state of New Mexico to "New America." The posts also featured an AI-generated image of Iran slightly altered to resemble his features, along with pictures of sunken warships, and a television screen showing his successor Joe Biden wearing a
pro-Trump hat. This collection concluded with an image of a burning, sinking passenger ship, labeled "Democratic Party."
