President Donald Trump went on another posting spree of strange seemingly-AI generated images again on Friday and Saturday morning\u2014this time posting a crude caricature of Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., a map of the Middle East showing Iran covered by an American flag, and an ominous image of the president peeking out above an apparent landscape of Greenland.<\/p>\n

Trump began by posting an AI-generated graphic<\/a> of his proposed \u201cGolden Dome\u201d<\/a> missile defense system, but this time only covering the grounds of the White House instead of the entire country.<\/p>\n He followed that up with the strange image<\/a> of Greenland, which he posted again on Saturday morning\u2014reigniting the tensions with the autonomous Danish territory the president has previously said the U.S. needs for national security<\/a>, including the Golden Dome.<\/p>\n In another strange post on Saturday morning, the president posted a map<\/a> of the Middle East with Iran covered in an American flag, combined with the caption: \u201cThe United States of the Middle East?\u201d\u2014coming just after Iranian negotiators said they would refuse a compromise<\/a> with the U.S. in the ongoing peace negotiations.<\/p>\n In an AI generated video<\/a>, Trump then appears to throw outgoing \u201cLate Show\u201d host Stephen Colbert into a dumpster before dancing to \u201cYMCA,\u201d posted hours after Colbert\u2019s final broadcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n On Saturday morning, Trump again posted the \u201cHello, Greenland\u201d image alongside the caricature of Khanna<\/a>, the congressman who introduced the Epstein Files Transparency Act, calling the California Democrat a \u201cdumocrat\u201d and and \u201csleazebag.\u201d<\/p>\n Key Background<\/p>\n Trump’s fixation on Greenland, an autonomous territory controlled by Denmark but governed by its own parliament, began during his first term but ramped up considerably during his first year back in office in 2025. Greenland and Denmark have consistently refused the Trump administration\u2019s demands to hand over the territory. Denmark is a member of NATO, and the U.S. has maintained a military presence<\/a> on the island since the Cold War. The three sides have been involved in closed-door negotiations since January over the island\u2019s future, the New York Times<\/a> reported, although it remains to be seen if the talks will produce a deal the president will approve of.<\/p>\n Tangent<\/p>\n Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry, Trump\u2019s special envoy to Greenland, took his first trip to the Arctic territory last week, where he reportedly received a cold reception<\/a> from locals. After landing, Landry told reporters Trump told him to \u201cgo over there and make as many friends as we can get.\u201d In a bizarre video circulating after his trip, Landry walked the streets of Greenland\u2019s capital Nuuk and handed out chocolate chip cookies to baffled Greenlandic children<\/a>. \u201cIf you come to the Governor\u2019s Mansion in Louisiana, you can have all the chocolate chip cookies you can eat,\u201d he told a group of children in a video circulating on social media<\/a>.<\/p>\n Crucial Quote<\/p>\n Speaking to Fox News<\/a> on Friday, Landry reframed the U.S.\u2019s interest in Greenland as important, due to the island\u2019s energy resources. The Louisiana governor said Greenland\u2019s resources would \u201cbring wealth to them [Greenlanders], just like oil and gas brought wealth to Louisiana and to the nation.\u201d He said Trump \u201cwants a deal. Greenland needs a deal\u2026 Greenland could be exporting 2 million barrels of oil a day right now. Think about what that would mean. Think about what kind of pressure that would relieve in the Strait of Hormuz, what kind of leverage that would give the Western Hemisphere and America, think about the help that would give to Europe right now.\u201d Landry claimed the U.S. could begin producing barrels of oil in Greenland \u201cwithin 10 months or so.\u201d Greenland previously suspended oil exploration after 50 years in 2021 over both environmental concerns and analysis that extraction would lead to low profits or a loss, Reuters<\/a> reported at the time. <\/p>\n Further ReadingForbesTrump Attacks Obama, Newsom And Other Democrats In Another Weekend AI Posting SpreeBy Siladitya Ray<\/a>ForbesTrump Attacks Biden With AI-Generated Post And Pushes \u2018Autopen\u2019 Claims AgainBy Siladitya Ray<\/a>ForbesBizarre String Of Trump Posts Includes Photo Swimming Shirtless In D.C.
