Trump Shares Expansionist US Map and Declares Himself 'Greatest' President Amid CriticismPreviousNext

US President Donald Trump sparked controversy by posting a map on Truth Social depicting the United States extending across North America and Greenland, drawing criticism amid ongoing trade tensions with Canada. Critics, including Republicans Against Trump and foreign policy experts, condemned the image as provocative and distracting, while supporters praised it as a bold statement. Over Labor Day weekend, Trump also declared himself the "greatest" US president in posts ranking former presidents, coinciding with low approval ratings and economic concerns ahead of midterm elections.
