The 47th President of the United States has just released a digital manifesto for the end of national sovereignty. In a haunting AI-generated image shared on Truth Social this Monday, Donald Trump presented a vision where the borders of Canada, Greenland, and Venezuela cease to exist, replaced by the crushing weight of the American flag. This is not merely “shitposting” or internet trolling; it is the visual articulation of a predatory foreign policy that views the Western Hemisphere not as a collection of allies, but as a colonial inventory waiting to be claimed.
The image depicts a boardroom scene where European leaders, including Emmanuel Macron and Keir Starmer, stand as submissive observers to Trump’s geographic redesign. It is a grotesque parody of the 1884 Berlin Conference, only this time, the carving of the world is being done via generative algorithms and social media feeds. By including Venezuela, Trump signals a relentless eye on energy resources; by including Canada, he erases the sovereignty of America’s closest neighbor, transforming the “Great White North” into a mere extension of the American industrial machine.
The Death of Diplomacy by Image
The lack of a caption is the ultimate power move. Trump is banking on the fact that an image of the Stars and Stripes draped over Caracas and Ottawa communicates far more than a policy paper ever could. It creates a new reality where the “Manifest Destiny” of the 19th century is resurrected for the TikTok era. For the global community, this is a warning: under this administration, the concept of a “rules-based international order” is dead, replaced by the whim of a leader who treats geopolitical borders like lines on a blueprint for a new golf course.
The Diário Carioca identifies this as a dangerous evolution of digital warfare. When a head of state uses AI to simulate the annexation of sovereign states, the line between fiction and intent blurs. This is a direct assault on the dignity of the Canadian and Venezuelan people, and a slap in the face to European allies who are portrayed as powerless witnesses to American overreach. The map is a declaration that in the MAGA era, no border is sacred, and no ally is safe from the red, white, and blue steamroller.
