Don’t fall for Trump’s distractions. The Trump presidency is the most corrupt administration in American history.
This weekend, President Trump shared a video showing Donald Ducks, a group of gun-toting ducks with Trumpy yellow hair guarding the shores of “Lake America.” The AI video highlights Trump’s deranged executive order renaming Lake Ontario to “Lake America.”
Trump’s Donald Ducks video is another misdirection to make Americans look away from the Epstein files, the Iran war, high prices, and a hundred other failures of the Trump White House.
Trump is Master of Misdirection
Authoritarian expert Sarah Kendzior tried to warn Americans about Trump and crew for years.
Kendzior’s book “Hiding in Plain Sight” has an epic quote about Trump:
"Trump covers up crime with scandal. That is his main propaganda tactic, the one few seem to be able to discern. The crimes are much worse than the scandals, but the media will always take the scandal bait."
On the latest episode of Fast Politics w/ Molly Jong-Fast, pod guest Rick Wilson argues:
“Donald Trump’s political tricks are no longer working because his approval ratings and economic credibility have collapsed, so stunts like renaming Lake Ontario ‘Lake America’ now draw ridicule instead of fear.”
Reaction to Donald Ducks and Lake America
Social media reaction to Trump’s misdirection supports Wilson’s opinion that Americans ain’t buying Trump’s old tricks.
Example One - Increased Prices
If Americans are angry about the stupid Donald Ducks video and Lake America, they aren’t talking about severe price increases. Dig, if you will, just a few examples of the nutty price increases in the last year.
Price Increases, July 2025 to July 2026 from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
1. Fuel oil — +39.1%
2. Other motor fuels — +30.7%
3. Airline fares — +25.5%
4. Regular gasoline — +25.3%
5. Midgrade gasoline — +23.0%
6. Premium gasoline — +21.5%
7. Computer software and accessories — +21.2%
8. Instant coffee — +15.8%
Trump Child Rape Case
Instead of getting upset about Trumpy ducks, focus on the child rape case filed by "Katie Johnson," the woman who claimed Trump raped her when she was 13. The woman dropped the case because of death threats.
