In a stunning turn of events, former President Donald Trump revealed today that he is spearheading the creation of a new, independent nation built on a massive artificial island off the coast of Florida. Dubbed “Trumplandia,” the project reportedly includes its own currency, military, and legal system — all heavily influenced by Trump’s personal philosophies.
During a press conference held at Mar-a-Lago, Trump declared, “The United States has been very unfair to me, but I will build something better — the greatest nation ever, and everyone will want to come.”
Sources close to Trump claim the island will feature golden skyscrapers, casinos, and a “Freedom Tower” twice the height of the Burj Khalifa. Critics are raising legal and environmental concerns, while supporters are already lining up to apply for “Trumplandian citizenship,” with early donors promised land plots and luxury residences.
The U.S. State Department has yet to comment officially, but insiders report “serious alarm” behind closed doors.
International leaders have expressed disbelief, with French President Emmanuel Macron allegedly overheard saying, “This cannot be real life.”
