Cryptic message spotted in Trump Presidential Library video that could hint at plans to invade other countries
People have noticed a potentially cryptic sign of Donald Trump’s intent in a video he shared showing off designs for his new library.
It could mean that he’s planning to invade other countries or make the US even larger than it is now.
Donald Trump is currently on a legacy-building mission
It seems as if Donald Trump wants to add a number of extra states to the USA at the moment, from Venezuela and Cuba to Greenland and beyond, he’s definitely spoken out about his desire to increase the number of states from 50.
To be fair, it has been a while since Hawaii joined the union in 1959 - but that won’t make any of the countries mentioned above want to join.
Trump has even mentioned Canada as a potential new US state, although they have hit back in the most uncertain terms about the likelihood of that happening.
So, when people noticed that there were 56 stars instead of 50 on an American flag during a video showing off Donald Trump’s new Presidential Library, they couldn’t help but feel like it was a cryptic message of intent from Trump and his team.
The White House spokesperson responded to the allegation
When asked by Newsweek about the meaning of the extra stars, the White House spokesperson Davis Ingle was tight-lipped.
He said: “President Trump is one of the most consequential and successful presidents in American history—a leader who has fought tirelessly to deliver for the forgotten men and women of this country and Make America Great Again,
"The Trump Presidential Library will be one of the most magnificent buildings in the world and a living testament to the indelible impact President Trump has made on America and its people.”
So, does this mean that there are plans to take over other states, or was it just a mistake?
It could be AI - the Trump government has previous for that - so we will have to wait and see if anything comes of it.
This government also has a knack of trying to make coded or veiled messages, too.
What is the Trump Presidential Library?
Well, at first glance it looks like a big skyscraper, with some museum-like elements.
There’s set to be a replica of the Oval Office and Trump’s new ballroom concept, as well as a scale Air Force One and a golden escalator because… well, of course there will be.
The library will be built in downtown Miami, and looks set to cost around $66 million.
Whether the new states are added by the time it gets built, only time will tell.
