In the aftermath of his widely-panned Board of Peace signing ceremony at the World Economic Forum (WEC) on Thursday, U.S. President Donald Trump went on a social media blitz, firing out dozens of posts in a little over two hours that bounced from Davos messaging to immigration enforcement, domestic voter-fraud claims, and legal threats.
- After a criticized signing ceremony at Davos, Trump posted dozens of rapid-fire messages covering immigration, voter fraud, and legal threats.
- Trump’s 'Board of Peace' initiative quickly became meme fodder, with jokes comparing it to a supervillain summit.
- At Davos, Trump confused Greenland with Iceland while pushing U.S. control over Greenland, drawing criticism.
- Trump amplified allies’ messages attacking 'wokeism,' globalization, and praising his influence on defense spending.
The volley ended with a self-congratulatory sign-off about his trip. “Heading back to D.C. It was an incredible time in Davos,” Trump wrote, adding, “The Greenland structure is being worked on” and calling his “Board of Peace” initiative “something that the World has never seen before — Very special.“

Online, the Board of Peace rollout also immediately became meme fodder. Commenters zeroed in on the idea of an invite-only club for global “stability” that, depending on the day’s headline, seemed to welcome controversial strongmen—and the jokes leaned hard into fiction.
One widely shared gag suggested that if Vladimir Putin had been invited, then villains like Lord Voldemort, Smaug, and even Pestilence should be “expecting their invites any day now.”
Other memes went further, photoshopping the Davos-signing visuals into pop-culture mashups—the joke being that Trump’s new peace body looked less like a diplomatic breakthrough than a supervillain summit.

The Board of Peace ceremony came a day after Trump madea cringeworthy speech at the WEC, repeatedly confusing Greenland with Iceland, as he sought to justify his insistence on the United States taking control of the territory.
Meanwhile, in the wake of being shunned by major allies during the signing—despite his own attempts to push them to be supportive—Trump’s fevered flood of his own ‘truths’ included reposts of allied politicians, conservative commentators, and pro-Trump accounts.

One item amplified Argentine President Javier Milei attacking Europe for embracing “wokeism,” which he described as “socialism in its most hypocritical form.”
Another shared a pro-Trump account’s clip of Howard Lutnick delivering an anti-globalization message at Davos.
Trump also boosted a video from DW News featuring NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte saying Europe would not have increased defense spending without him.
Another repost focused on CNN dubbing Trump “the most influential president of this century.”

The spree also included a repost of a MAGA hat-wearing content creator discussing a former mafia boss accusing Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Representative Ilhan Omar of complicity in a massive fraud scandal engulfing the state, without providing any evidence against the two high-profile Trump critics.
Trump also circulated a video showing a tense standoff between protesters and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers, as well as boosting a post attacking what allies called attempts by “a liberal judge” in Minnesota to “handcuff ICE agents.”
A large chunk of the blitz was devoted to election-fraud and voter-fraud claims, ricocheting from state to state in quick succession. Posts highlighted allegations in Georgia and Nevada, and claims about dead people voting in Michigan.
The thread included Trump’s grievances related to “fake polls”—both in reference to his unfavorable approval rating and to opinion polls published in the run-up to the 2024 presidential election.
On that, Trump specifically accused The New York Times of favoring the Democrats in polls published before the election and threatened legal action.

Taken together, the spree read like a snapshot of Trump’s preferred media ecosystem: a mix of Davos optics, immigration hardline messaging, recurring fraud narratives, and constant litigation talk, all pumped out at speed—before the president hit send on a final message insisting that everything, from Greenland to his new peace initiative, was “amazing for the U.S.A.”
