Don Tzu

Don Tzu—also called Donny Tzu or Donald Trump Sun Tzu Quotes—is an exploitable image macro parodying Sun Tzu's The Art of War by pairing a Chinese-stylized portrait of U.S. President Donald Trump with faux-strategic quotes about his decisions. The grey-on-black template mirrors fake Sun Tzu quote memes and is used both ironically by critics and earnestly by supporters.

The nickname dates to a June 2017 tweet by DiabolicalIdea, but the standardized Trump-as-Tzu image spread from 2023 posts by Godfatherparte2. Early 2026 saw a major uptick: @runews's helmet variant March 10 cleared 677,600 views; @thatdayin1992's version March 16 hit 1.3 million views; @Mollyploofkins's "You can't lose if you don't have a goal" post March 18 reached 744,500 views. Reddit /r/memes and /r/greentext reposts continued through August 18, 2026. Know Your Meme filed a submission August 28, 2026.

donnytzu.com can host a quote-card generator: visitors enter a headline or policy blunder and receive a Don Tzu macro with Art of War-style phrasing, exportable as square images for X and Reddit without re-editing the grey Trump portrait.

trumpsuntzu.com fits an archive of March–August 2026 viral posts—@runews helmet variant, @thatdayin1992 million-view macro, Iran blockade /r/dankmemes examples—with chronological embed credits and outbound links only.

dontzuquotes.com works as a snowclone library separating real Trump quotes from fan-written "Don Tzu" lines, with filters for supporter praise versus critic mockery and fair-use thumbnail crops of the standard template.
