Trump wants to relabel New Mexico as New America days after changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake Ameria

Donald Trump has already changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario, and now he’s targeting a US state for a rebrand.

Trump is spending the holiday weekend dreaming up his next demand to relabel America’s geography. He posted a map on Truth Social Sunday afternoon of New Mexico, but the word Mexico was crossed out and replaced with America.

Relabeling the southwestern state on the U.S.-Mexico border as New America is reminiscent of an executive order he signed early in his second term, in which he changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

    Just want to remind everyone that everything the US ever had is stolen, including the term “America”. The whole fucking continent is named America you stupid fuck, who said you can use it for your country? Everyone in North, South and Central America is American.

      I will defend the naming of United States of America simply because it was the first country to break away from the European powers, the abbreviation of America was simply inevitable given how it took another generation for the Haitians and Mexicans to break free. Also there was a lot of early ambitions that the US would’ve been closer to the modern EU and would’ve expanded far further across the continent. Obviously that didn’t and won’t happen but yeah.

    I am surprised he haven’t renamed Periodic Table to American Table, Silicon Valley to American Valley and Silicon to America.

      Any day now he’s going to claim credit for naming an element after America even though one already exists (Americium, atomic number 95).

    I think his obsession with renaming things is so he can have his “legacy” where people a hundred years from now will read in school how the gulf of america used to be called gulf of Mexico until Donald J Trump renamed it.

    This way he can do it immediately and without any approvals or permissions from anyone else and it doesn’t cost a dime (upfront that he needs permission for, it still costs millions to remake maps and public education posters/billboards and school textbooks and government websites, etc.)

    He just doesn’t have the foresight to recognize that whatever president comes next will just revert all changes.

      He doesn’t care. He’s trying to tank the US in every way possible so that he and his billionaire friends can buy it up in a fire sale, and create 13-15 tech dominated duchies/kingdoms that own all the people in their borders. That’s why they only want a total of 150,000,000 people alive by the end of 2028. They think their robots will be able to control us, not realizing that they don’t work, won’t work, and we can create portable EMP devices.

        Also I severely doubt they would be able to maintain jack for shit, id probably give it a five year average before they would lose control for one reason or another not accounting for failed infrastructure and natural disaster. Those that could survive would probably start having issues with viking/ horseman raids along the borders of their territory, think the more raid happy Nomad clans from Cyberpunk. Frankly as a descendent of bandits I’m kinda surprised we haven’t seen a proper resurgence yet in places like Idaho and New Mexico.

    I’m writing this from the future, October 2028, from my desk on America St., America, in America County, capital of the state America, in the America-West region of America, to issue a warning…

    Holy Shit! I have been saying he was going to rename New Mexico as New America as a joke! I can’t believe he actually IS that insane.

    He should change the name of the “United States of America” to the “American Americas of America”
