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.

    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.

    He’s got to know all of these will be changed back when he fucking finally dies, right? Right?

    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”

    Someone made a joke about this when the Lake Ontario shit was happening. Now their joke is becoming reality.

      He can sign whatever he wants. It doesn’t do anything unless you’re the small few stuck inside US borders. In the real world, the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario obviously haven’t had their names changed. Executive orders from some random country mean fuck all.

    Do it. The more he does the more idiocy he shows.

    Next up will be the Spanish names. Los Angeles will be America Angels. Las Vegas will be America Vegas (because Vegas). San Francisco will be America Francis.

    People keep giving him the attention and outrage he’s after. And he loves scribbling his name of shit.

    Of course he’s going to keep doing it

      Yes, one thousand times this! I obviously don’t condone what he’s doing, but at the same time we should not give it any brain space. Release the Epstein files.
