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.

Fuck his theater, force him to release the epstein files and face consequences

Time to post photos of Mar-A-Lago onto Truth social with it rebranded as the Barack Hussein Obama Civil Rights Museum and the ballroom he's building rebranded as the American Memorial to Sexual Abuse survivors featuring the Epstein Victims Plaza and Trump Towers as the New York American Immmigration & Naturalization Center. Add a splash that says "Coming Soon!" to all 3.. and post it mercilessly..

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.

Geography isnt his strong suit. I can agree with changing one name. Washington District of Columbia. Could totally change that name.

[-] Almacca@aussie.zone 5 points 3 weeks ago

He doesn't have a strong suit. He only has weak suits. Even his actual suits are ill-fitting.

[-] ElCrusher@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 weeks ago

That's funny, being as Columbia means the United States. So quite literally Washington District of the United States, changes to what, Washington District of America, if we're following the deranged name changing? I don't know how I feel, is it less American or more?

In a sane world this guy would be in a nursing home somewhere.

[-] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

One good thing will come from this. More Americans will learn that New Mexico is a U.S. state.

[-] eddanja@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

If we follow similar logic, Mar-A-Lago should be renamed too because that is Spanish.

[-] Sharkticon@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 weeks ago

Why doesn't he start renaming his shitty kids America?

[-] Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 weeks ago

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.

What. A. Loser.

[-] BigBenis@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

What about New York, New Jersey and New Hampshire? Four New Americas is going to get confusing. Since stupidity seems to be the primary objective, I would suggest:

New Mexico -> New America

New York -> New New America

New Jersey -> New New New America

New Hampshire -> New New New New America

[-] himmyguap@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Only New Mexico is the problem to him. The other three states don't contain the name of a place where a lot of brown people live.

[-] CanIFishHere@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 weeks ago

If only he put half this energy towards affordability.
