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.

    Oh and how about the gas prices soaring due to shortages, because he fucked up in Iran when thinking that would be another distraction?

        Nobody respects that little turd, especially MAGA. They won’t do Jack shit for anyone that he’s not ordered to by the GOP.

          No one respects that turd, yet he’s currently vice president. The way it is currently going it doesn’t look like there is much democracy left so if he wants to take power and hold on to it, he probably can. As long as he keeps the oligarchs happy. And he was put there by one of the most influential one, so even if some are not happy with JD Turd, Thiel will make sure they will step in line. This is how a dictatorial regime works. It is how Russia, North Korea and Turkmenistan are being run, among other dictatorships.

        How long did the nazi party in germany last after hitler alt-F4’ed himself?

        How about Marshall Applewhite, is his cult still going strong?

    He is the dog that finally caught the car. He never knew why he chased it, just that there was a need within him to chase it. And because he expended so much effort into chasing the car he now needs to demonstrate to all the other dogs that he totally knew what he was doing the whole time and even more totally knows what a car is and what to do with it.

    This is why he doesn’t actually do anything truly “presidential.” His idea of being president is the same as when my kid was 8 and said “if I’m ever president, I’m gonna…” and then some cute but completely totalitarian nonsense comes out their mouth. Just as he’s the poor man’s idea of a rich man, he’s a child’s idea of the president.

    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.

        They also tend to fall over on their own so I can’t imagine they’ll be particularly good combat units.

          Maybe they are counting on enough low paid workers to survive in SEA so that their “robots” can be effectively long distance battle mechs.

            I suppose if we have to have disutopian fascist dictators we must at least be thankful that they are very stupid. They seem to be planning for the end goal without any real idea of how they’re going to get there.

            They also seem to have forgotten that the rest of the planet exists, and might take a dim view of mass genocide elste the idea spreads.

            I’m not dismissing the idea that, at some point, in the future, they might have military combat robots, but in the immediate term the threat from AI will come from economic damage not from terminators.

        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.

        And when he dies, they’ll use AI to instill him as king forever. “We put his consciousness in a box” they’ll say. All the while, his handler’s and their family secure control indefinitely.

    Just to be clear, he hasn’t renamed shit. No one is actually gonna follow these bullshit renames after he’s dead or out of office. People in every other country and half of your own won’t and anyone who does is gonna be a laughing stock. Fucking moronic shit the media spends time legitimizing.

    We have reached the point where I genuinely cannot tell reality from satire.
    “Is this real? Am I eating the onion?”
    I don’t even know anymore.

      Yes it is real. All of the tech bros follow Curtis Yarvin’s philosophy. He is another lord of the rings tech bro that calls himself a “high elf” and all of us hobbits.

      Peter thiel and company are all in a group you can lookup with more info called the “nerd reich”. Peter Thiel is also in the Epstein files stating that “buying things at 1% interest is too much”

      Independent journalists and major news organizations have all reported on this. Search the names and nerd reich and you will see.

      They all need to go, NOW

        I’m halfway through The Nerd Reich and I already knew a lot of these characters and what they were up to, and even I am finding it sickening.

        Curtis Yarvin is such a little weirdo. The Democrats need to get back to calling all of the right wing weird. Because they fucking are.

        You have the pedo-in-chief being defended over his role in the Epstein Files. You have Thiel behind the throne on “JD” “Vance”. You have Yarvin whispering to people like Thiel and Thiel stroking off to a shitty knock-off of an already terrible book - The Sovereign Individual.

        You have Elon being given “DOGE” so they could destroy America and save us…nothing - while killing probably millions of children by cutting US AID. You have a day drinker known for being on Faux News now running a war on Iran that we didn’t need and no one asked for.

        You have a little shitstain like Stephen Miller - angry at brown people since his teens - running immigration policy.

      Ai was invented 20 years ago. Theyve been running simulations for years to craft the trump presidency and collapse the United States. Hes just the ends to someone else’s means.

      At least thats what I postulate.

      Maybe he thought the new map would by default invalidate anything he’s renamed so far (even though his name changes have only taken hold inside the US itself anyway)
