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.

    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.
