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.

    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.
