For something to be called New America, there has to be an Old America. But there is no such thing.

Fun fact: The entire area that New Mexico currently encompasses is what remains of Nuevo Mexico, or New Mexico in Spanish. The fun part is that Nuevo Mexico was named some decades (80-100 years, IIRC) before Mexico was named Mexico.

So to your point. Apparently not?

Well next he's going to ask Texas to rename itself to "Exxon-Mobile", Tennessee to "I swear we helped build the nuclear bombs" and Florida to "We fucked up and killed all our Oranges". Because names of Native Americans and Hispanics can't sit well with his voters

Hot America

Everyone else is going to have to change their countries names to not America, in order to help him keep track.

The UK will be old America, Australia will be far away America, New Zealand will be far away American 2

Sigh, of fucking course he did. Anyways, the capital of Ohio would love to change its name, but I'm sure if they tried he'd be ranting about keeping historical names for American places.

Edit: there's only one state that's actually worth renaming and that's Washington, solely because sharing a name with the country's capital results in confusion more often than you'd like, and I swear to shit it better not be renamed to America.

My parents are New Mexican. It would be an outrage to see such a renaming happen.

Hey America are we tired yet from all this winning?

He's won the war against Iran at least 40 times by now. He kept that promise.

Proving yet again there is no bottom to his stupidity.

New York goes to... Better York? York Superior?

[–] maxthemummer@lemmus.org 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

"Super York" if there is any consistency at all to his renaming mania.

Petition to have maps change the names of all cities, states, and landmarks to America or some variation of America.

[–] joeschmoe@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Every word.

America America America America, America.

Then obviously Mexico has to change its name to 'America'.
