Trump posts map renaming New Mexico to 'New America'

President Donald Trump — whose approval ratings continue lagging — posted a social media image suggesting renaming the state of New Mexico as "New America."

U.S. Rep. Gabe Vasquez, of Las Cruces, in a response to Trump on X stated, "You don’t get to erase New Mexico. Not our name. Not our history. Not our culture.
The President may want to call us 'New America,' but we know who we are."

Buried at the bottom is the truth that this is satire being reported as fact by the El Paso times. It does not appear to be true.

The fact that we can be so easily victimized by Poe's Law is telling:

"'New America' map emerged as parody

The "New America" map was previously posted on Sept. 1 on the parody account Daily Noud, which posted a fake image falsely claiming Trump had signed an executive order renaming New Mexico. Daily Noud account on X states, "These are fake stories."

Hey moron, FUCKING MORON, you're not supposed to name a part of America "New America", you name a place outside America settled by Americans, "New America". That's how that naming convention works. Nova Scotia means New Scotland. Notice it's not in Scotland, it's outside Scotland. New Mexico is outside Mexico. New York isn't part of York.

I believe the original term for a land settled by those of American descent is known as "Liberia".

New York isn’t part of York.

New York is a small village in Lincolnshire in England that was founded in 1664, long before New York in the USA was founded...

Damn, that’s crazy!

What’s going on with the Epstein files? Can we investigate, charge, and convict some of the pedophiles?

Amendment depends on the president's cabinet, which is never going to happen when he's stocked it with hand-picked loyalists.

Only (legal) way to get rid of him is impeachment.

It's the same as him running a 3rd term. Whatever takes the energy out of the oppositions base they will throw it their way.

The fact that people feed into it, eat it and keep covering it means he can distract even more from the real shit that people should care and act about.

Well it’s hard when Apple and Google keep bending their knee to suck off Trump with every one of his whims.

Nothing says oppression more than shouting freedom for fear of being seen not to.

Nothing smacks of facism more than dogmatically slapping the same name on everything to constantly remind the public you live under authoritarian rule.

What more can be said about this?

The time for complaints and shared lamentations is long past.

The time for action is here. We must impeach this traitorous pedophilic felonious illiterate con man, ground his cronies so they cannot leave the country, and bring every last one of them to court for crimes against humanity and war crimes and just… crimes in general.

I’m afraid I can’t say that in writing on the internet my friend.

Can we please have less shitposts of the fascist in chief? Fucking PLEASE?

I'm tired of seeing his disgusting ugly face looking and mocking me everywhere.

Especially because I know whatever new shit he does, serious or not, it's just going to endear him to his followers for bringing about their promised age of inequality.
