His effectiveness as a leader has been very Aladeen.
He deserves to be Aladeen.
What about New York, New Jersey and New Hampshire? Four New Americas is going to get confusing. Since stupidity seems to be the primary objective, I would suggest:
New Mexico -> New America
New York -> New New America
New Jersey -> New New New America
New Hampshire -> New New New New America
Only New Mexico is the problem to him. The other three states don't contain the name of a place where a lot of brown people live.
Oh and how about the gas prices soaring due to shortages, because he fucked up in Iran when thinking that would be another distraction?
New York is going to be New Trumptown soon...
This MF is such an embarrassment . Just boundless stupidity every fucking day . Give us one day man damn .
In a sane world this guy would be in a nursing home somewhere.
I have never seen such creativity before /s
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.
Im going to continute to deadname the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario, all my trans homies are doing it.
They're not deadnames. Its called ignoring malicious labels.
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.
we are so cooked as a people when a competent president comes in, it'll be Obama all over again but worse, maybe 10 years before we get a snowden situation revealing all the secrets
And the sad part is that there are still people who worships him and in their eyes can do no wrong.
Like Megamind if he never had the hero arc
So, if the USA is so great, then why did they make USB?
Goddammit, you beautiful genius!
Just want to remind everyone that everything the US ever had is stolen, including the term "America". The whole fucking continent is named America you stupid fuck, who said you can use it for your country? Everyone in North, South and Central America is American.
I will defend the naming of United States of America simply because it was the first country to break away from the European powers, the abbreviation of America was simply inevitable given how it took another generation for the Haitians and Mexicans to break free. Also there was a lot of early ambitions that the US would've been closer to the modern EU and would've expanded far further across the continent. Obviously that didn't and won't happen but yeah.
Haitian where literal slaves who broke free, while the US didn't abolish slavery until 1860s (on paper). Not much lessons of freedom to give here.
And how do you call people who lives on the continent if the US citizens are the real Americans? Nobodys? USA's bitches? Should the Germans be entitled to called themselves European because they did whatever first? Do the Chinese have the rights on Asia because they are the most populous?
This is just more example of US arrogance.
BTW the name comes from the guy mapped south America. Maybe they should be the only Americans.
Easy. In English, if someone lives in the United States, they're American. If someone lives in North America, they're North American; if they live in South America they're South American. Even better, you could use the demonym for the country they're from, i.e. Argentinian, Guatemala, Canadian, etc.
Edit: I think the confusion comes from different culture's viewpoints on the number of continents. In the Anglophone world, there is no continent called "America," there are two continents called North and South America.
Ouais, ça ne me plaît pas.
Puisque désormais tout le monde peut décider comment on appelle les autres, les personnes vivant sur le continent continueront d'être des Américains, sauf les citoyens américains, qui seront des « pédofascistes ». C'est beaucoup plus logique et c'est beaucoup plus simple pour tout le monde. Nous allons également faire de nouvelles cartes avec Pedoland plutôt que USA.
Bravo pour avoir ignoré mon commentaire et persisté dans la stupidité.
Later, loser. Thanks for making me type in the Fr*nch "language."
Ça a dû faire vraiment mal a ton ego de colonialiste de devoir utiliser une autre "langue". Dis bonjour au citoyens de pedoland pour moi.
Oh yeah, US midterms are coming. Finally realised what's driving this guys maniac episode.
If we follow similar logic, Mar-A-Lago should be renamed too because that is Spanish.
Those who accuse someone of having Trump derangement syndrome should be called pedophile defenders.
Trump derangement syndrome
Remember, there were conservatives that claim to actually be adults, in office, that advocated for making that a real mental illness, Soviet style.
Meanwhile, I don't think I've ever seen any example of someone with any of this "derangement". It's just people that point out tiny-d donnie's terrible qualities.
You know another name for a Pedophile Defender?
Pedophile.
If there is a Nazi sitting at a dinner table and the other 9 people aren't actively beating the absolute shit of them then there are 10 Nazis having dinner together
jesus fucking christ i cannot wait until he finally fucking dies.
Along with all his shit for brains supporters.

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.
