A common pattern across Donald Trump‘s second term is him making statements that sound like a joke, right up until they become reality. For example, just recently we saw him teasing the renaming of Lake Ontario to “Lake America”, which appeared to be empty posturing against Canada right up until he signed an executive order making it so.
That came on the heels of Trump renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America”, and just recently teasing plans to rename the state of New Mexico to “New America”. But now, judging by a Truth Social post yesterday, he may be considering going much, much further.
