The EU should come together and rename USA as "Lalaland". Since that's apparently a thing countries do now?
Every other country should unanimously vote to call the USA something stupid since apparently countries can just rename other countries
Dumbfuckistan, I say this as an American....it's gotten so childish here.
The founding fathers would be disgusted at such an unlettered (read illiterate) individual taking over the country.
Let me know when they make a flag for Dumbfuckistan and I will fly that shit.

This rhetoric is terrifying. Look at that speech. That's getting stoned on your own farts and getting them preemptively fresh speech. That's the sort of way literally only cultists and fascist governments speak. That's a dprk ass comment.
The madness runs deeper than the figurehead.
This has to be ragebait cover for something else, right?
Like even the dimmest, least self aware, MAGA-hat-wearing dumbass would feel embarrassed to say "Red, White, and Blueland" out loud.
Right???
No, they would not.
It's bait for the media (and everyone else) so they have something funny to feed their audience and can pretend it's just silly nonsense while ignoring the part that authorizes the "President" to acquire Greenland.
I want to agree, but these people wore diapers for him. The only further absurdity is the war over it for the minerals and arctic claim under the guise of national security.
It’s rage bait to hide a real enemy to the rest of us.

I fully expected Trump to drag America in a farcical dictatorship if he was reelected.
I just expected it to take longer.

I don't know why they need a bill for this. Apparently the President can just sign an executive order renaming geographical features, and everyone just had to go along with it.
Every American. The rest of us just watch in horror, wondering why the adults in the room don't do something.

It's been less than a month since he's been in office and this is a visual representation on how I feel about the whole thing...
I feel so bad for Americans having to put up with this.

I wonder if the any Russians reading this might wonder if this was how their government sounded when they invaded Ukraine.
This is worse than some parodies
identified the purchase of what is now Greenland as a national security priority
This is no joke and he’s going to start taking land. He’s serious about Canada too.
Fuck everyone in advance who buys the security angle.
Nazi shit shined with a US flag and it’s ok with the USA.
Let’s face it, calling anything “green” is woke.

If all AOC had to do was rebrand it to the Red White and Blue New Deal to get Republicans on board, I'm going to have an aneurysm.
This nonsensical stunt is the political equivalent of jingling keys in front of a baby.
Ok, I don't support these clowns, and I hate that this is the way the public is finding out, but isn't it nice that people are starting to truly see how incapable, incompetent, and corrupt our elected leaders have always been?
Where are these people that are starting to see this? The morons that voted for Trump are ecstatic with these distractions.
There was a discussion recently on reddit and basically almost everyone agreed that the Republicans in their circles don't see anything wrong with what the government is doing, Musk and all.
I would never claim involved conservatives are capable of learning.
Do not underestimate how little the VERY VAST majority of people know about government or politics. I recently explained blue/red, left/right, lib/con, progressive/regressive are all related and blew someone's mind. Then they asked "which ones are the bad ones" and I said "that is subjective and it depends on your views". After very little explanation, they were socially liberal but fairly conservative fiscally (keep in mind, this was a disconnected completely normal person just going from day to day). It is hard to imagine, with the news and all, people not knowing the basics, but that really is the default. They often only know what they have been told growing up and nothing else.
A few years ago I was on a group bike ride (in Maryland), and we saw a car that had a bumper sticker mocking one of the more famous members of Congress. For example, it might have been about Ted Cruz's vacation while Texas was dealing with extreme cold and widespread power outages. Or it might have been about Lindsey Graham blocking the supreme court nomination during the last year of Obama's term, but then doing it during the last year of Trump's term. I don't remember for certain. It was definitely something like that.
I chuckled, and one person riding with us was like, "What's so funny?" I explained who the person was and what they had done to prompt the reaction sticker, and her response was: "How could you possibly know who that person is?"
They don't even know the more famous members of Congress or the stupid acts they are committing. They just do not know. A few days ago, she posted a picture of her and her husband, and the husband was wearing a "Trump victory!" T-shirt. Shocking.

God damn it, this is the prequel to Idiocracy isn't it? Is this just a simulation so an A I. can generate a movie for someone? This is my far the dumbest thing I have ever heard a politician doing as a legit political act. All we're missing is a, 'brought to you by Carl Jr's' attached to the bill.

all i get from this is that Donald Trump is in your discord server and stole your idea

I hate this fucking country and I'm going to either get out or go off-grid as soon as I can muster it financially
Red, White, and Blueland
Does this mean France, and Russia, and every other country with those colors in their flags also have claims to that land?

You know how the germans act when we talk about Hitler?! That will be americans in the future. Like WHAT THE FUCK?
NGL, I am for a future where we survived this and calling someone trump is the modern equal or replacement for Hitler. We already are echoing Rome.

This government is stupider and more childish than any TikTok challenge to date... combined
Cool. Just renamed my apartment "The REAL United States of America". Every room is now a new state. The guest bathroom is obviously "New Ohio". There. See how much that lowered egg prices?

Trump given power
No, he hasn't. Congress hasn't passed it -- it's just been introduced as a bill.
One House Representative introduced it and then released the statement.
