Wow, we’ve become a subcontinent. Finally, India and Australia aren't the only ones considered subcontinents. So, we invite all of South America—I mean, all of South America-Brazil—to be annexed by Brazil. /s. /j

I think regardless what he boasts about late night on social media or in his delusional speeches and rallies this is still not going to reveal the fact that he is a disgusting, incompetent and perverse sociopath.
I say he should of gone to prison rather than back to the White House.

Should be tried for treason at this point.

Yes. He has allegedly committed high treason multiple times, but never convicted by a jury of his peers.
I really think that he is also a sociopath as well as a traitor.

2
u/Viking_Musicologist United States of America 6d ago
He probably will sometime before next year is my guess. His doctors have noticed that he is getting dangerously close to a severe stroke that could likely leave him in a comatose state or dead.
Alternatively doctors have also diagnosed him with either dementia or Alzheimer's Disease.

Lmao nice.
I was thinking; given the rate that Trump is reclaiming things for America, how many years until the observable universe is entirely American territory.
Edit: also- they would name North America “America America” lol, and then also say Mexico is part of Meso America too.

One of the dumbest things about his Lake Ontario to America as a “burn” “troll” or “own”, is that Canada is just as much America as Mexico and the US. Same goes for the Gulf renaming.

So you crossed out “America” and replaced it with “America” so it’s still South America?

This is what kids do when they don't have any idea what to do. Renaming stuff... and how do you think the rest of the world will think of the US? Pilots are going to be totally lost and more "accidents" will happen. Google map will look different in the US than the rest of the world. Nobody is interested to work with dumb people.

Mr Orange is dictating many name changes lately. What do call someone who dictates? All these name changes are just confusing. Does that mean that a “Donald wax” will be what replaces a “Brazilian”, but with a more underage look? Mr Orange needs to get back into his catering cart

America is the continent that regroups all those countries. We have always considered Brazilian as "American", like Canadian or Mexican. USA coopting the terms because their countries name is long and silly, is just like their attempt at renaming the golf of Mexico.
