Every red-blooded American patriot in Maine should want to support President Donald Trump’s name changes like New America for New Mexico and Lake America for Lake Ontario.

There’s lots of foreign names we can change in Maine: Norway, Paris, Belfast and many others. It would be tricky to have all these places named America, but the geniuses who brought us war in Iran, painfully higher gas and grocery prices, and a trade war with our friends in Canada should be able to figure that out.
