By The Wasted Onion: Donald Trump Signs Executive Order To Rename New Mexico To New America
ALBUQUERQUE, NM—In a move designed to promote what he claimed was “American greatness,” President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday renaming the state of New Mexico to New America. “The beautiful state of New America will finally be great again, folks! Wow,” said Trump to reporters after signing the executive order while on a visit to 308 Negra Arroyo Lane, claiming that former President Joe Biden and Mexican lawmakers were involved in the naming of the state during its founding in 1912. “Biden, he made them name it New Mexico, because the Mexican’s paid him, they did that, but we’re going to honour New America’s true patriots. Every single one. Like Walter White, Jesse Pinkman, all those guys. I know them well, very good people.” Trump went on to add that he intends to make Mexico pay for any costs incurred from the process of renaming the state. At press time, Trump officials drafted plans to rename Washington D.C. to “Washington Deez Nuts” after Elon Musk reportedly suggested the idea.

By The Wasted Onion: Anti-Trump Republicans Want Return To Only Racism
FORT WORTH, TX—Expressing disapproval over President Donald Trump’s return to the White House, a roundtable of anti-Trump Republicans conducted by The Wasted Onion said they want a return only to racism. “I cannot believe what this administration is doing, from gutting the federal workforce to tariff chaos, this isn’t the Republican Party I remember, I remember when they just wanted to oppress the inferior races,” said Jim Earling, a 32-year-old delivery driver. “I’m appalled at what they’re doing to USAID, I think we should be helping people in countries less fortunate than us, except Asian countries, we don’t need any more Coronaviruses,” added Vivien Quinn, a 45-year-old dietician, “we just want to go back to hating minorities for taking our jobs and speaking languages we don’t understand. Why can’t the Republican’s understand that?” When asked about the Republican Party’s attacks on transgender individuals using the bathroom of their choosing, the group disagreed with the party’s stance. “It’s complete nonsense, there are more important issues the party should be focusing on, like black men using the same bathrooms as me,” said Mr. Earling.
