US politics

Just when you thought US politics couldn't get any more silly, Representative Earl “Buddy” Carter is trying to rename Greenland to “Red, White and Blueland.” Check the date — it's not actually April 1. It's also odd given that President Trump reduced genders to male or female officially despite reality, so the rainbow of colours can be thrown away.

With the colours red, white, blue, and green already used there is only orange, but that's taken by the President, and yellow but that's taken by a number of politicians leaving only indigo and violet which are almost the same anyway so the secret task is to find a way to use purple everywhere. Get going!
