This is the best summary I could come up with:

Former President Donald Trump bizarrely claimed that if he loses Pennsylvania, “they” will change the state's name.

Trump made the claim in a speech to thousands of members of the National Rifle Association (NRA) in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania on Friday night.

In recent years, there have been moves across the United States to address the country’s racist past by renaming places named after controversial historical figures, particularly those with ties to slavery and the Confederacy.

"I promise you this, with me at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, no one will lay a finger on your firearms — just as took place for four years when I was your president," he said.

President Joe Biden was born in Pennsylvania and won the state against Trump in the 2020 election.

Me thinks this man has a few bats in his belfry… a few sandwiches short of a picnic… his elevator doesn’t go to the top … not playing with a full deck

You get the idea.
