Trump Suggests Renaming New Mexico

President Donald Trump used Truth Social on Sunday to suggest renaming New Mexico “New America,” posting a map of the state with “Mexico” crossed out in red and “America” written in its place. The White House amplified the proposal by reposting the image, while New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham and other Democratic lawmakers said the state’s name was not up for debate. The post followed Trump’s August 27 executive order renaming Lake Ontario “Lake America” and earlier federal moves to use “Gulf of America” for the Gulf of Mexico.
