Donald Trump's Bid to Rebrand New Mexico to 'New America' Swiftly Rejected by Governor — Name 'Isn't Up for Debate'
Trump’s post sparked backlash and memes as critics noted New Mexico’s 400-year-old name predates the United States.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump posted a map on Truth Social renaming New Mexico to 'New America,' labeling the state a 'vote cheating state of all time' without explanation.
- Trump's post continues a pattern of geographic adjustments, including his recent executive order renaming Lake Ontario to 'Lake America' and his earlier proposal to rebrand the Gulf of Mexico as the 'Gulf of America.'
- The state's name, derived from 'Nuevo México,' is a 400-year-old Spanish colonial label predating the United States; despite the proposal, the renaming lacks formal legal standing or official recognition.
- Social media users dismissed the rebranding as a distraction from economic issues, including record-high diesel prices and $5 gas, arguing Trump uses such posts to divert attention from his economic record.
- While platforms like Google Maps and Microsoft Bing have previously reflected Trump's naming decisions for United States users, international organizations are not compelled to follow these domestic labeling changes or recognize 'New America.
