Trump moves ahead with his rebranding crusade: proposes to call New Mexico "New America"

President Donald Trump proposed renaming the state of New Mexico to 'New America' during a recent social media post, suggesting it would be more prestigious and beautiful for the state's residents. This comes after he previously signed an order to rename Lake Ontario to 'Lake America' amid trade tensions with Canada. The suggestion has sparked debate, with New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham stating the name is not under discussion and predates the creation of the United States. The White House shared Trump's post, which crossed out 'Mexico' in the state's name and replaced it with 'America.' Trump has made similar proposals before, such as renaming the Strait of Hormuz to 'Strait Trump,' though he later appeared to retract those suggestions. These actions occur as Trump faces declining support ahead of upcoming elections.
