Trump wants to relabel New Mexico as New America days after changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake Ameria
Donald Trump has already changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario, and now he’s targeting a US state for a rebrand.
Trump is spending the holiday weekend dreaming up his next demand to relabel America’s geography. He posted a map on Truth Social Sunday afternoon of New Mexico, but the word Mexico was crossed out and replaced with America.
Relabeling the southwestern state on the U.S.-Mexico border as New America is reminiscent of an executive order he signed early in his second term, in which he changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.
I will defend the naming of United States of America simply because it was the first country to break away from the European powers, the abbreviation of America was simply inevitable given how it took another generation for the Haitians and Mexicans to break free. Also there was a lot of early ambitions that the US would’ve been closer to the modern EU and would’ve expanded far further across the continent. Obviously that didn’t and won’t happen but yeah.
