President Trump Hints At Changing The Name Of New Mexico, Here’s What He Suggests It Should Be Renamed

President Donald Trump hinted he isn’t done changing the names of major geographic locations in a Sunday post on Truth Social, with the president apparently now looking at swapping the name of a U.S. state — New Mexico.

Trump posted a map of the Southwest state with the word “Mexico” getting crossed out in bright red and replaced with the word “America,” in a move which unofficially rechristened it “New America.”

The post is (likely) just a troll following the president’s much-publicized renaming of Lake Ontario to Lake America last month, in retaliation to a trade deal with Canada collapsing at the last minute. Trump’s name change immediately riled up many liberals, while a ton of MAGA fans hailed the move by saying it was elite trolling from Trump. Google and Apple also went ahead and changed the name for U.S. users on their map apps.
