Published Updated



President Donald Trump reiterated his demand to rename New Mexico as “New America” on Monday.

“New Mexico should immediately change its name to New America,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “We are not Mexico, we are the United States of America! The name would add great value and prestige to the State! Home Values and Incomes would rise, and you would be even prouder while saluting our beautiful American Flag! Maybe even the Crooked Elections, that New Mexico is known for, would become honest again!”
