President Trump renews call for New Mexico to change its name to 'New America'

President Donald Trump called for New Mexico on Monday to rename itself "New America," claiming the name change would "add great value and prestige to the state."

The president's urging comes a month after he trolled the state by posting several maps on social media that suggested the name change to "New American." Trump previously signed an executive order that renamed Lake Ontario, which borders Canada to "Lake America," and changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

Trump suggested renaming the predominantly Democratic state would cause home values and income to rise and suggested it would make the state's "crooked elections" be "honest again."

"New Mexico should immediately change its name to New America," Trump posted to Truth Social. "We are not Mexico, we are the United States of America! The name would add great value and prestige to the State!
