President Trump Posts Picture Renaming New Mexico 'New America'
- On Sunday, Sept. 6, the White House reposted an image from President Donald Trump depicting a map of New Mexico with an "X" over "Mexico," replaced by "America." The post sparked widespread speculation regarding a potential state renaming.
- The 80-year-old president recently renamed the "Gulf of Mexico" to "Gulf of America" and Lake Ontario to "Lake America." These actions follow his previous attempts to add his name to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.
- While the "New America" map circulated widely, the image originated as a parody posted on Sept. 1 by the account Daily Noud. No official executive order exists to rename New Mexico, and it remains unclear how such a mandate would legally function.
- Apps like MapQuest surged in popularity after refusing to change the names of Lake Ontario and the Gulf of Mexico, while Apple and Google accommodated the orders. Private companies have responded inconsistently to the president's naming directives.
- Critics argue that the administration uses these renaming tactics as a distraction from pressing national issues, including inflation and gas prices, as the president's overall approval rating stands at 36% per NBC polling.
