- In September, Trump said “many people” had suggested renaming New Mexico New America.
- On Monday, he demanded the immediate renaming while early voting was already underway in more than half a dozen states.
- He said the new name could increase property values and incomes and make elections more honest.
- Trump also proposed renaming the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario and apparently mentioned the Atlantic less seriously.
New Mexico should immediately change its name to New America. 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!— Donald Trump, in a Truth Social post advocating renaming New Mexico to New America
