Trump Rebrands State in Bonkers Posting Spree

Nicholas Kamm/AFP via Getty Images Donald Trump has announced his latest in a string of plans to rename key markers of geography and history.

The 80-year-old president embarked on yet another Truth Social rampage on Sunday.

In one afternoon post, Trump shared a crudely altered map proposing a new name for the entire state of New Mexico.

With ‘Mexico’ crossed out, Trump floated his idea: ‘New America.’ Democratic New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham responded to Trump’s post on X : “New Mexico’s name isn’t up for debate — it’s been ours since before the United States existed,” Grisham wrote.

“While the President tries to distract Americans from his disastrous war in Iran, the price of gas —and everything else — keeps rising.

Under Democratic leadership here in New Mexico, we’re providing families with free childcare and college, protecting access to health care and investing in housing.

While the White House wastes time coloring on maps, Nuevo México is busy doing the work.” On Sunday evening, Trump made another Truth Social post on the topic, stating “Many people suggested changing the name of New Mexico, one of the great vote cheating states of all time, to NEW AMERICA.

So much more prestigious and beautiful for the people of that potentially incredible State.

Wow, I Love It!!!” The post also included an AI slop video of Trump putting “America” over a “Welcome to New Mexico” sign, before doing his trademark dance to the Village People’s “Y.M.C.A.” Elsewhere on X, viewers of the naming proposal seemed torn between fury and incredulity.

“Why stop there? New York should also be New America.

New Jersey and New Hampshire, too.

Pennsylvania could be Americasylvania. you should call all dogs America, and all cats, too. rename the periodic table the America Table, and call Oxygen Americagen,” one person mocked.

A second slammed: “Bro stop renaming things and fix the economy.” Trump certainly has a penchant for rechristening landmarks with more MAGA-coded names.

The president kicked things off at the beginning of his second term in January 2025, when he signed the executive order “Restoring Names That Honor American Greatness.” As part of this order, he infamously renamed the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America.
