Trump Renews Push to Rename New Mexico ‘New America’

Trump’s post was one of a dozen or more messages aimed at drawing attention as Truth Social stock closed at an all-time low.

  • President Donald Trump proposed renaming New Mexico to 'New America' on Truth Social Monday, asserting the rebranding would boost 'Home Values and Incomes' and make 'Crooked Elections' honest.
  • This suggestion follows a pattern of unilateral renaming, including changing Lake Ontario to 'Lake America.' Critics attribute these actions to political distraction or potential cognitive decline, as New Mexico consistently votes Democratic.
  • Amid the proposal, Truth Social stock hit an all-time low today, down from $14.53 in January. Investors face potential losses as the platform struggles with financial viability.
  • White House counsel Will Scharf is investigating a pay-to-play scheme involving Ric Grenell and Turhan Mildon. Allegations include a missing $5.6 million donation from a $17.6 million transfer intended for the Kennedy Center.
  • With midterm elections approaching, Trump faces pressure to focus on campaigning for Republicans instead of pursuing place-name changes. Strategists argue the renaming distraction will likely invite mockery rather than secure votes.
