President Donald Trump recently posted maps and AI-generated videos on Truth Social suggesting New Mexico be renamed “New America,” following his earlier executive orders renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America and Lake Ontario to Lake America. New Mexico’s Democratic governor, Michelle Lujan Grisham, and congressional delegation immediately rejected the idea, citing the state’s historical name origins that predate both the United States and modern Mexico. The president has no unilateral authority to change a state’s legal name; any alteration would require action by the New Mexico legislature and voters under the state constitution. No formal executive order, proclamation, or federal directive directing the rename has been issued, leaving trader consensus focused on the low likelihood of such a step amid clear legal and political barriers.
