Trump suggests renaming New Mexico 'New America'

In early September 2026, President Donald Trump suggested renaming the state of New Mexico to 'New America'. He shared a video and a map on social media that showed the proposed new name, which quickly led to a flood of online memes and taunts.

This follows Trump's earlier push to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the 'Gulf of America'. The suggestion has generated widespread discussion and mockery on social media platforms.
