New Mexico delegation snubs Trump's 'New America' rebrand at Dallas convention

rawstory.com

At President Donald Trump's Dallas convention, the New Mexico delegation displayed a sign reading "New Mexico," ignoring his proposal to rename the state "New America," as reported by the Patriot Takes account on X. Trump promoted the name change on Truth Social, calling New Mexico a "vote-cheating state" and suggesting "New America" would be more prestigious. The state's name predates Mexico's independence, referencing Aztec lands. This follows Trump's earlier attempts to rename the Gulf of Mexico as "Gulf of America" and Lake Ontario, with some tech companies updating maps despite no legal obligation.
