@dailymail: President Donald Trump renewed his push for New Mexico to undergo a rebranding, asserting on Truth Social on Monday that "New Mexico should immediately change its name to New America" with just days ahead of the midterm elections. Trump argued that "we are not Mexico, we are the United States of America!" Trump pitched the proposed moniker as an economic and cultural boost, claiming "home values and incomes would rise" alongside local patriotism. "New Mexico's name isn't up for debate - it's been ours since before the United States existed," New Mexico Democratic Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham said prior. She called the post a distraction from price hikes associated with the Iran war. "While the White House wastes time coloring on maps, Nuevo México is busy doing the work," the governor added. #news #trump #newmexico #newamerica
