President Trump is calling for New Mexico to change its name to “New America,” arguing that the new name would bring greater prestige to the state and increase property values and incomes. “We are not Mexico, we are the United States of America!” Trump declared. Trump also took aim at New Mexico’s elections, describing them as “crooked” and suggesting that changing the state’s name might even help make its elections honest again.
