Trump Trolls New Mexico

 

President Trump recently shared a humorous social media post musing about changing New Mexico's name. The Troller-in-Chief’s message read, "Many people suggested changing the name of New Mexico, one of the great vote cheating states of all time, to NEW AMERICA. So much more prestigious and beautiful for the people of that potentially incredible State. Wow, I Love It!!!" Nonetheless, the humor was lost on the Land of Enchantment state’s Democratic Governor, Michelle Lujan Grisham, who immediately huffily and stuffily posted a rebuttal on X: "New Mexico’s name isn’t up for debate — it’s been ours since before the United States existed.” Okay, Karen, get off your high horse for a moment. You think “New Mexico” has been yours since before the U.S. existed? Tells us a lot about you.

There is a nearly endless list of places, entities, and things The Great Name Changer could rename. Why not rename New England “New America?” And the New England Patriots to the New American Patriots? Does that not sound Trumpian? There is more low-hanging fruit. Mamdani’s New York City could be rebranded as “New American City.” I bet that would stick in the Muslim mayor’s craw. New Orleans? New Castle? New London, New Ulm, New Haven, New Bedford, New Rochelle, etc., etc. Could these be renamed by Executive Order?

And I’m certain it’s just a matter of time before Trump rechristens Canadian geese as “American geese” and Canada Dry soft drinks as “America Dry tough as nails” drinks. Canadian bacon? That must be renamed “American bacon” or “America is Back bacon.” I’m sure Canada will soon pull their bacon from their pathetic excuses for grocery stores anyway, to avoid offending their rapidly burgeoning Muslim population. Pork is violence, eh, hoser?
