AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

State Identity Clash: President Trump reignited a fight over New Mexico’s name, posting a map that crosses out “Mexico” and replaces it with “America,” calling it “New America.” Local Pushback: Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham and other New Mexico Democrats slammed the idea, saying the name isn’t up for debate and accusing Trump of distracting from gas prices and other costs. Misinformation Angle: The latest uproar followed a debunked viral claim that Trump had already signed an order to rename the state; fact-checkers traced it to satire, while the White House has not announced any formal process. Broader Rebranding Pattern: The post fits Trump’s wider geographic name changes, including “Lake America” and “Gulf of America,” which have drawn international and domestic criticism. Other NM Watch: A KOAT–Albuquerque Journal poll finds voters split on a legislator-pay amendment, with many still undecided.
