- Donald Trump shared an image crossing out “Mexico” in New Mexico’s name and replacing it with “America.”
- Berlingske’s U.S. correspondent said the move fits a broader strategy by the president, whose renaming ideas repeatedly provoke strong reactions.
Donald Trump has done it before, and now he is doing it again. New Mexico is becoming New America, at least in an image shared by the U.S. president.
Trump posted the image on social media on Sunday. It showed the state of New Mexico with “Mexico” crossed out and replaced by “America.”
The gesture is far from his first attempt to give a prominent place a more distinctly American-sounding name. Yet such moves continue to trigger strong reactions whenever the president suddenly proposes them.
According to Berlingske’s U.S. correspondent, the repeated renaming ideas have become part of Trump’s strategy. The correspondent also said that “even Americans are starting to have enough.”
Even Americans are starting to have enough.
