Trump Shares Map Renaming New Mexico as ‘New America’
Trump’s habit of renaming things—often after America or himself
It also follows Trump signing an Executive Order renaming Lake Ontario as “Lake America” on Aug. 27, amid a widening trade war with Canada. The change was met with widespread disapproval from both U.S. lawmakers and Canadian politicians, who vowed Lake Ontario will continue to be called by that name.
The order applies to U.S. federal references of the lake and does not determine how Canada—or others—refer to the body of water. U.S. users of Google Maps and Apple Maps, however, will notice the change reflected.
Trump has often turned to name changes as a show of power and a way to undermine his perceived adversaries.
