唐纳德·特朗普总统再次推动新墨西哥州进行重新命名，他在Truth Social上断言：“新墨西哥州应立即更名为新美国”，距离中期选举仅剩几天。
Trump demands New Mexico renamed to ‘New America’ setting off firestorm with two weeks to the midterms Sign up HERE to our DC Insider newsletter - your guide to what's rocking Washington, rattling the White House and setting tongues wagging on the Hill President Donald Trump renewed his push for New Mexico to undergo a rebranding, asserting on Truth Social that 'New Mexico should immediately change its name to New America' with just days ahead of the midterm elections.
特朗普辩称：“我们不是墨西哥，我们是美利坚合众国！”他将该提议的名称描述为经济和文化的提振，声称“房价和收入将上升”，并伴随当地爱国主义。
Trump argued that 'we are not Mexico, we are the United States of America!' Trump pitched the proposed moniker as an economic and cultural boost, claiming 'home values and incomes would rise' alongside local patriotism.
他还将此提议与其对选举诚信的更广泛评论联系起来，补充道：“也许连新墨西哥州以之闻名的‘舞弊选举’也会重新变得诚实！”上个月，特朗普发布了一段奇怪的AI修改过的模因图，显示新墨西哥州更名后的样子。
He also connected the pitch to his broader commentary on voting integrity, adding, 'Maybe even the Crooked Elections, that New Mexico is known for, would become honest again!' Last month, Trump posted a bizarre AI-altered meme showing New Mexico with a new name.
正如他其他重新命名的举措一样——比如将安大略湖改名为“美洲湖”，将墨西哥湾改名为“美洲湾”——特朗普发布了该模因图，展示了西南部州更名后的样子，新名称为“新美国”。
In line with his other relabelings, like turning the Lake of Ontario into the Lake of America and the Gulf of Mexico into the Gulf of America, Trump posted the meme showing the southwestern state with an updated name, 'New America.'
该帖子显示了该州的地图，其中“墨西哥”被红色划掉，并被替换为“美国”。大约一小时后，这位80岁的特朗普发布了一段AI视频，画面中他正在一块“欢迎来到新墨西哥州”的公路标志上贴上一个新的“美国”标签，随后爆发出他标志性的双拳舞动作。
The post showed a map of the state where 'Mexico' had been crossed out in red and replaced with 'America.' About an hour later, the 80-year-old published an AI video of him slapping a new 'America' label on a 'Welcome to New Mexico' highway sign before busting into his signature dual fist dance routine.
共和党人在社交媒体上分享了这张图片，未作任何评论。随后，他的政治对手立刻陷入狂怒。在看到这些激烈的评论后，特朗普随后发布了一段AI视频，视频中他正在新墨西哥州欢迎标志上贴上新标签。特朗普身着牛仔帽，在华盛顿特区白宫椭圆形办公室与1980年美国奥运男子冰球队成员一起参加法案签署仪式，时间为2025年12月12日。
The Republican shared this imag eon social media without comment. Immediately, his political opponents went into a furious frenzy After presumably seeing the seething comments Trump then posted an AI video of him slapping a new label on a New Mexico welcome sign Trump wears a cowboy hat during a billg ceremony with members of the 1980 US Olympic men's ice hockey team in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC, on December 12, 2025 'New Mexico's name isn't up for debate - it's been ours since before the United States existed,' New Mexico Democratic Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham said prior.
新墨西哥州名字不容争论——它早在美国存在之前就一直是我们的，新墨西哥州民主党州长米歇尔·卢汉·格里沙姆此前如是说。她称该帖子是对伊朗战争相关涨价问题的转移注意力。
She called the post a distraction from price hikes associated with the Iran war.
“白宫浪费时间在地图上涂鸦时，新墨西哥正忙着做实际工作，”州长补充道。
'While the White House wastes time coloring on maps, Nuevo México is busy doing the work,' the governor added.
尽管有人认为这是一种威胁，但总统并没有权力更改新墨西哥州的名称。
Despite the perceived threat, the president does not have the power to rename New Mexico.
任何对名称的更改提议必须来自州内部，因为该名称写入了该州宪法。上个月，民主党人在总统提出更改名称后对他进行了攻击。
Any change proposed to the name has to come from within the state, since the name is written in its Constitution. Last month, Democrats attacked the President after he proposed the name change.
“新墨西哥一直是新墨西哥，过去如此，将来也将永远如此，”参议员本·雷·卢汉在回应中写道。“就像你永远会是一个无耻之徒和腐败分子一样，”他补充道，用西班牙语称总统为“无耻之徒”或“流氓”。
'It's New Mexico, always has been and always will be,' Senator Ben Ray Lujan wrote in response. 'Just like how you'll always be a sinvergüenza and corrupt,' he added, calling the president a 'shameless person' or 'scoundrel' in Spanish.
民主党众议员梅拉妮·斯坦斯伯里作出反应：“哦，地狱不！我们州的名字承载着几代人的历史、文化和家庭——它属于我们。我们是新墨西哥人。就这样。”
Democratic Congresswoman Melanie Stansbury reacted: 'Oh hell no! Our state's name carries generations of history, culture, and family - and it belongs to us. We're New Mexicans.
圣达菲，新墨西哥州——唐纳德·特朗普总统通过建议将新墨西哥州更名为“新美国”引发争议。早在八月下旬，特朗普签署了一项行政命令，正式将安大略湖更名为“美洲湖”。
Period.' Santa Fe, New Mexico President Donald Trump stoked controversy by suggesting that New Mexico be renamed 'New America' Back in late August, Trump signed an executive order officially changing Lake Ontario's name to Lake America.
“我们为保卫加拿大一无所获，什么也没有得到。”他告诉椭圆形办公室的记者，当被问及是什么促使了这些改变时。“我们爱加拿大人民，但他们的代表没有做好本职工作。”特朗普说，他一直在考虑这个名称改变已经很长时间了。特朗普当时还暗示，大西洋和太平洋可能是他接下来的目标。
'We defend Canada for nothing, we don't get anything,' he told reporters in the Oval Office when asked what prompted these changes. 'We love the people of Canada, but their representatives aren't doing an appropriate job.' Trump said he has been thinking of this name change for a 'long time'. Trump teased then that the Atlantic and Pacific oceans could be next on his radar.
“实际上，正如你们所知，我们拿到了一个叫做墨西哥湾的地方，并将其更名，现在它常规地被称为美洲湾。”特朗普指出。“所以，如果你们想想看，我们有一个海湾，还有一个湖泊。现在，我们只需要一个海洋。所以，也许我们不得不改变大西洋和/或太平洋的名称。”
'Actually, as you know, we took something called the Gulf of Mexico and we changed it, and now it's very routinely the Gulf of America,' Trump noted. 'So, if you think about it, we have a Gulf and we have a lake. Now, all we need is an ocean. So, maybe we'll have to change the name of the Atlantic and/or the Pacific.'
