唐纳德·特朗普总统再次提出将新墨西哥州改名的建议，敦促该州将州名中的“Mexico”替换为“America”，并认为这一改变能够提升该州的房产价值及居民的自豪感。他在社交媒体平台“Truth Social”上写道：“新墨西哥州应该立即更名为‘新美国’。我们不是墨西哥，我们是美利坚合众国！”他补充说：“这样的改名将为该州带来巨大的价值和声望；房产价值与居民收入都会上升，大家在升国旗时也会感到更加自豪！”
President Donald Trump is giving New Mexico another branding pitch, urging the state to swap "Mexico" for "America" and suggesting the change could boost everything from home values to state pride. "New Mexico should immediately change its name to New America. We are not Mexico, we are the United States of America!" Trump wrote on Truth Social. "The name would add great value and prestige to the State!
此外，特朗普还借此机会批评了新墨西哥州的选举制度。他在帖子中写道：“也许就连新墨西哥州以‘不公正的选举’而闻名的问题，也能因此得到改善！”
Home Values and Incomes would rise, and you would be even prouder while saluting our beautiful American Flag!" The president also worked in a swipe at the state’s elections.
美国司法部正在对17个州进行非法投票行为的调查，这些州的选举结果存在严重争议。特朗普在帖子中并未提供任何证据来支持自己的主张，也没有解释为何改名能够提升房产价值和居民收入。这一提议其实源于他上个月发布的一张地图——在那张地图上，新墨西哥州的名称被用红色划掉并替换为“America”。白宫也在其官方X账号上转发了这篇帖子。
"Maybe even the Crooked Elections, that New Mexico is known for, would become honest again!" he wrote. Trump offered no evidence in the post to support his election allegation or explain how a name change would increase property values and incomes. The suggestion revives an idea Trump floated last month, when he shared a map showing "Mexico" crossed out in red and replaced with "America." The White House amplified that post on its official X account.
在9月9日的共和党全国代表大会（RNC）上，特朗普再次提出这一建议，称新墨西哥州应该更名为“新美国”，并声称这一想法很受欢迎。他说：“新墨西哥州是我们的邻州，我们应该将其更名为‘新美国’。我相信民众非常喜欢这个想法。”他还嘲讽加拿大，称在边境贸易紧张的背景下，加拿大或许也会考虑将安大略湖更名为“Lake America”。
Trump also pitched the change during remarks at the RNC Midterm Convention on Sept. 9, suggesting neighboring New Mexico become "New America" and claiming the idea was popular. "You have a neighboring state, New Mexico. We think it should be called New America," Trump said. "I’ll tell you, the people love the idea." "I don’t know about the radical left.
新墨西哥州民主党籍州长米歇尔·卢汉·格里沙姆当时对此予以反驳，她对福克斯新闻数字频道表示，该州的名称“不容争辩——早在美国存在之前它就属于我们了”。她指责白宫在分散注意力，而她的政府正致力于儿童保育、教育、医疗保健和住房事务。纽约州州长霍楚尔直言不讳地回应特朗普将安大略湖改名为“美国湖”的提议：“当白宫浪费时间在地图上涂颜色时，新墨西哥正忙着做事，”卢汉·格里沙姆上个月说。
I’m sure it doesn’t like it, but the people love it," he added. New Mexico’s Democratic governor, Michelle Lujan Grisham, pushed back at the time, telling Fox News Digital that the state’s name "isn’t up for debate — it’s been ours since before the United States existed." She accused the White House of focusing on a distraction while her administration worked on child care, education, health care and housing. "While the White House wastes time coloring on maps, Nuevo México is busy doing the work," Lujan Grisham said last month.
特朗普最新的帖子呼吁该州改名，但并未提出正式的程序。新墨西哥州的名称明确写入其宪法第一条，其中规定：“本州名称为新墨西哥。”众议院民主党人黛比·丁格尔将特朗普更改安大略湖名称一事置于风口浪尖。这一提议是在特朗普采取行动将安大略湖在联邦层面更名为“美国湖”、并将墨西哥湾更名为“美国湾”之后提出的。本文有贡献。
Trump’s latest post calls for the state to change its name but does not lay out a formal process for doing so. New Mexico’s name is expressly written into Article I of its constitution, which states, "The name of this state is New Mexico." The proposal follows Trump’s moves to rename Lake Ontario "Lake America" for federal use and the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of America." buted to this report.
