The administration of Donald Trump, the President of the United States, has made a controversial and debated decision to change the name of the state of New Mexico to New America. This name change comes at a time when the country is grappling with the highest diesel prices in its history and the war in Iran has turned into a long-term crisis.
Geographical Suicide
Trump, known as a relentless and free mapmaker, recently stated: "If you think about it, we have a bay and a lake. Now all we need is an ocean." These remarks somewhat refer to the Gulf of America, which is actually the Gulf of Mexico. He also mentioned the Lake of America, which no one refers to as Lake Ontario, yet Trump has recently renamed it.
New Oceans of America
With this trend, it seems that the proposed oceans for this American ocean include the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, although the question arises as to why other oceans should be exempt from these changes. In this case, geographical tests in the United States will also become noticeably simpler.
As these name changes continue, it appears that Trump is creating a new geographical world that is uniquely his own. Some believe this action is a sign of neglect towards more serious issues facing the country, while others see it as an entertaining spectacle that the President provides to distract the public.
