The President of America, who is always in the headlines for international politics and his unique rhetoric. Donald Trump has once again attracted the attention of the entire world. This time Trump did not focus on the foreign policy or economic agreement of any country, but on a state of America itself. ‘New Mexico’ by changing the name of ‘New America’ A very strange and shocking suggestion has been given to do this. Since President Trump’s proposal came forward, there has been an uproar in American political circles, and there has been a flood of memes and reactions on social media. While on one hand Trump is linking it to the prestige and glory of the state, on the other hand opposition leaders and local senators have rejected it outright, calling it mere bluster. Let us know in detail what is the logic behind this new tweet of Trump and what kind of sharp reactions are being seen on it on social media.
Trump suggested changing name on social media platform ‘Truth Social’
US President Donald Trump on his official social media platform ‘Truth Social’ While sharing a post, he wrote that the state of New Mexico should change its name to ‘New America’ without any delay. Giving his argument, he wrote, “We are not Mexico, we are the United States of America.”
Trump believes that if the name of this state is changed to New America, then it will drastically increase the importance, respect and prestige of the state on the international stage. He also claimed that when the residents here salute the American flag, their sense of pride towards the country will increase further. Additionally, Trump, in his usual style, added that the name change would also ensure that New Mexico’s alleged ‘crooked elections’ system would once again become completely honest and transparent.
Old cases of name change are making fun of old cases and making fun of them on social media.
This is not the first time that Donald Trump has made such a strange demand to change the name of a geographical place. Even before this, he had talked about changing the name of ‘Gulf of Mexico’ to ‘Gulf of America’ as per his choice. Apart from this, he also wished that ‘Lake Ontario’ should be changed to ‘Lake America’. And now in this episode he has talked about changing the name of New Mexico to New America.
Social media users have made fun of Trump for his eccentric and stubborn attitude. A funny theory and jokes are going viral on the internet, in which users say that looking at such demands of Trump, it seems that he will soon change the name of the entire America to ‘New India’! Behind this, users are arguing that when Christopher Columbus set out to discover America in the depths of history, he actually set out on a journey to discover India. These jokes and memes on social media have turned this serious political issue into a humorous debate.
Strong counterattack from Democratic senators and leaders: “We will always be New Mexico”
This absurd statement of President Donald Trump has been strongly opposed by the political representatives and opposition leaders of the state. Democratic senator from New Mexico Ben Ray Lujan Gave a befitting reply to Trump by reminding him of his history. He said that the name of this state is centuries old and historical, which goes back to long before the United States of America came into existence as a nation.
Senator Lujan fired back, “We are proud New Mexicans. We are proud of our state name, proud of our home, and we will proudly keep both. Even after Donald Trump is out of office and history is made, this state will always be New Mexico.”
Political experts also believe that Trump’s threat or suggestion is nothing more than a ‘trolling’ or political publicity stunt. Constitutionally, the right to change the name of any state rests entirely with that state’s own Constitution and its people, and no such legal change can be made merely by a social media post of the President.
Bernie Sanders cornered Trump on the issues of inflation and war
Amidst this entire controversy, America’s senior senator Bernie Sanders Taking Trump to task, he replied in very strong words. Sanders wrote on social media, “No, Mr. Trump. The general public of America does not want you to change the name of New Mexico. The public wants you to immediately end your illegal and unnecessary Iran war, due to which today ordinary Americans have to pay skyrocketing prices like $ 4.30 per gallon for petrol and $ 6.30 per gallon for diesel. The people of the country are upset, and enough is enough.” Thus, while on one hand Trump is embroiled in the controversial issues of name change, on the other hand opposition leaders are seriously accusing him of diverting attention from the real domestic problems of the country.
