SPEAK UP

OPINION: Speak Up!

Why does Trump keep naming things (Lake Ontario and New Mexico) as Lake America and New America after an ITALIAN (Amerigo Vespucci)? I thought Trump was of German and Scot ancestry/heritage? Why doesn't he give them German or Scot names? DJ

New America? I LIKE the sound of that. PKC

Now that our state is named New America, I assume that I will have to get a new state DRIVER’S LICENSE. Where do I do that? FVB

The president likes to rename things; especially after himself. I will always use the old names. New Mexico, Lake Ontario, the Gulf of Mexico. I will remember the TRUMP INFLATION, Trump gas prices, The Trump national debt and the coming Trump economic collapse. BJ

New America? I don't think so! Only New Mexicans can change our states name. But he can change other geographic names. The Rio Grande renamed to The GRAND AMERICAN RIVER with an arch across it. Mount Taylor rebranded to Mount Tru ... well you get the picture. JM

Because you say it is, does not make it so. Gulf of America, Lake America, NEW AMERICA. What about New England? What about New York? What about Lake Huron? What about Lake Superior? As a proud native Nuevo Mexicano I vote “no.” JV

Our governor should enter an executive order declaring that New Mexico has renamed President Trump "PRESIDENT BONE SPURS." MO

Trump has it right, sort of. New Mexico is really "NEW CALIFORNIA." Instead of a multibillion dollar debt, this state is awash with cash to lead the socialist war on democracy. GT

Proud to live in "New America" where the needs of the PEOPLE ARE NO. 1 — child daycare is a right, Medicaid and SNAP benefits are covered by the state, a woman's right to choose is assured and the right to vote is assured with early and mail voting. AF

TDS is alive and well in New Mexico. Practically every day, an elected Democrat exposes just how crazy they can get when Trump says or does anything. Trump is a master at RILING UP his opponents. And now that it is election time, the diaper-wetting season is ramping up. GH

Trump says, "Some people have suggested changing New Mexico to New America" and you know it's a lie from his demented brain. Thousands are dying in HIS WAR and all he thinks of is renaming New Mexico. EN
