In his latest proposal to rename geographic locations, President Trump posted multiple times online about changing New Mexico to New America.
On social media today, the president published at least seven versions of maps with that name change.
That followed several posts yesterday, including this A.I.
video of him replacing the word Mexico with America on a road sign.

The Kremlin said today it's not ruling out future talks between Ukraine, Russia and the United States.
But spokesman Dmitry Peskov said it was too early to say when or where they could take place.

But, sometimes, in the face of nature, we are powerless.
AMNA NAWAZ: Chinese authorities say at least 43 people died and more than 500 remain missing.

Britain's King Charles reconfirmed the status of Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, today as non-working royals following their return to the U.K.
A letter reportedly sent to government officials on the king's behalf states that their position is -- quote -- "akin to private citizens" when it comes to their work and security arrangements.
The king wanted to -- quote -- "help avoid doubt or confusion" by restating their status.
Harry and Meghan returned to the U.K.
late last month after leaving their royal duties and moving to the U.S.
six years ago.
