美国总统特朗普在社交媒体连发7张新地图,提议将新墨西哥州改名为新美国州。新墨西哥州州长格里沙姆及多位议员强硬回击,指出该名字比美国建国还早,且宪法规定总统无权单方面更改州名。

特朗普此前曾签署指令将墨西哥湾改名为美国湾、安大略湖改名为美国湖,并提议将霍尔木兹海峡改名为特朗普海峡。
继将“新墨西哥州”更名为“新美国州”的提议被痛批后,美国总统特朗普似乎并未受到影响。
美东时间9月7日,特朗普干脆一口气连发7张新地图,用不同的地图样式,反复强调着同一件事——把“新墨西哥州”变成“新美国州”。
特朗普为AI视频背书:“新美国州”更高级
在抛出这7张新图之前,整个更名风暴在9月6日晚间就已经初见端倪。
当时特朗普率先甩出了第一张AI地图,随后又在主页上追加了一段由AI生成的恶搞短视频。
在视频里,特朗普亲自出镜,手拿着一张写有“美国”的巨大贴纸,直接拍在了一块写着“欢迎来到新墨西哥州”的公路标志牌上,把原本的州名遮得严严实实。
他在视频下方亲自敲下了这段配文:“许多人建议,把新墨西哥州这个一直以来‘选举舞弊最严重’的州,改名为‘新美国’(NEW AMERICA)。对于这个拥有巨大潜力的州的居民来说,这个名字既体面又优美得多。哇,我太喜欢这个主意了!!!”
又是标志性的三个叹号。
州长议员硬刚:我们建州比美国建国还早!
面对特朗普的改名攻势,新墨西哥州的本地官员们坐不住了,纷纷在第一时间开启“暴躁回击”模式。
新墨西哥州现任民主党籍女州长米歇尔·卢汉·格里沙姆发文回击:“新墨西哥州的名字没有任何讨论的空间。早在美利坚合众国诞生之前,这个名字就已经是我们的了 。”
她还毫不客气地表示,这完全是白宫为了转移公众对目前棘手民生问题的注意力。
当地的几位国会议员态度甚至更加强硬。
民主党籍新墨西哥州联邦参议员马丁·海因里希在社交媒体发声:“有三个地方,我将永远使用它们的真名:墨西哥湾、安大略湖、新墨西哥州。”
联邦众议员盖布·瓦斯奎兹表示:“你们休想抹去新墨西哥州——无论是我们的名字、我们的历史,还是我们的文化。”
还有“终极梦想”:大洋也要更名
事实上,自特朗普二度入主白宫以来,就会发现新墨西哥州并不是第一个被他用红笔“修改”的地图目标。
第一天回白宫:特朗普签署了第一份行政令,直接把“墨西哥湾”重新命名为“美国湾”;
上个月打贸易战:为了反击加拿大的高额关税,特朗普签署法令,把美加跨境的著名地标“安大略湖”改名为“美国湖”;
甚至就在几天前:由于霍尔木兹海峡的冲突不断,特朗普提出,要把这条国际战略咽喉航道改名为“特朗普海峡”。
在完成了“改完海湾改大湖”的壮举后,特朗普日前公开在镜头前对支持者们透露了自己的“终极梦想”:“我们有‘湾’了,有‘湖’了。现在,就差个‘洋’了。要不把大西洋、太平洋给改改?”
至于特朗普的红笔能否抹去新墨西哥州的痕迹?美国主流媒体已经一针见血地指出,根据美国宪法,总统在法律上并没有单方面更改一个州合法名称的权力。

He Zaixin, head of Gongguan Township in Miaoli County, announced that he would not seek re-election and that his wife, Ye Meihui, would run for office in an equal-amount election instead, sparking local dissatisfaction and a vote-cancellation campaign. According to Article 70 of the Law on the Election and Recall of Public Servants, in the same election, 20% of the votes of the electors (approximately 5,240 votes) are required to be elected, otherwise a new by-election will be conducted.

Former Executive Yuan political commissar Zhang Jingsen warned that MRT construction costs are high and capital efficiency is low, and the brakes should be put on the brakes at the right time to avoid financial burdens. However, in the Kaohsiung mayoral election year, Lai Ruilong of the Democratic Progressive Party and Ke Zhien of the Kuomintang both promised to accelerate the construction of the Purple Line and Linyuan MRT. Ke Zhien even expanded his idea to extend to Pingtung Donggang.

Kaohsiung City launched neighborhood adjustment in July this year, and held the first election of neighborhood directors in 17 sub-districts, with a total of 44 people registered to run. Among them, three districts including Cai Kili, Fushan District in Zuoying District and Badili in Renwu District are competing for the same amount, while Xinchao District in Zuoying District and Qingxiang District in Nanzi District have the most intense competition, with five people each registering.

Kuomintang legislator Weng Xiaoling has attracted criticism from the outside world for her many controversial remarks, including calling herself an "upright Chinese" and advocating for lowering the prison terms of soldiers who surrendered to the Communist Party. Recently, political worker Zhou Xuan witnessed a propaganda truck repeatedly playing his controversial speech in Da'an Forest Park, and shared the video to social platforms, triggering heated discussions among netizens. Wang Bisheng, deputy director of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, and others left messages to express their support and inquire about sponsorship channels. Netizens also suggested that the promotional truck should be driven to various places in Taiwan to broadcast it, and some people said they were willing to provide financial support.

On the 7th, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Bagaei issued a rare message in Korean on X, warning that South Korea would face serious consequences if it participates in military operations in the Strait of Hormuz against Iran. This move was seen as Iran's direct message to the South Korean government, asking it to reject the United States' request to send troops.

Democratic Progressive Party Taichung City Councilor Zhang Jiayu pointed out that "increasing gas and reducing coal" in Taichung thermal power plants is a local consensus. He emphasized that the dismantling of coal-fired units requires a demolition license and must be reviewed and approved by the central city government's urban plan. He called on the city government not to delay the review process to ensure that Taipower's 2034 coal-free goal is achieved.
