Mexico News Daily publishes satire about Trump’s “renaming” of Mexico
Mexico News Daily published a fictional story in its satirical El Jalapeño section about an alleged proposal by U.S. President Donald Trump to rename Mexico. The introduction to the article explicitly states that all El Jalapeño publications are satire and not real news.
Plot of the satirical publication
According to the authors’ fictional version, Trump allegedly proposed calling Mexico South America and the state of New Mexico New America. This is presented as a continuation of satirical “initiatives” to rename the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario.
The text mentions an alleged Truth Social post, a digitally altered map, and a video created using artificial intelligence. These details are part of the fictional plot, not a report on real actions by the U.S. administration.

Fictional reactions
The satirical article contains alleged comments from a representative of Mexico’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, White House staff, trade analysts, and cartographers. In particular, the authors jokingly describe a scenario in which South American countries could be called Farther South America.
The publication is not a report about a real proposal to change the names of Mexico or New Mexico.
