    Donald Trump has announced his latest in a string of plans to rename key markers of geography and history. The 80-year-old president embarked on yet another Truth Social rampage on Sunday. In one afternoon post, Trump shared a crudely altered map proposing a new name for the entire state of New Mexico.
