I can't wait to see a meeting with President Sheinbaum and Trump. She's made a point to negate pretty much anything he's had to say about Mexico. He won't know what to do with himself.
I was near the Gulf recently. And the funny thing is that I thought at the time, "I'll bet this crazy fuck who's about to enter office will want to change its name." And here we are...
A pointless name change to mark their territory like urinating alley cats. A show of frailty masked as strength that's as inconsequential as it is superfluous. A superficial distraction from meaningful issues. A mask. A cover....bullshit.
Puerto Rico should be the 51st state - they would probably be a Democrat state. Canada is a sovereign country which I would fight for and die for if the need were to arise. Rump should be barred from the G7 this year as a clear threat to our sovereignty.
Heck, embrace it. "Two hurricanes are forming in GoA, about to destroy the Texas and Florida coastlines..."
"Oil spill covers GoA"
Just use it in any sort of negative coverage only. Vacations? GoM. Disaster? GoA.
And start naming all hurricanes after members of Trump family.
An actual military invasion would invoke Nato Article 5 mutual defense clause. Even if it is a NATO member attacking another NATO member. So Trump would want to buy Greenland - but probably without paying fair value for all the natural resources and oil under the ice and surrounding seabed.
And, of course MTG is all fired up to get the name changed. Tried it in Mississippi Legislature/2012 w/a bill to rename portions of the gulf that touch that state’s beaches “Gulf of America,”. That bill, which was referred to a committee, did not pass.
It's completely stupid and a distraction to try and divert people's attention. For many, those with reasoning skills, it is obvious, and we still know he's a narcissistic jerk uncapable of honoring his duties.
I'm Canadian and I am thinking that in honor of President Trump and his tremendous brain and rugged, leathery good looks we should rename Hudson Bay "The Bay That's Roughly A Two Hour Flight From Minnesota."
The funny thing about his funked up proposal is that calling it the Gulf of America means that it’s a continental gulf and possibly a western hemisphere gulf since our country is the United States and not America.
mexico should reclaim texas, spain should reclaim florida, france should void the louisiana purchase --- but seriously canada , mexico, & the eu should establish an economic union that avoids the united states & establishes a no fly zone for american based airlines and americans
You'll wind up out on his dance floor
Diggin' the finest little five piece group
Up and down the Gulf of . . . America
Guess who's leadin' that five-piece band
Well, wouldn't ya know, it's that swingin' little guitar man
I'm on my way to Italy from the Gulf of . . . America
Riding on a tanker, feeling mighty low
My good gal's behind me, no loving for so long
I'm going back to Texas, for that's where I belong
We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
Down the Mississippi . . .
. . . to the Gulf of America
I was under the impression the Trump administration wanted to save money and would cut federal spending, yet the taxpayers will fund not only renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, the taxpayers will pay for printing new maps, new Atlas’s, new books, updating website websites
What's next for this cockwomble? Rename the States, Trump-Merika. . . Trumpistan?' I know he has always had diarrhea-of-the-mouth but this is getting ridiculous.
They need to pepper their governance with ridiculousness so we don’t pay attention. Everything will be sane washed and none us will be much the wiser. I am terrified for all of our futures.
He will never be able to rename the Gulf or aquire anything to expand the US.. the word won't allow him to get away with it
Who the hell does he think he is...God?? ( Don't answer that, we already know)
Yet wasn’t this all to basically sort out the prices of gas and groceries..? Now it’s Panama Canal, Greenland and Canada added into this.. it’s getting bloody daft and I bloody hope the Maga / trumplican party collapses in their own situation
These are the same softies who think pronouns are an inconvenience to remember but now want to rename every mountain and military base and water system.
Their own leader cannot pick between his birth last name or Dittmann.
Changing names of cities and landmarks to appease a nationalist fan base is among the laziest things authoritarians with no real policy do to improve the morale of their dimwitted supporters. Its hardly new.
I am thinking Mexico should ask for a take back on Texas, California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, most of Arizona and Colorado, and parts of Oklahoma, Kansas, and Wyoming. History is among the many subjects Trump has negative understanding of.
Will forever be gulf of Mexico and will call it gulf of Mexico even if it is political and will bring it up each time if it is i refuse to ever call it gulf of America just to "not start problems"
I think that Mexico, and, oh, cartographers everywhere are going to call "GO FUCK YOURSELF, ASSHOLE!" on that one.
The old son of a bitch seems to just want to scorch the Earth before he dies, because if he has to die, so should everyone else or else its VERY UNFAIR! to him.
Trump can call gulf whatever he likes but it doesn’t make it so. I know Americans have been indoctrinated about being the leader of the free world but they don’t control it. There will be a rude awakening for them. We have seen this play out in history before.
At least it’s not the Gulf of The United States. A rare moment of inclusivity from trump. Showing respect for all of America, Canada, Mexico, Honduras etc.
That or he’s just being his normal ignorant self.
I'm not sure why he's not going with the Gulf of Trump? Ya something going to get slapped with that moniker, how bout a gold plated sign on the white house?

… this too, shall pass.
Was like trying to make Fetch happen.

My good gal's behind me, no loving for so long
I'm going back to Texas, for that's where I belong
The sandy beaches drift in time
And the changing tide I know
Won't bring me back to yesterday
And the Gulf of . . . America
No more Lake Ontario!
From now on . . . Lake Rochester, New York!
We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
Down the Mississippi . . .
. . . to the Gulf of America
why?
(sarcasm, but hey, I wouldn't put it past him)
What would they change to though?
New York, Athens etc

He cannot get bacon or eggs cheaper so voila.
🤔 Mexico's America... it does have a ring to it.....
I like Mexico's president she takes no 💩 from an orange puke
Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America 🙄
There is something sooooooo wrong with the Orange Blob
VERY WRONG

Is America going to be on some weird territorial expansionist program?
Everything will be renamed will -Kraine at the end.
Congratulations, voters; you've given middle schoolers the keys to the kingdom.
The old son of a bitch seems to just want to scorch the Earth before he dies, because if he has to die, so should everyone else or else its VERY UNFAIR! to him.
The gulf will now always be called just.... "Charlie".
Why Trump would want to name it the – wait – that’s on brand for him.
