Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida referred to the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America” in a state executive order on Monday, even before President Trump had taken any presidential action to rename the body of water. https://nyti.ms/3C3z66E

They can call it anything they want. The rest of the world will call it the Gulf of Mexico. Don’t bother changing the maps, the next Democratic President will change it back.
Changing names on maps is dumb -- although
If we do change the name at all then we
Should change it from the Gulf of Mexico
To Gulf of Fragile Masculinity.
I'm not sure what these people think is clever about getting the names of things wrong. I know Americans are terrible at geography because of how self-centred they are but now it's rising to another level with purposely getting things wrong.
Oh Ron, you are such a sorry ass-licker, just like Ted Cruz. Trumpe insults you and you crawl back for more. Then you act the tough alpha male when persecuting minorities. Despicable.
Unfortunately this was one of the first things online I was greeted with this morning in my climate-changed Fla home. General DeSantis always ends up a good boy for Dear Leader. Also, Gulf of which America? Oopsies.
He can call it whatever he wants privately or at his KKK rallies but it’s still the Gulf of Mexico.
Neither Florida nor America decide names of international waters.

I need to find out where all the MAGAtonians are purchasing their knee pads, so I can buy stock in that company. Seems they are going to be using out lots of knee pads.
You can attempt to fellate the Orange Felon all you want, Ron, but he's still not going to be into you. You don't remotely have enough money to interest him or his oligarchs.
This does, however, further prove just how pathetic and weak Tiny D really is.
He can call it as he want ,the United States does not decide the names of oceans and countries. De santis can always dream . Trump has not yet signed an executive order banning dreaming.
Idiots, so america will call it that - no other country or its people's will. Just like metric we all do it but america is too dumb to multiply by tens!
the president doesn't have the authority to "rename" the Gulf of Mexico. He can order his Administration to refer to it that way, but he *cannot* order its name to be officially changed.
So much for wanting to save money--I wonder how much money they'll spend changing this throughout government documents while the rest of the world refuses to change it. And then we'll have to change it back in four years.
So does the order provide any protection to those on the western side of the state because the body of water is misnamed? That would seem to be a material barrier to getting compensation/assistance to those affected.
Exactly. But DeSantis has to keep his base down here happy, too. They didn’t particularly appreciate his run against Dear Leader.
Ugh. He’s even more whiny and creepy and pathetic as our governor than presidential candidate. Hard to believe, I know.

There are laws restricting drilling for oil in the "Gulf of Mexico".
There are no such laws re the "Gulf of America".
