like he renamed a bunch of landmarks back to their old forgotten white guy names to spite indigenous people but i'm not entirely convinced he knows he's doing that with the gulf of mexico, i think he just assumes it was named after the country of mexico
.......I MEAN, it literally got its name during the Colonial Period of México so, in a way, yeah, it's named after well....México, for maritime historical reasons....and that name is ours, not some deranged orange's lol.
i meant more like his motivation behind it. i don't think he knows that it's an Aztec-derived name whereas renaming denali back to mt. mckinley is probably an intentional jab at indigenous people (i'm making a lot of assumptions about what are things he probably doesn't know/think about)
