The Gulf isn’t TigerDroppings, it can get a name change.

North America and South America both surround it. The fact people think it should only be named after Mexico is actually laughable.

False. Mexico was named after the Aztec people, same for the gulf.

So what?


You can change it back with a new president that wants to run on that issue.

We became great again on 1/20/2025.

Claiming the waters of the Gulf of America was just part of that greatness.

I suspect you spent more energy/ thought on typing this out than our president did.

It probably took him .001 second to determine the best course of action and moved on to other important things.

Maybe he should rename names of national parks and stuff to their English translation.

We can continue with Grand Tetons.

That's a side benefit of Trump's choices. Flushes the chumps out of hiding and forces them into an unpopular stance.

Trump moves the Overton Window like nobody's business. I can easily imagine these all being the case in 4 years:

1. Greenland and the US have some sort of compact. Might not be a State but doesn't have to be to accomplish his stated aims.
2. Panama and the canal no longer collaborating with China.
3. Gulf of America being used (might be suffixed with formerly known as the Gulf of Mexico)
4. The idea of a 2 state Israel-Gaza no longer discussed as possible.
5. I don't expect Canada will be a state or territory but their govt will have to pay a lot more attention to their Western territories that align with US interests.
6. Russia-Ukraine war halted. Russia will turn its attention towards home.

It’s sea level has risen since 1/20 due to liberal tears.

Flew American from Miami back to ATL and pilot called it the gulf of America.

Expanding US dominion over the World. We are the Number 1 Super Power for a reason. Hell, just be glad he didnt want to rename the Atlantic to the American Ocean

Since I was a kid I’ve always wondered why it was the Gulf of Mexico. We have just as much coastline as Mexico.

The way Trump thinks big - he'd probably go for the East American Ocean for the Atlantic and the West American Ocean for the Pacific. :)

Agree

In light of what's come to light about MLK, it's definitely appropriate to rename all of the streets and boulevards throughout the country to something else.

It’s to test whether you will comply with an irrational edict. If you comply, Trump controls you.

Hoping the least thing he has the dept of education do is to mandate that in every town in America at least one school has to be named after Trump.

It would be a great reminder to our kids every day that they live in the greatest country in the world and that if they work hard they too can be exceptional like Trump.
