Donald Trump Says Gulf of Mexico Will Now Be Called 'Gulf of America.' Congress Is Already Prepping Legislation
During a press conference on Tuesday, Jan. 7, the 78-year-old president-elect shared his plan for renaming the Gulf of Mexico. “We’re going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America,” Trump told reporters.
This channel is going to be so busy the next 4 years. Oof.
Should just change the name to 'Muricas an Onion
Fucking THEATER
Hey, tbh, I'm fine with him focusing on things like this and trying to buy Greenland. It's much rather he spend his time on theater than on actually hurting people
Damn. Boomer politicians scraping the bottom of the barrel so hard now we're stealing from China's playbook? "It's not Cuba, it's American Taipei."
Yeah, good luck convincing the rest of the world to change to fit your wants.
The name change will go over worse than the Twitter renaming.
Or when they tried to change the name of French fries.
But Mexico has 63 more miles of coastline on the Gulf than the USA does. We should just leave it alone.
Wouldn't surprise me if this was inspired to circumvent the new ban on oil drilling Biden just enacted. "We're drilling in the Gulf of America, not the Gulf of Mexico."
The US doesn't have exclusive rights to "America" as a name. In fact strictly speaking "Gulf of America" is not a bad name since it is the largest gulf in the Americas AFAIK.
This is, of course, not why Trump is doing this.
Then maybe “Gulf of the Americas” would be more appropriate.
True, they'll probably call it Gulf of 'MURICA!
The US doesn't have exclusive rights to "America" as a name.
Agreed. Let's also change our demonym to Unitedstatian.
Canada has more land mass than the US does. Perhaps Trump should be talking about integrating the US into Canada (and doing away with the now-redundant US Presidential position).
Why not Gulf Of Trump? Gulf of MAGA? Gulf of Sharpie?
Idiot.
EDIT: And yes, he's just trying to distract from his court cases... again.
Moderates who "voted for the economy" right now: 🤡
Delusional LMAO.
This will go over about as well as the Sacagawea dollar coin, and the coin had the advantage of actually being a good idea.
And French Fries are now Freedom Fries /s
20 some years ago when that happened, I remember saying "What? That's stupid....". I was a teenager at the time. I was yelled at by adults saying "NO! IT'S NOT STUPID!!! WE'RE AMERICANS!!! FREEDOM FRIES ARE AN AMERICAN FOOD!!! WE GROW POTATOES IN IDAHO!!! NOT PARIS!!!!"
Today, I'm 41. Teenager me wasn't immature. Well, ok, I was, on a lot of things. But NOT on this. 41 year old me looks back and says teenager me was right.
This IS stupid.
French fries then, french fries now.
I use the term "freedom units" whether someone tells me that they're 6 shoes and 2 toenails tall instead of using metric.
How about New Mexico state?
Trump tomorrow: "we're renaming the state of New Mexico to the state of New Murica!"
Mexico is formally named Estados Unidos Mexicanos, meaning Unites States of Mexico. How about renaming that to Unites States of America
America isn't even the countries name, it's "The United States OF America" with North America being the continent it's on.
Unitedstatesian Gulf
Working on the important stuff first I see! While we're at it, why did we slip back into calling them French fries. We need to throw some serious money at this problem - I'm talkin' make the libs complain we could have ended homelessness money at changing the damn name of fried fucking potatoes!! Yeah, hand me my mountain dew hat! We're dewin this! Murica! Hellz yah!
I guess "Bumpkin Bay" is a little too on the nose.
Or maybe "Gulf Of Florida Man."
He's NOT too Old to be President!
I really hope he just dies. And not from a shooter. I don't want his base to have him as a martyr. I want him to have a clogged artery, or a heart attack, and just his body gives out. With his lifestyle, and his eating habits, it wouldn't be too hard to imagine. I mean, he LOVES McDonalds! He can't even eat it when it's hot out of the restaurant. He has to send someone to go get it. Which means he's eating these fries cold, and the sandwiches are luke warm at BEST.
Which really goes to help explain how/why he served that basketball team plates and plates of hours cold McDonalds. THAT'S WHAT HE'S USED TO!!! THAT'S WHAT HE THINKS IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE!!!
Meanwhile, I'm 20-30 years younger, was raised on fast food, and now I can't even eat beef because it gave me cancer. I'm doing my best to try to avoid the foods I'm NOT supposed to have, but that's what I was raised on. That's what I love. I'm also a former alcoholic who gave up drinking. Cold turkey. Imagine one day having to upend your entire palate, and eat only foods you don't like. But I'm doing it. I know it's what my body needs.
Meanwhile this guy is out here literally greasy with junk food, probably 100lbs heavier than I am, 20-30 years older than I am, and he's just hoppin around just fine! While I had to spend almost a year of my life hooked up to radioactive bags to pump cancer drugs into me for days at a time, making me so weak at the time that some days I couldn't even get out of bed.
AND THE GOVERNMENT SAID CANCER IS NOT A DISABILITY!!!
I hate this fat fuck for so many reasons. Many of which are probably shared by the vast majority of you here. But on a personal level I hate him for being the living embodiment of how NOT to take care of yourself, and he's facing no consequences for it. I want the consequences. I want him to have to stop his lifestyle. If I can't even cook my own 90% lean cheeseburgers, I damn sure want him to suffer not being able to eat fast food anymore.
Because everyday he doesn't, it's like saying to me "YOU can't have the foods you love, because it'll make your body sick. However, THIS GUY, who's an irredeemable piece of shit can go ahead and do much much worse with zero consequences, because fuck you."
So yeah. I want him to stuff his piggy little face, and just fall to the floor clutching his chest. I don't want a shooter. I don't want some agent of another government bombing him. I want his death to be his OWN doing. I want him for once in his god damn life to have to answer to consequences of his own actions. I've had to do it for years now. I don't even recognize myself anymore based on my own habits now. Eating honey nut cherrios in the morning? What the fuck? What happened to a bacon double cheeseburger and a bottle of whiskey?
Oh, right. The consequences of my own actions treating my body like shit.
So.....where's his??? He's been treating his body like shit for twice as long as I have. Where's his consequence moment???
In other news, the moon will be called Lunar America and the Pacific Ocean is now known as the Sea of Freedom.
so glad the new government is focussing on this woke nonsense and not things that matter to ordinary people
Fine, then we gotta spend the money to care for the natural life there as if it were ours.
Oh you don't want to spend the money? Figures, you cheapskate "conservatives".
