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.
doesn't even break the top-10 of stupidest shit to come out of his mouth this week.
Stop paying attention to the stupid shit they're saying to distract from the evil shit they're gonna be doing.
I'm not going to be paying attention to any of it. Fascism 101. But the fascist scum have apparently "won" so here we are.
America is a write-off. Let the filth destroy it.
Like Twitter I'll misname it out of disrespect.
Half of me wants to start keeping a personal tally of all the bullshit that comes out of this embarrassment while the other half just wants to cancel my internet to avoid the emotional trauma.
Why is he thinking so small? Why not rename the Pacific Ocean to American Ocean? China and Japan have seas and India has an Ocean.
The American Ocean is a lot of things, but pacific isn't one of them
The Atlantic Ocean belongs to Atlanta. To make it sound more like how it's pronounced by the locals, we'll rename it the A-lan-nic Ocean.
I'm only surprised he didn't demand it be called the Gulf of Trump.
"Trump's gulf hurricane wipes out south"
The gulf of trump is the empty space between his ears.
Trump Toilet Bowl
You're not wrong... especially since he feels the need to plaster his name on everything. But don't give him ideas....
On that note, can we collectively change "trump card" to being a bad thing?
One wonders how upset he'll be when he learns that Mexico is in America. North America, even.
Sure. Its all a fucking joke, now.
Seems like it's time for a name change of the USA in Spanish.
Deadnaming geography, so hot right now.
¡Los Estados Unidos!
La tierra del hombre naranja
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea
We're listing names that are intentionally deceptive right?
Everybody else in the world still gonna call it Gulf of Mexico
No, we won't. That's stupid.
We won't. That's true enough. For tradition alone we won't; Just like we don't change to the metric system.
But it's not exactly stupid. There are several countries and two continents that surround The Gulf. It's not unreasonable to name it after both the continents that make it. I'm not even sure how it became named after just a single country anyway.
Really it's just another stupid fucking distraction that shouldn't get any attention from any of us.
Let me tell you about the Persian gulf and the South China Sea.
When the gulf was named by European explorers in the 1580s, Mexico (as a region colonized by Spain) was the most important thing in the main land. Some Spanish maps from the same time period also called it Gulf of New Spain.
But it's not exactly stupid. There are several countries and two continents that surround The Gulf. It's not unreasonable to name it after both the continents that make it.
Not quite, the gulf is entirely contained within North America and borders the US, Mexico, and Cuba.
Once you go around the Yucatan Peninsula, you're no longer in the gulf, you're in the Yucatan Channel and then the Yucatan Basin portion of the Caribbean Sea.
But you're right in that it's not exactly stupid, just eyeballing it, it looks like the US has more square miles on the gulf than Mexico does.
Freedumb Fries anyone?
Gulf of Freedom
I already call him "ahahahahahah", and it's ok, people understand immediately
Let me guess, he posted that to twitter?
See how that works?
If you read literally the first sentence of the article you would not need to guess.
Tell me you don't get it without telling me you don't get it.
