Trump wants to rename "Gulf of Mexico" to "Gulf of America."

China is drilling for oil in the Gulf

 

Gulf of Flora-Bama. Plus it is was a great bar when I was last there in the mid 90's.

 

Texas will be pissed if it is named for another state.

 

Difficult to know whether he's looking for attention, flooding the zone with BS with a specific end game in mind, or something else. Most of what he can do through EOs at least can just be undone later. Also, the more time he spends saying crazy things is time that he could have spent on more substantive issues.

 

Although it goes back over a century naming US military bases in the South after Confederate generals would the equivalent of naming an army base in Upstate New York Ft. Benedict Arnold.

 

The Confederacy is part of our History- not all our history is good but it is still our history

 

so are multiple other international firms
us firms are drilling for oil around the world
what does that matter?

 

How about Gulf of the America’s since those are the countries that are around it.

 

I'm going with random buzzed thoughts for $1000

 

or "The Gulf Between Us" to symboloze how divided we are.

Trump needs to get his card, down a few gummies, and chill. Imagine what he would say stoned.

“Dude, I’m coolest of all cools”. More coolest than you so dude ahh,,, what were we talking about,,,, yea dude I’m cool.

 

A humorous X post…..”maybe he will rename New Mexico to New America”

Dear Leader also discussed how electric heat makes you itch. his press conferences would be funny in a nutty way……..if he wasn’t our POTUS

 

The civil war battlefields and cemeteries are the history.

Many of these monuments and honorary naming were done decades later, in some cases in direct response to civil rights so not even truly having to do with the civil war but more as a thinly veiled racial intimidation (esp the ones put up in “town squares” around the south). They are false monuments.

There is truly no reason for a U.S. military base to be named after a confederate. It’s quite mad. Fundamentally wouldn’t be much different from Germany naming bases after particular Nazi generals who scored battlefield victories… a thing I assume they do not do.

 

Although it's part of our history and it should be recognized that still does not mean that men who led a rebellion against the government of the United States deserve to be honored.

 

Could be trying to steal headlines back from Jimmy Carter’s corpse?

 

And he wants to rename Greenland Mar a Igloo.

 

The President-Elect could avoid a lot of grief if he would just run his ideas by me first.

 

Although I think changing the gulf's name is a dumb idea, you make a very good point.
