    I’m embarrassed for those that parrot his rhetoric. It’s like he’s ordering you to intellectually pull your pants down in public.

    We still use inches, feet, and yards. Cups, pints, quarts, and gallons. Miles instead of kilometers.

    We can call the damn gulf whatever the hell we want.

    Somewhere, you know some Trump croney already has a warehouse full of globes that say "Gulf of America" on them and he's going to sell them to the Oklahoma school districts for millions.

    Apparently we are annexing Mexico and Canada. Immigration problem solved.

    Who is on Invasion force T and are you heading to Greenland or Panama?

    Side comment, man Trump looked pissed going into that presser.

    i actually love the idea. We can also change China’s name to Loserville and Russia to Daddyland. Perfect.

    Stephen Colbert referred to it as the Gulf of America after the BP oil spill to support fundraising efforts for the affected states.

    ‘We broke it, we buy it.’

    Interesting the irony. Colbert was doing it as satire making fun of repubs and now Trump wants to do it.

    Do you get some of those Trump sneakers, or a Trump bible with one of those globes?

    well, a 540 mile wall on Mexico’s southern border is at least more feasible. Bonus that Mexico would pay for it.

    Gulf of Merica makes the most sense. Literally just a change of 2 letters

    The border with Guatemala will be much shorter and easier to defend. It'll be a great opportunity to show there's no limit to what we can't do.

    …and it’s almost like his cult members will believe whatever they can to avoid the reality that they’ve elected a lunatic despot who has no care for their interests.

    If nothing else, I have pure, unbridled comedic entertainment (likely mostly unintended), for the next 4 years. I get to just sit and watch and eat my popcorn …
