‘Gulf of America’ name change now official

[rightwinger]

Transition to Gulf of America will take some patience

When Elon Musk changed Twtter to X we spent years saying
“X formerly known as Twitter”

We will now have to say…….”The Gulf of America formerly known as The Gulf of Mexico”

 

[Oddball]

Lets just call it The Golf of TRUMP

I'd have to get my SCUBA gear out of storage to dive in the resulting salty shitlib tears.

 

[scruffy]

It's just head games

But now we get American shrimp instead of Mexican shrimp.

And just in time for American blue crab season!

 

[Winco]

There's bigger fish to fry rather than naming a gulf.

Not to a petulant child like trump.

This renaming the Gulf is the lamest trump adventure to date.
Unfortunately trump will outdo this blunder when he tries to rename something with the word "Trump"

Oh, it's coming.

Down here we call it gulf shrimp and I imagine we always will.

You won't get American shrimp after 12 nautical miles out.

“Gulf of America” will join the dustbin of history along with “Freedom Fries”

[BackAgain]

We endured 4 years of Potato embarrassing us.

And our shittiest shitlibs are now pretending to worry about how we look in the eyes of the world?

I don’t know. Initially I thought that Gulf of America was just a tweak against Mexico. But, now? It is growing on me.

The GULF OF AMERICA.

Kind of catchy.

I said this during the Biden-Harris Administration when they provided many embarrassing moments for the world to see: I don’t care what the World thinks of US. They depend on US.

Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it isn’t so.

The Gulf of America has a terrific ring to it.

The Trump administration's Interior Department said on Friday it had officially changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, and the Alaskan peak Denali to Mount McKinley.
U.S. President Donald Trump ordered the name changes as part of a flurry of executive actions hours after taking office on Monday, making good on a campaign promise.
"As directed by the President, the Gulf of Mexico will now officially be known as the Gulf of America and North America's highest peak will once again bear the name Mount McKinley," the Interior Department said in a statement.

Alaska's towering peak had been called Mount McKinley before, in honor of former U.S. President William McKinley, but was renamed Denali - meaning 'tall' in the Koyukon Indigenous language - in 1975 at the state's request.
"These changes reaffirm the Nation's commitment to preserving the extraordinary heritage of the United States and ensuring that future generations of Americans celebrate the legacy of its heroes and historic assets," the department said.

In his inaugural address on Monday, Trump said McKinley, a Republican who was president from 1897 to 1901, "made our country very rich through tariffs and through talent - he was a natural businessman." McKinley was head of the U.S. in an expansionist era, gaining Hawaii, Guam, and Puerto Rico as territories. Hawaii later became a U.S. state.
While Trump can direct the U.S. Geological Survey to change how it denotes the Gulf of Mexico, such a name change would be unlikely to be recognized internationally.

Mexico, which like the U.S. has a long coastline circling the body of water, has said the Gulf of Mexico name is internationally recognized and has been used as a maritime navigational reference going back hundreds of years.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum earlier this month jokingly suggested North America, including the United States, be renamed "Mexican America" - an historic name used on an early map of the region.

That's part of the point. The Gulf is for the North America, Central America, and South America. America is actually a more realistic term to use.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Huh?

Mt McKinley was renamed 'Denali' in 1975?

I don't remember that at all, I thought it didn't happen until Obama changed it?
