‘Gulf of America’ name change now official

[Moonglow]

I will still call it the Gulf of Mexico.

Drilling bans are dependent on who is in power at that time.
A new President is able to revoke previous bans.

Is Trump that stupid that he thinks he needs to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to get around a ban?

the way biden did it, that is the easiest way to overturn it. Biden played games with the ban, Trump is fixing it. And even your miserable life will be better in the next 4 years because the people of the USA rejected your candidates.

a lot of people will, so what?

ah, it will take Trump four years to make the US heaven.

 

[Redfish]

ah, it will take Trump four years to make the US heaven.

yep, 2 or 3 years, already started and moving fast. then Vance for 8 years to continue the progress,

I doubt that very seriously.

Has nothing to do with renaming the Gulf

 

[Redfish]

I doubt that very seriously.

you also doubted that Trump would win, your doubts are losers.

 

[Redfish]

Has nothing to do with renaming the Gulf

actually it does, but you are too ignorant to understand.

 

[22lcidw]

ah, it will take Trump four years to make the US heaven.

Hopefully he will improve the life of Americans by an adjusting percentage from where it is now. Living ten per cent better is a comfort for working class who struggles.

 

[rightwinger]

actually it does, but you are too ignorant to understand.

So if Trump renames Alaska, he can drill there?

Ahhh..The Gulf of America--I'm guessing he doesn't mean SOUTH America, now does he?

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.

/—-/ In New York when the Gubmint renames bridges and streets after democRAT politicians, they demand everyone accept it without question.
An example is disgraced Gov Andy Cuomo renamed the Tappan Zee Bride after his father Mario Cuomo Bridge. He squandered millions replacing all of the signs twice because the first batch didn’t have his father’s middle initial. BTW Andy approved the first signs.

Tappen Zee Bridge was completely replaced with a new span

Mario Cuomo was a great Governor who deserved the honor

Only in America. The rest of the world will still call it the Gulf of Mexico. Welcome to America Alone. Nobody is going to do what Trump tells them to do.

This is a game. If he can make the rest of the world call the Gulf, the Gulf of America, he thinks he can make us do ANYTHING he wants. It's not going to happen. We didn't elect this clown, YOU DID.

 

[cnm]

But frankly I think the Gulf of America thing is dumb but relatively harmless except for the hassle of changing the millions and millions of maps that designate it Gulf of Mexico.

Will DOGE can that idea?

I don’t think even America, outside of Conservative media, will embrace Gulf of America because Trump said so.

I don’t see schools embracing it

The government owns the bridges. We own the roads.

We don’t own the gulf.

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.

We depend on China more in this part of the world. The US takes 10% of our trade and levies tariffs and imposes quotas. China takes 30% of our trade and we have a FTA agreement with China.

The US is showing the world it is not reliable in any sector. Well, ok, the production of bullshit, given. Be that as it may, the world is taking note.

 

[Redfish]

So if Trump renames Alaska, he can drill there?

the Biden EO did not include Alaska, ANWR is open for drilling, and for the record ANWR compared to the state of Alaska is like a postage stamp to a football field, it is a very small area, but has millions of gallons of crude.

The US is showing the world that it will no longer be taken advantage of, that, my ignorant little friend, is a good thing for the USA
