Well, if it walks like a duck...

I like Trump but......

Sure, you bet slick.

This is nothing but the butt hurt AP and their leftist buddies putting this forward as the reason. The press secretary shut this down today when asked, but of course the conspiracy theory media must play their game. Any wonder the media no longer has any credibility.

You better check my history of posts before you make baseless assumptions.

Still Gulf of Mexico to me.

[RainMan]

Exactly why I thought he did it.

[DouglasKC]

Agreed. Look at the countless news sources who didn't have access to the WH for decades. The AP hates no longer being one of the privileged few. Besides, there are plenty of legacy media sources still in the WH briefing room who are part of the AP. So it's not like the AP doesn't have someone in there.

It's not even that! AP was not kicked out of the Press room. They were there during her briefing. They were just not given the opportunity to go into the Oval Office and question the President or Musk.

Thanks for linkifying it!

The name change invalidates a drilling ban the rats pushed through. There is a reason for everything Trump does.

That’s great! Otherwise, it was something I couldn’t have cared less about. Now I do!

[AnotherUnixGeek]

I have no idea why anyone would object to this name change. “America” can cover all of North America and Central America if needed.

[Mr. K]

It is dumb.

And so it exposes the media’s dumbitudiousness. (<~~ I just made up that word)

[cuz1961]

. That didn’t sit well with the Associated Press

Ya think your history depicts pro-Trump comments? If you said you wrote in Zelenskyy instead of Trump, I’d believe you.

C’mon.

[higgmeister]

You were probably jealous about Remus too.

“the ‘Gulf of America’ thing is stupid.”

It’s actually much more accurate, as the Gulf is surrounded by the USA and Mexico, both of which are in North AMERICA. It makes MUCH more sense.

Plus, it COULD be a back door, Clinton-speak, method to (maybe) help PDJT un-do some Biden damage.

[dragnet2]

I like Trump but the “Gulf of America” thing is stupid.

I think your comment is stupid and the reality is, you don't like the man. Too bad for you.

Rio Grande on one side
Rio Bravo on the other side.

So what?

[Fai Mao]

Is it the Sea of Japan or The North China Sea?
Is it the Persian Gulf or Arabian Sea?

Lots of places have different names depending on nationality

It took me a while to figure out President Trump in the early days—but once I accepted that he really was smarter than I am everything started to make sense.
