Yeah, right! I disagree with one thing therefore I do not like him. Trump is a great president—one of the greatest—but he is not God. 100% agreement is not a litmus test of support.

It would seem that you think so if disagreeing with him on anything makes someone a Trump opponent.

I see, so based on this short exchange you now claim it seems I think Trump is God. Good grief...

What a poser you are!

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

Please, tell us why?

Because Gulf of Mexico is a long standing and universally recognized name. It does imply Mexican ownership and there was no need to change it. Changing its name only makes us look petty.

Now ban all news orgs who refuse to say PRESIDENT Trump.

So many of those dirtbags refer to him only as Trump while they fellate ‘President Biden’, ‘Former President Clinton’ and ‘Former President Obama’.

So what? There is a new boss in town and millions of Americans love the change. It's not stupid as you stated.

And the only reason you stated that is you don't like Trump. We both know that. And the overall majority of those who do not like it, are American hating leftist, Communist and assorted posers.

Looks like you're in good company Petros...

Disagree. AP has had a stranglehold on propaganda for decades. The Gulf doesn’t belong to just Mexico.

It was a good move and good for North, Central, and South America

I think the last four years and maybe more than that going back to Bush the elder has been a gradual assault on the culture.

To think there would not be a cultural counter assault is naive.

I certainly agree about the obvious assault on the culture, but I’m not sure how renaming the gulf is a counter strike. I lived within a few miles of the gulf for 47 years and never gave its old name a second thought, and the new name doesn’t make me feel any better about the decades-long cultural assault. However, if it negates a leftard ban on drilling there, the change was well worth doing.

It is petty and stupid for the AP to not change their stylebook.

ban offshore drilling not only in the Eastern Gulf of Mexico”

If it’s the gulf of “America” doesn’t that circumvent bidens ban on drilling in the gulf?


They only had muskets at the time the Second Amendment was ratified, so that's all it applies to, right?
