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

Prepare for the onslaught of those accusing you of being a “NEVER TRUMPER”!!! (usually in caps and with a LOT of venom).

It is but it is a psychological thing intended to cause a furor among the cancel culture base of the Democratic party.
It will send enough of them into a snit that their congressmen will get a pile of complaints to field, and some Dems will be forced into standing up for the old name, which keeps them from wrapping themselves in the US flag like they did with J6.

It pushes them off message.

Dems used to do something similar by jacking around with the Pledge of Allegiance, to enrage the old school Republicans, and get the furor to derail the GOP from using airtime to discuss important matters.

One of Biden’s last acts was an offshore drilling ban. Trump’s first fight is to undo it.

“Biden used his powers under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to ban offshore drilling not only in the Eastern Gulf of Mexico, but also along the entire Atlantic Coast and the Pacific coasts of California, Oregon and Washington. The protections even extended to part of Alaska’s Bering Sea.”

“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?

“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.

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

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.
