Executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America

You're joking, surely.

It’s one of the EO signed today, see whitehouse.gov/news for the list.

It actually makes sense in that, with a quick look at a map, the US coastline is longer than Mexico’s !

You’re not keeping up. Trump has mentioned this several times in the past month and it was in his inauguration speech, as well as, renaming Mt. Denali back to its original Mt. McKinley.

Trump has also mentioned renaming Ft Liberty back to its original Ft. Bragg in NC.

“You’re joking, surely.”

Israel calls it the Gulf of Eilat. The Arab world calls it the Gulf of Aqaba. This isn’t precedent.

A Freeper made a very profound point regarding this yesterday.

Biden had put a drilling ban on the “Gulf of Mexico”…

-but NOT on the “Gulf of America”..
