The Trump administration has indefinitely banned the Associated Press from the White House over the wire service's refusal to change AP style from the Gulf of Mexico to the 'Gulf of America.'

Shazzzaaaaammmmm!!!!
Take that, Associated Propaganda!
The Gulf Formerly Known As The Gulf of Mexico.
That would be MOST appropriate!

Actually it should stay Denali. That was the original, native name
No one is dying. It’s a spat between the President of the United States and a journalist from a third rate, decaying news agency.

The “third rate” agency has a style book that is used by Mockingbird “journalists” to spread left wing propaganda all over the planet.

I so much enjoy watching the WH face plant these arrogant ijits.

They’ll need to work on the lyrics to “Mighty Mississippi.”
At one time Mexico owned Texas. Until 1803, the US had no land on the body of water.
I love it when the news media gets it’s panties in a wad over such minor things as Gulf of Mexico or Gulf of America. Denali or Mt McKinley.
And not a damn was given.
