BREAKING: Google Maps to update 'Gulf of Mexico' to ‘Gulf of America’ after Trump order - Fox
It’s only been a week but so much winning
To be geographically correct about it, it should have been “Gulf of the Americas” all along.
Why would google care what any President says?
Especially something as utterly ridiculous as this.
When is this supposed to happen?
Last week, President Donald Trump signed executive actions that included an order to make the name changes on official maps and federal communications.
“We’ve received a few questions about naming within Google Maps,” the company said in an X post. “We have a longstanding practice of applying name changes when they have been updated in official government sources.”

Astonishing.
Funny thing is New Mexico is an older name than that of the country to its immediate South. New Mexico is named after the valley of Mexico, as is Mexico. But when New Mexico was named, Mexico was still called, “New Spain.”
Rename Mexico to ‘Not America’
The Babylon Bee said it should be called West Texas. https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4289010/posts
Español?
It will always be Mt. McKinley, Saigon, Burma, and the Gulf of Mexico to me.
Oh, and Pluto is the ninth planet, too.
Yours Truly,
Stubborn Old Fart
Trump continues to P*ss Off all the Right and Left people and I love it.
Thank you President Trump. I am thoroughly Entertained.🇺🇸👍
But “Americas” means both North and South America.
As much as I back President Trump, I think this is a dumb recommendation.
You mean like New England? And all the cities across America named after British cities.
What do you think is dumb about it?
No, North, South, and Central, wich is just what happens to make it a Gulf, which is why I stated "geographically."
Got it now?
Don’t forget Peking ;-)
