This channel is going to be so busy the next 4 years. Oof.

Fucking THEATER

Damn. Boomer politicians scraping the bottom of the barrel so hard now we're stealing from China's playbook? "It's not Cuba, it's American Taipei."

But Mexico has 63 more miles of coastline on the Gulf than the USA does. We should just leave it alone.

Wouldn't surprise me if this was inspired to circumvent the new ban on oil drilling Biden just enacted. "We're drilling in the Gulf of America, not the Gulf of Mexico."

Actual, literal toddlers are really taking over the US, aren't they?

Let's not forget, conservatives, CEOs and all that bunch operate with methods of a parlor magician. The louder they jingle the keys in one hand, the more we should be paying attention to what they are doing with the other.

President Musk will be livid that his suggestion to call it 'Gulf of X' was shot down.

Invade Mexico, invade greenland, rename the gulf..... hello... he's bonkers, what the fuck are we doing letting this shit back in power....

Can we pleast waste the next 4 years renaming things and get nothing practical done? That sounds like perfectly good mud to spin the tires in.

Hey look, another 4 years of Republicans not doing anything of value for the American people.

Meanwhile, Democrats just banned medical debt from showing up on credit reports.

The differences between parties couldn't be more obvious and Americans were still stupid enough to elect the do-nothing party. That's how I know this country is barreling down a path to collapse. It's not Trump. It's not even Republicans. It's braindead stupid Americans.

The reason Trump is doing this is so that we are not focusing on the rift in the party over H1B visas.

Where the fuck are the Democrats hitting the issue while it's hot with 3 interviews a day agreeing with the average Republican over Trump and Musk?

What an utter fucking buffoon. This man shouldn't be trusted to use a fork without protective eyewear let alone run a god damn country.

Mexican here. This is happening as much as "the wall" happened. Don't let him distract you from the H1B issue.

To everyone here.

I know most of you are fed up, exhausted and disgusted. The key is to never give up and roll over. Once you do this the idiots will have won and we we'll be permanently screwed. We had already gone through four years of Trump's Idiocracy. Four more years sucks but you need to keep fighting the good fight. We can get through this!

Why not Gulf Of Trump? Gulf of MAGA? Gulf of Sharpie?

Idiot.

EDIT: And yes, he's just trying to distract from his court cases... again.

Yeah, good luck convincing the rest of the world to change to fit your wants.

Rational National pointed out that the 'Gulf of America' name was actually a joke Colbert made back in 2010 when he was still doing the Colbert Report.

Roughly 2 minutes into this video:

Old article about MSFT donating to Colbert's 'Gulf of America' charity aimed at cleaning up / mitigating oil spills from rigs that broke after Katrina:

We live in the Demented Clowns timeline, honk honk.

Wait until he hears about Mexico not being named America either!

Besides the absurdity of this, who gets to decide the name of a geographical feature?

If this were to actually happen wouldn’t it mean literally nothing? Like maybe officially in the USA it would be referred to by its new name but why would other countries follow? And I get that that the USA does a lot in the Gulf, but from my [very basic] understanding most of it is international waters.

Could legislation be proposed to rename the Atlantic Ocean? And if so wouldn’t that just end up with the USA following strange semantics other countries don’t?

Fine. I’m calling it Gulf of the Americas and reminding everyone that the Americas are the continents, not the country.
A visionary and inclusive move!

This is the first step to annex another region.

1. Historical Claim
2. Support separatist or militia in these region
3. Fabricate or Encourage attack on the border
4. Impose light economical sanctions
5. People in such country will get fed up and will increase clashes with the government.
6. Government start anti-usa imperialism and start military campaign against them.
7. USA say they are committing genocide or something and question their sovereignty
8. USA announce special operation to restore peace

Cycle continue ….

We saw this in Lebanon, Libya, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Ukraine and many other countries that the USA has admitted funding different group inside them to destabilize them. But now it seems trump plan or asked to do the same with both Mexico and canada.

They can justify it with Mexico because of drugs and immigrants, but it is harder for Canada. They US news tried to blame canada for “terrorist” and “illegal immigrants” but it seems they are following the same stories with Mexico.

President Freedom Fries can call it whatever the fuck he wants. That doesn't make it internationally recognized.

Politics aside, “Gulf of Mexico” sounds way cooler. Easier and more fun to say, too.

Holy Lilith it's gonna be so awkward when the Europeans have to make invasion plans together with the Chinese because Trump is Blitzkrieg-ing through America.

But then they bitch about China and their wrongdoings in the South China Sea

why is the media giving this idiot the time of day. no it's not called the "gulf of america" and no congress can't do squat about it. it's a stupid distraction from an idiot.

Just like the fucking Nazis and Communists changing names of cities, roads, etc.. to suit their fucked up agenda. Chemnitz was once Karl-Marx-Stadt and the fucked up Nazis changed many Slavic city and town names along the Polish border before the outbreak of WW II.

This will go over about as well as the Sacagawea dollar coin, and the coin had the advantage of actually being a good idea.

Working on the important stuff first I see! While we're at it, why did we slip back into calling them French fries. We need to throw some serious money at this problem - I'm talkin' make the libs complain we could have ended homelessness money at changing the damn name of fried fucking potatoes!! Yeah, hand me my mountain dew hat! We're dewin this! Murica! Hellz yah!

Delusional LMAO.

Ahh the important things that will improve all American lives

This is not good obviously, but it's also very US-centric to think that name Gulf of America indicates it belongs to the US. In an alternate timeline it would totally make sense to have a gulf between two Americas called the Gulf of America or even the American Sea. But the US has effectively hijacked the name America

I feel like it's not great to say "Congress is already prepping" instead of "Marjorie Taylor Greene is prepping legistlation"

2016-2020 : President of Alternate Facts 2025-2029: President of Alternate Reality

America isn't even the countries name, it's "The United States OF America" with North America being the continent it's on.

The Onion is running out of material

How about New Mexico state?

More meaningless culture war bullshit.

Fine, then we gotta spend the money to care for the natural life there as if it were ours.

Oh you don't want to spend the money? Figures, you cheapskate "conservatives".

I guess "Bumpkin Bay" is a little too on the nose.

Or maybe "Gulf Of Florida Man."

Freedom fries all over again

I hope he doesn't hear about the Gulf of California. He is not going to understand that the Californias were Mexican and, thus, the Gulf is still named after the fact. He's going to claim some wacky s*it like "the name indicates it belongs to one of our states", "Mexicans are trying to steal California's assets", or something like that.

The 2025 season of the "USA" reality show will be awesome! 😎🍿

so glad the new government is focussing on this woke nonsense and not things that matter to ordinary people

In other news, the moon will be called Lunar America and the Pacific Ocean is now known as the Sea of Freedom.

Wait till he 'rebrands' to

Ameristan

or maybe

Trumpmania

Ah, focusing on the importance issues concerning Americans, truly making us great again!

The media now see's it's job as shutting up and taking the bait, i see

And I declare the US to be "South Canada"

I say USA will now be called ‘Bunch of Dumb Fuck Heads’ My mom already approved it.

whew! I'm glad we solved all the REAL problems so now we can focus on this shit!

Trump knows what he’s doing, I feel his goal is to say more eye catching things to drive peoples focus away from other ongoing things.

The symbolism is on top of the "warmongering on allies" rhetoric, that could, in this case, push for a war on Mexico or takeover of its territorial rights to oil extraction in the Gulf. The lust over Greenland is its strategic role in attacking/defending Europe. The resources there are very expensive to extract due to infrastructure needs. The Panama canal is to stop Chinese trade/influence, but usual US policy is threats/coups instead of offering market prices. Panama canal fees are high due to droughts related to global warming which Trump wants to increase beyond reparability.

I mean, I guess each country has the right to make up their own names if they want to…

I wonder how long it will be before the white house issues a 9 dash line Trump has hastily marked up with a red permanent marker.

Muskland sewers

Worse than doing nothing, useless garbage. How is their impeachment of Biden going? Did Comer and Jordan resign yet for falling for a spy's testimony as their smoking gun evidence?
