Where did this gulf of America thing come from anyway. It just seems so left field. Was it a hot topic among the MAGA or something?
It just seems like he woke up one day and had an idea ๐ก
Someone was saying they want to rename it to work around the laws preventing drilling in the Gulf. It sounds really stupid, but that is on par for this shit show of an administration.
So call Greenland Northwestern US and bingo! you can drill? Is that really a thought process in those heads?
Call it Alaskb !
Why would the name have any bearing on the laws that govern what can, and can't be done there?
This is so freaking dumb I can't even.
They're on this stupid renaming kick. Renaming all the "woke" names back to the "original" white slavers and racists these places originally honored. There are few enough brain cells and energy in government and this is what Trump is making them waste it on. Gulf of THE AmericaS would make sense but obviously the intent is to claim it as the US's.
You know what, sure whatever. It burns their political capital and it doesn't actively oppress people
