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.

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

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.

Guarantee the house and senate are going to be full of this kind of shit to the exclusion of anything even remotely useful

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.

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

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.

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?

Which America? South America? North America? How can it be the gulf of the entire continent?

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

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!

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

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.

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.

It's Freedom Fries & W ketchup all over again...

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.

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

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!

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.
