Summary
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum criticized Donald Trump’s executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America.”
Sheinbaum stated that while Trump can refer to the American part of the body of water as the Gulf of America, the rest of the world will continue to refer to it as the Gulf of Mexico.
Trump signed the order on Jan. 20, 2025, following his inaugural promise, citing the Gulf’s importance to the U.S. economy. Sheinbaum emphasized Mexico’s stance on territorial integrity.
This follows Trump’s recent controversial foreign policy ideas, including proposing Canada as a U.S. state, acquiring Greenland, and considering military action to reclaim the Panama Canal.
For most Americans it’s still the Gulf of Mexico.
I live here, we just call it the Gulf Coast.
Nobody gives a flying fuck what the overgrown orange baby wants to call it.
I suppose you mean for most US citizens :P
Everyone knows what American means
Yes, but that doesn’t make it less imperialistic.
I respect President Sheinbaum. I do not respect Insurrectionist Trump. I’d rather the United Corporations of America become Mexican territory right now.
They have universal Healthcare too, so it would definitely be a win
Some of you can join Canada, some Mexico, and the rest left to rot.
Retardo Mr. T didn’t pay attention in school because his dady paid for it. Otherwise he would know the definition of a gulf (not golf), and that it doesn’t imply possession.
What, is he goanna rename NewMexico to NewAmerica? Cuz that is something he could try. Maybe California should be now called Smokyfirefornia? Cali is from “caliente” or hot. But California is not just hot, its on fire! Oh but is we must keep it Spanish… Humofuegornia. Just bringing up a few examples of more logical changes within his abuse of power.
Maybe Florida could go by “sharknadoida” or Hurricorida. Texas would an easy change to California, it’s fucking hot there. Alabama could be Notobama or just Racistama.
Just examples. I could name Mexico like Druxico. But I got no jurismydicktion there.
No, Spanish has been banned. From now on, Los Angeles shall be known as The Angels, Las Vegas as The Meadows, Florida as Blossomed, Nevada as Snowfall…
Most patriotic.
Everyone at UCSD…now they live near The Jewel. And the racists in El Cajon, you guys win! Now you live in " The Box".
National City, you keep your name, well done!
But you Chulavista…now you’re CuteView, enjoy!
And San Ysidro…now you’re Saint Ysidro unless they want a different take like Saint Javalin. That’s a manly name.
And the SantaFe station… Now is the Saint Faith station! Yey!
San Diego… Now you will go by Saint Diego… Again if that’s where Big T wants to go…maybe just “Richasscity”? Or maybe move the city so they can expand the airport? Super important airport Lindberg always blocked by high rise buildings that take away from its importance.
Remember, this loud stupid shit is meant to distract from the important shit.
I don’t respect my own nation enough anymore to care what we call locations. Nice to see other nations don’t respect our dictates either.
Has the US ever really been worth any level of respect?
Lol, settle down.
No, I mean really. Our entire history is basically just us abusing one minority group after another.
World War 2, NASA…
Personally I think things like this help let me know how much of a dumbass someone is. If I hear someone call it that, I know not to trust any information that ever comes out of their mouth again because they are an absolute dumbass.
I picture him trying to hide the word Mexico with his small hands.
or sharpie illustrations?
How long till he talks about living space in the south?
Maybe we should rename it after Donald. It could be the Gulf of Knowledge. (For my non-native English speaking audience, in this context gulf means a large lack.)
It would fit well with the 1984 route they’re taking.
Mexico, Panama, Greenland, et al might want to remember Russia’s playbook for occupying Crimea … The little green men quietly flooding in on vacation. I can see some copycat bullshit happening from the u.s.
