return2ozmaDonald Trump Says Gulf of Mexico Will Now Be Called 'Gulf of America.' Congress Is Already Prepping Legislation
This channel is going to be so busy the next 4 years. Oof.
ug02xShould just change the name to 'Muricas an Onion
Isn’t the entire idea that the Gulf of Mexico is more descriptive than the gulf of America? Mexico only has one large gulf, and from a US perspective the gulf is in the direction of Mexico. The Americas have several «gulfs» so gulf of America makes no sense. Maybe Gulf of the USA? But again in terms of a description that makes far less sense.
I’m not sure Trump even knows there’s an area called “the Americas.”
Delusional LMAO.
ShellMonkeyYeah, good luck convincing the rest of the world to change to fit your wants.
The name change will go over worse than the Twitter renaming.
Or when they tried to change the name of French fries.
Fucking THEATER
Hey, tbh, I’m fine with him focusing on things like this and trying to buy Greenland. It’s much rather he spend his time on theater than on actually hurting people
1024_KibibytesHe’s trying to get things like this and Greenland in the headlines so that he can do the actually harmful things without too much notice.
No, he has no idea what the real agenda is. He actually thinks this bullshit matters. That’s exactly why he was installed in the position of president.
The guy is like, literally borderline retarded. Quit giving that asshole credit.
You are both right. Trump is the distraction and incapable of working on an agenda. He needs the people in the background. But he is capable of understanding what he is doing. And he likes it.
He doesn’t need to know, he just has to be useful to those who do know.
And when we post and upvote this shit instead of the harmful shit then we are playing into their hand.
This is a distraction
[deleted] in lemmyThis is what Trump does day to day, spouting random made up shit on a whim. My guess is that it was ad libbed and there is no legislation, the whole renaming thing is probably news to his speech writer/diaper changer/whatever they call the person that tries to get him to talk about something specific.
The horrible shit is orchestrated by all the malicious fucks around him who can focus on one topic for more than 5 minutes.
Love how these commenters are all offended by a thing that will never get off the ground, or be heard again.
Y’all were around for the first time, right?
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.”
They built a wall too.
Why not Gulf Of Trump? Gulf of MAGA? Gulf of Sharpie?
Idiot.
Gulf of Donvict Distraction
Gulf of Butt Sharpies!
QubaXRHow about New Mexico state?
ThePowerOfGeekTrump tomorrow: “were transferring the states of New Mexico to the state of New Murica!”
Mexico is formally named Estados Unidos Mexicanos, meaning Unites States of Mexico. How about renaming that to Unites States of America
Mexico is formally named Estados Unidos Mexicanos, meaning Unites States of Mexico. How about renaming that to Unites States of America
robocallThe United States of Mexican America
Rename the city of Calexico to Calimerica
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.”
poVoqThe US doesn’t have exclusive rights to “America” as a name. In fact strictly speaking “Gulf of America” is not a bad name since it is the largest gulf in the Americas AFAIK.
This is, of course, not why Trump is doing this.
The reason is racism
Carighan MaconarTrue, they’ll probably call it Gulf of 'MURICA!
RememberTheApollo_Then maybe Gulf of the Americas would be more appropriate.
The US doesn’t have exclusive rights to “America” as a name. Agreed. Let’s also change our demonym to Unitedstatian.
That’s also unclear, given the United States of Mexico.
You joke but in many languages they do that, for instance “statunitensi” or “estadounidenses”
I don’t joke actually. I chose “Unitedstatians” exactly because that’s what other languages do.
Except America has more then one gulf so it isn’t the gulf of America it is one gulf in America.
Canada has more land mass than the US does. Perhaps Trump should be talking about integrating the US into Canada (and doing away with the now-redundant US Presidential position).
I’m sure Canada would love that influx of crazy
Cascadia awaits…
mojofrododojoCascadia, the on envisioned as a racist white ethnostate?
What the fuck is wrong with you?
I was born and raised in Cascadia and I have never once heard of it being some white racist ethnostate it’s more of a bioregion/cool people thing…I googled it and it looks like some folk in the 1840s wanted to do that but comparing us with them is ridiculous on your part to tell ya the truth.
I have never once heard of it being some white racist ethnostate
I was raised all over the country - but got an education in history. I’ve known the chud’s plan for Cascadia since I was a kid. Why don’t you read history? Don’t you think you should know what you’re endorsing before you start suggesting people support a plan for a white racist ethnostate?
Now that you know it’s history are you in any way reconsidering?
It’s not just a historical motivation, the scumfucks are still pushing for it.

wake up
WesDym@Entropywins I feel ya, and I agree with you, but here's a friendly tip: Any argument made in text will be more persuasive if you write it like a thoughtful, educated grown-up instead of like a drunk high school drop-out.
It's one thing to be 'casual' in discourse. It's another to come across as incompetent, inconsiderate, or lazy.
Online, all anyone sees are the words you type. That's a huge part of how others will perceive you -- and everything you say -- and you should mindful about that.
Get fucked…that better?
@Entropywins Yep, that's what I expect from childish people.
You need to grow up.
No, the geographic region you fucking mouth breather.
But Mexico has 63 more miles of coastline on the Gulf than the USA does.
He’ll solve that too.
Ricky RigatoniWe’ll croatia them and canada.
America isn’t even the countries name, it’s “The United States OF America” with North America being the continent it’s on.
Unitedstatesian Gulf
And French Fries are now Freedom Fries /s
20 some years ago when that happened, I remember saying “What? That’s stupid…”. I was a teenager at the time. I was yelled at by adults saying “NO! IT’S NOT STUPID!!! WE’RE AMERICANS!!! FREEDOM FRIES ARE AN AMERICAN FOOD!!! WE GROW POTATOES IN IDAHO!!! NOT PARIS!!!”
Today, I’m 41. Teenager me wasn’t immature. Well, ok, I was, on a lot of things. But NOT on this. 41 year old me looks back and says teenager me was right.
This IS stupid.
French fries then, french fries now.
Patriot theatrics was stupid then, and it’s stupid now. I remember being extremely frustrated that no one could tell me why a better (more location specific?) name wasn’t more popular. It’s not like “freedom” is exlusive to the US.
I mean, just call them Idaho Fries at that point. Besides fufilling your criteria, it’s actually more accurate all around. The french fry was NEVER french in orgin. I have no idea how it got that name.
Same thing with fortune cookies. Go over to china, and it’s not a thing. They’d be so confused if you went to china and requested an individually wrapped crunchy pastry that comes with a sheet of paper which predicts your future, gives you lottory numbers, and teaches you to speak the local language. All for free because you ate a meal with them.
Yeah, when I put it in text form, it sounds insane, doesn’t it? Well, it’s also American in orgin.
I use the term “freedom units” whether someone tells me that they’re 6 shoes and 2 toenails tall instead of using metric.
He’s NOT too Old to be President!
