Gulf of America. Buy those maps quick.

It would seem to be a lot cheaper to open the textbooks, find the Gulf, and tape over the word Mexico with a label saying "America".
But that wouldn't allow for Book Publishers to add chapter and verse to the Textbooks informing the kiddos how President Donald J. Trump was responsible for the name of the Gulf being changed.
But first the teachers would need to look for the body of water presently called the "Gulf of Mexico".
Why?
That could be a bit challenging.
Not at all.

What does this mean? ⬆️
 
Are you referring to my dig at unqualified teachers who can't find the Gulf of Mexico on a map?

Why would teachers who don't teach geography need to know?

Everyone needs to know where the Gulf of America is located.
Anyway, what's in a name? A gulf by any other name is just as salty.

Erm, why?
I do know where it is but I can't say it's vital information.

No piece of information is vital until you are asked about it.
You can always say, "Well, I don't know where the Gulf of America is."
And then someone would think you are not well educated.
How would you feel then?
 
Anyone who questions my imagination is trying to catch me in a lie.

So is it a lie? I asked you what you meant and you posted defensive snark. When someone hides like that, it does make me question their intention.

I'd feel absolutely fine because it's not called that.
It's the Gulf of Mexico and always will be.
Trump is not the ruler of the world and doesn't have the power to change the name of places outside the US.
 
Stupid, wasteful move.
 
Yep. This is just his opening shot, angling for people to start suggesting we name stuff after him. IMO he's slavering over that and hasnt yet reached the point where he'll overtly do it himself. If this current tactic doesnt work, he'll coerce people into naming stuff after him.
Sure... I suppose I will name my little 4cyl diesel truck after him... No longer a Chevy Colorado, but now a Chevy Trump. 35 miles to the gallon, clean diesel that also can pull nearly 10k lbs.

My little pickup trump!

Great idea. Oh it would be great to name a nuclear waste dump after him!

Want to see Trump and you Fanboys run from the name? Let an oil rig blow up and pump a few million barrels of oil into the “Gulf of America” and suddenly nobody will know what that is.
