'Beautiful name': Trump announces Gulf of Mexico will get new, pro-America revamp
[FOX] President-elect Trump announced the Gulf of Mexico is getting a new name.

"We're going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, which has a beautiful ring. That covers a lot of territory," Trump said on Tuesday. "The Gulf of America. What a beautiful name. And it's appropriate."

Trump made the announcement in his first press conference since Congress certified his election win over Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday from Mar-a-Lago. He opened the press event by announcing DAMAC Properties will invest $20 billion in new data centers across the country in addition to previewing a bevy of policy issues ahead of his inauguration this month.

#1 One way to bypass Biden's coastal drilling ban, is to get more coast.

We know this is a head fake but it's so much fun to watch the greenies squirm.

#2 I'd agree with Gulf of the America's,

After all, the gulf is shared by 20 something other countries.

#3 The only countries with a coast on the Gulf of Mexico are the US, Mexico and Cuba

You get a lot more if you include the Caribbean Sea.

#8 One of the best suggestions I read yesterday was that Trump should lean into more of this yanking of chains. He should announce that he'll rename the Atlantic Ocean "The American Ocean" and rename the Pacific Ocean..."The Other American Ocean".

#9 I see. And the Indian Ocean will be renamed "Not the American Ocean"?

I'm not looking forward to 4 years of political BS.

#12 One pundit said this is Trump controlling the media focus - if they bite on weird stuff they have less time to agitate against the real stuff. Dunno.
