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.

    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.

      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.

    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.
