Gulf watch

Trump along with his discipleship are welcome to call the Gulf of Mexico whatever it wants or, as in this case, decrees. He ought not however claim the US being treated unfairly, when the rest of the world continues to refer to it as the Gulf of Mexico.

Names change, it's ok.

[Copper]

And rename China to West Hawaii

There was some memes going around Taiwan to refer to people from mainland China to be from West Taiwan.

Glad you feel that way. I can think of a few times in past I’ve changed your name on this forum.

Just call it Trump Gulf and be done with it.

"America" is not a a country. There are two continents, North and South, called "America." I may be wrong but the only large body of water named after a nation is the Indian Ocean.

We live in the United States of America.

OK - I was wrong in that assumption.

There's also the Irish Sea, Gulf of Guinea, Mozambique Channel, Arabian Sea, Gulf of Thailand, The Great Australian Bight, Tasman Sea....

I'm sure there's more

[George K]

You guys are a bunch of assholes.

Hell, there's a body of water in my condo - The Toilet Bowl of George.

[Wim]

I'm pretty sure nobody wants to rename that body of water

[George K]

[Copper]

I think that is exactly why he did this.

Throw a bone to msnbc, so they ignore the stuff he wants them to ignore.
