We have a national debt of x trillion dollars. The name of the Gulf is not a national priority.

Could kill two birds by selling the naming rights. For example, for $1 billion it could be Gulf of Pepsi.

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.

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

(It's pedantry Friday)
"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.
