This is because Biden signed legislation banning oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.

The 2025 season of the "USA" reality show will be awesome! 😎🍿
hope they don’t go with the cliché world war plot this time, tho
I'm so fucking tired of this shit.
Better buckle up. It’s going to be a wild ride…that’s on fire…at a haunted amusement park…in a war zone.
Freedom fries all over again
Definitely very important things to be spending time on. And not something his cultists would be yelling about if it was Biden.
Just like the fucking Nazis and Communists changing names of cities, roads, etc.. to suit their fucked up agenda. Chemnitz was once Karl-Marx-Stadt and the fucked up Nazis changed many Slavic city and town names along the Polish border before the outbreak of WW II.
I wonder how long it will be before the white house issues a 9 dash line Trump has hastily marked up with a red permanent marker.
Guarantee the house and senate are going to be full of this kind of shit to the exclusion of anything even remotely useful
Can only hope this is the case. If they're not being useful, chances are they're not being genuinely destructive either
And it's an omnibus law that also bans abortion, with meaningless exceptions for rape, but only if the perpetrator is sentenced before the first trimester; or life threatening conditions, but only if the mother is actively dying. And if you vote no on that, you'll be smeared forever as the traitor of America.
why is the media giving this idiot the time of day. no it's not called the "gulf of america" and no congress can't do squat about it. it's a stupid distraction from an idiot.
The President is very much a figurehead - he wields no real power whatsoever. He is apparently chosen by the government, but the qualities he is required to display are not those of leadership but those of finely judged outrage. For this reason the President is always a controversial choice, always an infuriating but fascinating character. His job is not to wield power but to draw attention away from it.

Because people voted for him
Wait till he 'rebrands' to
Ameristan
or maybe
Trumpmania
This is not good obviously, but it's also very US-centric to think that name Gulf of America indicates it belongs to the US. In an alternate timeline it would totally make sense to have a gulf between two Americas called the Gulf of America or even the American Sea. But the US has effectively hijacked the name America
We could then call it Gulf of ~~the~~ Americas, by simply adding something. (Vandalizing Maps is easy that way)
All you need is a sharpie to vandalize maps!
Correct!!!
More meaningless culture war bullshit.
Trump knows what he’s doing, I feel his goal is to say more eye catching things to drive peoples focus away from other ongoing things.
