I guess "Bumpkin Bay" is a little too on the nose.
Or maybe "Gulf Of Florida Man."
America isn't even the countries name, it's "The United States OF America" with North America being the continent it's on.
Unitedstatesian Gulf
But Mexico has 63 more miles of coastline on the Gulf than the USA does. We should just leave it alone.
Wouldn't surprise me if this was inspired to circumvent the new ban on oil drilling Biden just enacted. "We're drilling in the Gulf of America, not the Gulf of Mexico."
The US doesn't have exclusive rights to "America" as a name. In fact strictly speaking "Gulf of America" is not a bad name since it is the largest gulf in the Americas AFAIK.
True, they'll probably call it Gulf of 'MURICA!

Trump tomorrow: "we're renaming the state of New Mexico to the state of New Murica!"

This will go over about as well as the Sacagawea dollar coin, and the coin had the advantage of actually being a good idea.
Fucking THEATER
Hey, tbh, I'm fine with him focusing on things like this and trying to buy Greenland. It's much rather he spend his time on theater than on actually hurting people
This is a distraction
He's trying to get things like this and Greenland in the headlines so that he can do the actually harmful things without too much notice.
No, he has no idea what the real agenda is. He actually thinks this bullshit matters. That's exactly why he was installed in the position of president.
The guy is like, literally borderline retarded. Quit giving that asshole credit.

Yeah, good luck convincing the rest of the world to change to fit your wants.
The name change will go over worse than the Twitter renaming.
Or when they tried to change the name of French fries.
Delusional LMAO.
This channel is going to be so busy the next 4 years. Oof.
Should just change the name to 'Muricas an Onion
