Thanks for posting this. I needed some good news after seeing egg prices at record highs, tensions heating back up in Israel, and we are 22 days late and counting on a solution for Ukraine. I literally jumped out of my chair and high-fived my wife's boyfriend when I saw Gulf of America instead of Gulf of Mexico.

Yep, everything should be sorted in less than a month, three weeks tops.
Everything.

Those three things? Um yes?
Trump dodges questions on prices despite claiming he would bring them down on ‘day one’ in office
Trump promised on campaign trail to bring down price of ‘everything’
Trump says he can end the Russia-Ukraine war in one day. Russia's UN ambassador says he can't
The comments by Vassily Nebenzia, Russia’s United Nations ambassador, come as Donald Trump has repeatedly said he can settle the war between Russia and Ukraine in one day if he’s elected president again.

But like I said I don't care about all that dumb crap anymore because Gulf of America.

Think of the fortune that will be made from people throwing out their old atlases and having to buy new ones! My theory is Trump only did this because he's in cahoots with big globe and big map.

Nah. Trump owns the company that’s gonna construct the huge letters that will soon float in the former Gulf of Mexico and will spell the new name.

Had to google it why it is even called Gulf of Mexico to begin with when the US has a ton of coastline and you got Cuba poking into it too.
www.standard.co.uk
The name “Mexico” originates from an Indigenous city that bore the same name as the modern state of Mexico. The Gulf of Mexico has carried this name for roughly 400 years. However, in the US, it is often colloquially called the “Third Coast” due to its coastline spanning five south-eastern states.
Mexicans refer to the gulf as El Golfo de México, using the Spanish version of the name.
While the US claims control over a significant portion of the gulf, international agreements have clarified territorial waters. Under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, US waters extend 12 nautical miles from its coastline.
en.wikipedia.org
Early 16th-century maps by Juan de la Cosa and Martin Waldseemüller depicted the gulf, though left it unlabeled.[14] A 1584 map by Abraham Ortelius labeled it as the "Sea of the North" (Mare de Nort).[15] Hernán Cortés also called it by this name (Spanish: Mar del Norte) in his dispatches, while other Spanish explorers called it the "Gulf of Florida" (Golfo de Florida) or "Gulf of Cortés" (Golfo de Cortés).[14] Other early European maps called it the "Gulf of St. Michael" (Latin: Sinus S. Michaelis),[16] "Gulf of Yucatán" (Golfo de Iucatan),[17] "Yucatán Sea" (Mare Iuchatanicum),[18] "Great Antillean Gulf" (Sinus Magnus Antillarum), "Cathayan Sea" (Mare Cathaynum), or "Gulf of New Spain" (Spanish: Golfo de Nueva España).[14] At one point, New Spain encircled the gulf, with the Spanish Main extending into what is now the southeastern United States.[15]
The name "Gulf of Mexico" (Spanish: golfo de México; French: golphe du Mexique, later golfe du Mexique) first appeared on a world map in 1550 and a historical account in 1552. It has been the most common name since the mid-17th century,[14][19][20] when it was still considered a Spanish sea.[21] French Jesuits used this name as early as 1672.[22] In the 18th century, Spanish admiralty charts similarly labeled the gulf as "Mexican Cove" or "Mexican Sound" (Ensenada Mexicana or Seno Mexicano).[14] Until the Republic of Texas broke away from Mexico in 1836, Mexico's coastal boundary extended eastward along the gulf to present-day Louisiana.
Why was the Gulf of Mexico given its name and can Trump change it?
The president says he wants the body of water to be called the Gulf of America but has not elaborated on how his plans could be enacted

Gulf of Mexico - Wikipedia
Nomenclature
The gulf's name ultimately derives from Mexica, the Nahuatl term for the Aztecs.[9] Though there is no formal protocol on the general naming of international waters, the Gulf of Mexico is officially recognized by the International Hydrographic Organization,[10][11] which seeks to standardize the names of international maritime features for certain purposes[12] and counts all three countries adjacent to the gulf as member states.[13]Early 16th-century maps by Juan de la Cosa and Martin Waldseemüller depicted the gulf, though left it unlabeled.[14] A 1584 map by Abraham Ortelius labeled it as the "Sea of the North" (Mare de Nort).[15] Hernán Cortés also called it by this name (Spanish: Mar del Norte) in his dispatches, while other Spanish explorers called it the "Gulf of Florida" (Golfo de Florida) or "Gulf of Cortés" (Golfo de Cortés).[14] Other early European maps called it the "Gulf of St. Michael" (Latin: Sinus S.

America is a continent actually 2 continents so I'm not too bothered by this. Now if Trump decided to call it the Gulf of the United States of America then we'd have a problem.

I think most people assume America means USA, not North America. Donnie even stresses it's a USA thing. It isnt close to South America either.
But I'm surprised internet maps are renaming it. Just because Trump renamed it doesn't mean it should go through as the gulf is shared across USA, Mexico and maybe even Cuba has a say in it.
But something like Hudsons Bay can be renamed by Canada as it is entirely within its territory.

Only USians and Canadians call the USA America. Mexico all the way down to Argentina call it Estados Unidos. In Mexico it is colloquially known as El Norte, El otro lado and El Gabacho

Everyone on Earth calls the "United Mexican States" by the name Mexico
Hardly anyone on Earth even knows the actual name of that country is "Estados Unidos Mexicanos"

You posted in a thread recognizing it. So in a sense you have already done what you swore not to do.
