                As an American and long time OSM contributor, I also vote extremely no on Gulf of America.

                Also no on renaming New Mexico.

                    If he is just going to make executive order to change shit he doesn’t like and not follow the law. Who says I have to follow them too? Still the Gulf of Mexico to me! 😂

                        Can we poll the community for alternate names that would enrage Trump? If it's gonna change, let's have fun with it.

                        Gulf of Veganism and Low Cholesterol

                        Gulf of Checks and Balances

                        Gulf of 34 Felony Counts

                        Gulf of Cheetos (let's get those sweet advertising dollars while we're at it)

                        Gulf of Insecurity

                        Kamala-Clinton Gulf

                          That should suffice.

                                New Mexico? You mean "South America", right?

                                (Everything south of the Rio Grande is now "Mexico". Except for the Panama America canal.)

                                    Fun fact, per the executive order, the whole body isn't being renamed the Gulf of America, only the "U.S. Continental Shelf area bounded on the northeast, north, and northwest by the States of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida and extending to the seaward boundary with Mexico and Cuba". That is, less than the northern half, as indicated in this map: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:US_ECS_Regions_2023.png

                                          But you couldn't tell, could you. 😂 I'm keeping this joke alive as long as I can, until Trump gets wind of it and actually does it.
