Summary
Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is pushing legislation to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, arguing the U.S. military and taxpayers secure the region, making it “our gulf.”
Greene shared the proposal text on social media, calling for federal agencies to adopt the name change.
She linked the renaming effort to combatting Mexican cartel activity in the Gulf.
Trump supported the name change in a 2024 executive order, but there has been no indication of international adoption, including by the UK.
“Pennsylvania Dutch” means German ancestry because when people asked where they were from, they said Deutschland.
And the Dutch being from Holland didn’t exactly make sense either.
So trump and the Republicans might be able to make American federal Agencies call it that…
But absolutely no one else has to follow suit
Different countries call things different names. And only incredible ignorant people don’t understand that in 2025
