  Dumbest thing about the entire thing is that naming it the Gulf of ‘anything’ basically highlights the perspective it was named from. Naming it the Gulf of Mexico highlights it in reference to the US, basically intrinsically identifying it as an American gulf, and specifying it as ‘the one near Mexico’. By Trumps logic we should name every gulf that touches the US ‘Gulf of American’. He’s so arrogant that he can’t even see anything past his very first instinct. Like if you said ‘the part of my yard next to Fred’s yard’ and Trump came in and said you should rename it ‘the part of my yard next to my house’….that’s what Fred should call it, and it references Fred as being more important in the equation.
