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.
It has nothing to do with the name change, it’s just another bullshit opportunity to sow division among allies
It also sounds like the usual magic trick shennanigans: ooh look at what crazy things I’m saying~ no, don’t watch what I’m doing elsewhere, focus on the craaazyyy.
