Trump wants to change the name of Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America.

Cant drill for oil in the Gulf of Mexico, but we can in the Gulf of America... most people are missing the point. He is doing a great work around the Libtards
Please elaborate on how changing the name we use affects our ability to drill for oil.
I'm not an expert on international law but something tells me that calling it the Gulf of America may be a little more than nuance.
This first article is from 2018:
China Offshore Corporation begins deep water drilling in the Gulf of Mexico
From March 15, 2024. Note the date! The Chinese didn't have any plans to let go of their holdings.
CNOOC holding onto Gulf of Mexico leases
This article was published on December 16, 2024. That was after Trump was elected. So did the Chinese decide to get out while the time was right? BTW, the British aren't necessarily our friends.
Chinese giant’s Gulf of Mexico oil & gas assets changing hands with UK firm’s ‘major step’ into US deepwater plays
How about you explain how changing the name doesn't make it easier. In that you will find your answer.

That's about what I'd expect. What we call it has nothing to do with anything. It is a name. And nobody but the US would use it. I can wait til the person making the claim explains it.
You are missing it. Strike 2, one more and your out.

Hint
Think China nine – line.
That's not what "gaslighting" means.
Regarding blocking labor sources that typically make our food, cut our grass, clean our houses, shovel snow, etc at low cost while flinging the door open to labor sources that depress tech sector wages and steal jobs from our debt-laden STEM graduates, and deliver low quality work at medium cost and eventually no work at high cost (Vivek, Elon, Nadella, Krishna, etc)... if you don't "see" narrative-collapse within MAGA happening now, you may get to experience it soon.
I'll bet the same FUD merchants sold you on the idea that young, debt-laden college graduates entering the labor market had Native American Poetry degrees though, right?
I mean... eating Athletic Greens doesn't not make it easier to have six pack abs, right?
This is just an incoming American President beclowning himself and debasing the office for what is about to be another four years of surrendering to anyone and everyone who can possibly get on his schedule.
Shhh! The adults are talkingThat's not what "gaslighting" means.

You need to think. The US maintains oil rights within it's territorial waters. You can call it Donny's Pond or whatever you like. It does not change international law.
I can provide a map to help you think. You're welcome.

Make the Gulf of America great again.
Claim it… all of it. Since when is the United States followed international law all the time, benefits us.
Any idea how much the government makes leasing the land for oil exploration production to foreign companies?
Actually, you are getting nowhere. What does any of this have to do with the name?
I'm here for it, homey... but if you want to talk on an adult level, why is you slurping that MAGA noodle? You know it's all fake BS, right?
Also, once you "claim it" from the MEEZ, and then Mexico mines it outside of lanes that they control... are you going to be on a ship in the Gulf "helping locate" the mines?
Again... in summary, this "seize it!" move serves two purposes-
1) Stroke bait for retards
2) We can say "We talked about doing similar things!" while we surrender globally and help our adversaries stand up... while we lay down for the new multi-polar "Foundations of Geopolitics" world that is supposed to replace the "Deeply Unfair" rules-based international order.
Wow. If Bondi does not make it through confirmation, you should submit your name for consideration. You would fit right in and make an excellent addition to the team.
One way or another I’m gonna find you. I’m gonna get to get you get you get you.
She was a decent artist, but a little too pop rock for my taste.
So what do you know about Standard oil , Cuba and the late 50’s/early60’s?
Nothing is better than watching woke, leftist heads explode with Trump's trolls. That fact that Trump can manipulate these people's outrage, like Zamphir plays the magic flute pipes, is totally worth the price of admission even if he did not govern like a sane human being with common sense. How he manipulates the press is just ridiculous. He's like Michael Jordan playing against a grade school team.
If you idiots on the retarded side of politics don't understand it now you simply never will. Take Trump seriously, not necessarily literally. You don't know what he really wants just by writing his words down and letting him explode your head. The people getting bent out of shape need to read The Art of the Deal, and consider how he governed in his first term aside from all the leftist noise. Once you read the book, not that I agree with his style of aggressive negotiation, you'll understand that he believes in "The Unreasonable Ask" to begin negotiations, and he may actually want something pretty innocuous.
I've read a certain conservative magazine, and listen to their podcast every week, for decades. I stopped during the first Trump presidency because I couldn't deal with their TDS. I started again when the Potato stole the election. The coverage today is not pro MAGA, but it is clear to me that they now understand him and can laugh at The Gulf of America, Canada as the 51st state, and Greenland.
Yes, he opened with the unreasonable ask, but to believe that only that is what he'll settle for just makes you sound like an idiot. You've been listening to and believing feckless politicians for too long, and refuse to understand that a wheeler/dealer is now running the free world. Figure the odds he's less successful than some corrupt donkey who doesn't care about reality or the actual value of our own dollars.

How can you be so obtuse?
Is it intentional?
No, professor, renaming the Gulf of Mexico does not give us mineral rights. It is, however, a POTUS level troll that make leftists' heads explode and capture the political media cycle. If Los Ghemora was not on fire it would dominate the airwaves and it clearly has you playing in Trump's sandbox against your will.
You don't sound reasonable pointing out the fact that names mean very little as a practical matter. You sound like you are easily manipulated and unhinged with TDS.
As I pointed out elsewhere, even conservative sources who have been never-Trumpers are chuckling about this, because they now understand what you do not.

It's textbook gaslighting. And then saying gaslighting isn't "gaslighting" is beyond laughable in its irony.
I don't think saying dementia-stuff is forcing anyone else to question the fabric of reality... or if perhaps the 78 year old is slipping, and they are all right. Most likely the latter.
I think the percentages are non-equal too- it is true that really dumb people on both the left and right think that this is a real thing.
There are LOTS and LOTS of MAGApersons wishing we could invade Venezuela for the girls and gas, or Greenland for the... yeah, Greenland... and I don't think there are a whole lot of leftist heads exploding.
This is more like showing up on the first day of work and chugging a quart of your own piss to "establish dominance."
It doesn't make sense... and it doesn't communicate what you think it does. It's just self-humiliating for an incoming POTUS to talk nonsense like this.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott got in on the renaming debate and may have a winner, the Gulf of Texas.
I like it.
I like it.
I like Gulf of the United States. Sounds boss.
It's so simple isn't it?
I taught my step kids how to negotiate with Rebecca.
You want to stay out until 10:00 pm?
You don't ask to stay out until then.
You ask for midnight.
Mom says no way.
You then say how about 11:00?
Mom says I'm not comfortable with that.
You then ask Mom what she's willing to accept.
Mom says 10:00 and not a minute later.
Kid is happy. Mom is happy and kids gets what they want.
The warning from me was, don't walk in that door at 10:00 or later.
You come home a few minutes early and show responsibility.
If you're responsible, the time will get extended. If you're late, you just fucked yourself and I'll make damn sure your new curfew is 9:00.
So far it worked with my girls and Rebecca's three kids.
Solid negotiation and living up to your promises. It matters.
Alabama and Mississippi enter the chat.
Arizona wonders why they aren't allowed to speak up.
Depends on whether you measure the actual coast line or as the crow flies.
What the hell do you know about surfing, Major? You're from goddamned.... New Jersey!

A real dementia sock puppet in the office for the last four years. His drug addict son leaving cocaine in a stash place in the white house. His staff of freaks and perverts flaunted in your face.
Eight years of the Kenyan putting his feet on the oval office desk and other furniture. Subverting the Constitution and a host of other bullshit.
All that in the timeframe of your membership here and not a single post about any of it. Nor any of the Russia collusion hoax, the two bogus impeachments and multiple other falsities got a single post by you. Now something like this has your ass on fire when he's not even in office yet? You playing the dignified card is fucking comical after what has happened over the last four years (see the picture above).
Your holding Trump to the highest standards is nothing more than an underhanded bullshit smear and you couldn't name a president in the last 150 years that could meet that standard.
TDS is real. There's help. Get some.
The big ones that you know about... and small ones, regionally, that we keep in check- in order that they move right.
The named adversaries that you hear about on the news every night... and our unnamed adversaries- some of whom portray themselves as allies- and who might just be told to look at the sunset sometime soon.
Homey- you sound like you got plugged into some real bad stuff... and you internalized it big time.
I'm not "on fire" over anything... but look at how much spit and drool you left on the keys just posting that ugly stuff. Go outside and get some fresh air. I'm just a very chill guy.
I do get a chuckle about how I made a post on an internet message board the other day and the perpetually online, living-by-wires people criticized my posting-frequency-metrics rather than admit that they were on here just talking nonsense and saying bad things about their country every day. Many of you need to go outside and talk to people, sign up for dance lessons, study history and visit historical places, run a race/ do jiu jitsu/ compete and measure yourself against other men, and travel, etc.
Specifically on the Trump thing though- Why debase yourself in such a way? You humiliate yourself to worship a man- as if he can solve the problems in your life- and what do you get from it? You memorize and repeat the lies... and then what?
It's not a "dignified card" either, and I'm not "playing it." I'm siimply a main who retains his dignity and conducts himself with integrity. This is beyond comprehension to the folks who think "Top Men for the job" are drunken philanderers and the patrons of underage prostitutes.
Again... debasing... humiliating... disgracing oneself...
For what?
And anyway- if you're so proud of being online every day and your posting-frequency-metrics... why are homophones kicking your ass? English... do you speak it? Do you write it?
The big ones that the Pravda tell you are an adversary. Pretty much figured you for such a response.
The rest of your conjecture is way off base. But again I had already expected a response from you on that level.
All deflection and projection and zero substance.
I'll give you a tad bit of credit though. It's a notch above the usual bullshit here.
I laughed out loud, literally... not just "LOL!" to that statement.
But anyway, no... I definitely do not find out who the adversaries of the United States of America are from Pravda... or Russia Today... or the Infidel Patriot Crusader MAGA telegram channel.
We are in the Era of Persistent Conflict though, and I have very bad news for you- those places that you were thinking of when you drafted that response? Our named adversaries that you think we are manipulated into competition with by... LOL... the fake press?
(^that LOL wasn't a real laugh)
The bad news is that human suffering is coming to those places. They can avoid it if they behave properly- and retain power. They can avoid it if the people of those entities either strong arm or swap out those who are doing wrong today.
Even if it looks like we are about to reject the free world and join the Evil Empire... or emulate their behavior... Freedom will always win, and not everything that happens in the world is our fault, or happens because we made it happen.
It's not going to happen soon- though when it happens it might be fast- but these tin-pot "strong men" will all get replaced by responsible governments that behave properly and serve their people.
You are on here constantly now because your team of pedos, retards, and drunken hoes lost the election even though their geek lefty bros tried to steal it again.That's not what "gaslighting" means.
Regarding blocking labor sources that typically make our food, cut our grass, clean our houses, shovel snow, etc at low cost while flinging the door open to labor sources that depress tech sector wages and steal jobs from our debt-laden STEM graduates, and deliver low quality work at medium cost and eventually no work at high cost (Vivek, Elon, Nadella, Krishna, etc)... if you don't "see" narrative-collapse within MAGA happening now, you may get to experience it soon.
I'll bet the same FUD merchants sold you on the idea that young, debt-laden college graduates entering the labor market had Native American Poetry degrees though, right?
I mean... eating Athletic Greens doesn't not make it easier to have six pack abs, right?
This is just an incoming American President beclowning himself and debasing the office for what is about to be another four years of surrendering to anyone and everyone who can possibly get on his schedule.
Help a brutha out here.
Re: your lower quote.
Can you name a single government that ever existed which served the people and not itself?
If that's a no, then how about a current government that serves its people, not itself?
Not my team- I'm a true Republican.
DJT is a NY liberal sleaze king and lifelong democrat though- tracking?
The team of Pedos are... Trump himself, Gaetz etc.
The team of Retards are... RFK, MTG, etc.
The team of drunken hoes are... Hegseth, Guiliani, etc
Hey, y'know what's funny about that list? Those are all either Democrats or "Populist Republicans" (Democrats) or actual RINOs.
I've already apologized for my low-post-count-frequency though to the living-by-wires clique.
Now it's up to those same few to rise to the occasion and raise the level of discourse here- above talking bad about the United States of America, farts, and who is a fag.
Sad that you've become poisoned by FUD.
Power does corrupt, but the majority of governments serve the people... or they get swapped right out!
Another generic response. Go ahead and name those adversaries that you speak of. It's not classified information so go ahead and list them. Maybe include a bit of background why they are an adversary.
The job description says that's what they do.
Their actions say otherwise.
Very, very few INDIVIDUALS serve their people.
Governments as a whole have never done so.
They enrich themselves and disguise their actions as service. It's always been self service, and then toss a bone here and there to distract.
As far as swapping out the corrupt. It can't happen. You just trade one shit sandwich for a different looking one.
FUD?
Spell it out. Acronyms only work if your audience comes from the same background.
Going back to my questions, it appears the answer was IDK or no to both of them.
Am I wrong or did you just skirt the question to make it appear that I'm the ignorant one?
The "teams" in Great Power Competition are the People's Republic of China, Russia (fka the Soviet Union), and US.
You really don't understand the strategic rivalry between powerful states that has existed throuhout history????
Is you savvy with geopolitics, economics, and the security dynamics of the world we live in?
If I try to explain the workings of the world to you... I'm sure you will simply call it "generic" and say that you've heard it before.
Let's do something more interesting- Why don't you go first, and deliver an argument for folding down our institutions and transitioning from an America-led to a multipolar world?
THAT'S the very "un-generic" fascinating position for an American (you are one, right?) to take!
Do you think the Helsinki Surrender and the Doha Surrender made us stronger, or weaker?
Will Rooskie appeasement lead to greater peace, or more war? ( <-- there are historical precedents for this, if you are smart )
