Now I am in a debate.

Is this bad because he is trying to associate more things with the USA, or good because America is two whole continent where Mexico is just a country.

If somehow the name were to be changed I think your later point wouldn’t make much sense. It would be associated with the United States of America, not North or South America or even “America” if it referred to both continents. Nobody in Belize or Paraguay or Cuba is under the impression that renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America is for hemispheric unity…

I’m surprised he isn’t trying to name it the Gulf of Texas or the Gulf of Florida. Personally I think the Gulf of Ohio has a nice ring to it. We have already taken over Pasadena, California and the entire state of South Carolina as things currently stand.

Gulf of Trump have better change than Texas or Ohio.
You’re not wrong but let’s not give anyone any awful ideas…
