> Gulf of America is a more inclusive name anyway since both USA and Mexico are part of North America

gulf of america is not more inclusive. the "renaming" was not meant to be inclusive, it was very clearly meant to be divisive.

this is a similar argument to one often used when people call canadians americans: "umm, ackshully, canada is in north america, so it's correct to call them americans"

and of course the flaw in that argument is that literally nobody on earth considers canadians to be americans except people on the internet trying to sound smart.

>gulf of america is not more inclusive.

Sure it is. Mexico is not the only country in the Americas that has a maritime border on this body of water.

you make up some argument no one actually makes and point out its flaw? congrats I guess.
