No, just call it the United States of America.
Just don't call it ' America'. It ain't.
They sure as hell stole Mexico from the natives there.

They integrated. Then they struggled against Spain for independence. Spain gave up Mexico in 1821 with the Treaty of Cordoba.
They owned the Gulf of Mexico while OTHER European settlers were still ethnically-cleansing the native North Americans.
No, its silly to spend money to change the name of a body of water 500 years later.
We KICKED Mexico's butt the Gulf is ours now.
Modern day Mexicans are very genetically integrated with the earlier indigenous people who used to live there, The United States no so much.
The Dems changed lots of names years and years later. Are they silly too?

Oh look, you're not only an anti-Semite, but you are an anti American to boot. You want the Gulf to go back to being the Gulf of Mexico?
Nobody did that. Are you saying you do not understand the difference? Seems possible. There is no naming conflict going on for America. Nobody, except perhaps you, is pushing for that name change.

Again, not while there's a Mexico. Trump is a laughing stock. There soon won't be a Trump.
Mexico harbors one of the largest amounts of pre-Columbian genetic diversity in the Americas.

Squaw Peak in Arizona was named that in 1910. The natives called it Vianom Do'ag. In 1992 it was renamed Piestewa Peak after a Native American service member killed in Iraq. Geographical names change.
You are simply trying to use an appeal to history / tradition fallacy.
Mt. McKinley (named in 1896) was renamed Denali in 2015. Same thing. Were you against that?
It is YOU that is making no sense. Trump can rename it, and he did. Maybe it'll get turned back to the Gulf of Mexico sometime in the future.

No, it isn't Trump's to rename. He tried, but he failed.

Sure it is insofar as the US is concerned.
Germans call their country Deutschland. In America, we call it Germany. Until fairly recently, the Italian city of Livorno in Northern Italy was listed as Leg Horn because that's what it sounded like to English speaking map makers of the time. We call Japan that even though it is Nippon in Japanese.
I'd also say he succeeded. Go see what it is listed as on say, Google Maps.

Who gives a shit about when the Gulf was first named? The fact is that there is more U.S. border/land on the Gulf than there is on the Mexican
land/border. Get used to having Trump make America Greater than its ever been before. I know you anti American leftists just hate it when
America gets to name it the Gulf of America, or that you don't like the idea of having us control and take back the Panama Canal, or seeing
us about to annex Greenland, or to the putting of your buddy illegals back to their country origins, or to lock them up etc., but eventually you
still have time to praise America for Trump's tremendous gift in Making America Great Again.
Google Maps disagrees with you.

It's never changed. It's still the Gulf of Mexico- and it will outlive Trump.
I'm anti-American stupid, incidentally, not anti-United States of America.
