By the way, the absurd renaming of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America only extends to the U.S. continental shelf. The rest of the Gulf of Mexico is still recognized by the rest of the world as the Gulf of Mexico. What a ridiculous waste of money and time.

Trump is mad because he realized yesterday that he got told off by a woman who he assumed was not powerful.
