Also leftists who refused to vote at all because Harris didn’t solve the Middle East conflicts from the Vice President’s desk.

Wait wait wait… So you’re saying the vice president isn’t the same as the queen and can’t just do whatever she wants?

I voted for Harris, because I believe in trying to be practical and try to reduce harm, but I also won’t even think of speaking ill of those who refused to endorse genocide just because the other guy might do genocide without the pathetic finger-wagging the Biden administration did as they handed over more and more and more bombs. It was a hard choice, and I chose pragmatics and harm reduction, but I also know that some fucking dweeb in the DNC is going to read that number as an endorsement signal for the platform of “genocide is okay as long as we tut at them while we hand them bombs”.

The economy was predicted to do worse under Trump, as was/is inflation and housing prices.

What absolute fucking dumbasses voted for this guy for economic reasons?

Hey, tbh, I’m fine with him focusing on things like this and trying to buy Greenland. It’s much rather he spend his time on theater than on actually hurting people

He’s trying to get things like this and Greenland in the headlines so that he can do the actually harmful things without too much notice.

No, he has no idea what the real agenda is. He actually thinks this bullshit matters. That’s exactly why he was installed in the position of president.

The guy is like, literally borderline retarded. Quit giving that asshole credit.

This is what Trump does day to day, spouting random made up shit on a whim. My guess is that it was ad libbed and there is no legislation, the whole renaming thing is probably news to his speech writer/diaper changer/whatever they call the person that tries to get him to talk about something specific.

The horrible shit is orchestrated by all the malicious fucks around him who can focus on one topic for more than 5 minutes.

Love how these commenters are all offended by a thing that will never get off the ground, or be heard again.

But Mexico has 63 more miles of coastline on the Gulf than the USA does. We should just leave it alone.

Wouldn’t surprise me if this was inspired to circumvent the new ban on oil drilling Biden just enacted. “We’re drilling in the Gulf of America, not the Gulf of Mexico.”

The US doesn’t have exclusive rights to “America” as a name. In fact strictly speaking “Gulf of America” is not a bad name since it is the largest gulf in the Americas AFAIK.

Then maybe “Gulf of the Americas” would be more appropriate.

You joke but in many languages they do that, for instance “statunitensi” or “estadounidenses”

Canada has more land mass than the US does. Perhaps Trump should be talking about integrating the US into Canada (and doing away with the now-redundant US Presidential position).

USA != America. USA is a country that resides on the North American Continent.

While I know Trump is doing this to try and claim it as the USA’s… It actually makes sense if you actually use “America” properly to refer to North, Central and South America.
