QUESTION: Do you not see the conceitedness in Trump renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America? That is outrageous.

ANSWER: Look, I perceive folks say they’re American, which means they’re from america. Traditionally, it was named the Gulf of Mexico as a result of the Spanish owned nearly all the things from Florida to Texas, apart from Louisiana, which Thomas Jefferson bought from the French. We stay in North America, which incorporates Mexico and Canada, after which there’s South America. Technically, renaming the Gulf of Mexico from when it was all Mexico to the Gulf of America is just not the Gulf of america. It’s correct as a result of “America” is just not formally america of America.
America is known as after Amerigo Vespucci, the Italian explorer who set forth the then-revolutionary idea that the lands that Christopher Columbus sailed to in 1492 have been a part of a separate continent. Columbus thought he discovered India, which is why we name the indigenous folks American Indians. To say Trump is being boastful is questionable. The Gulf of America might be extra correct since that is all of North America. Calling it the Guld of the USA or one thing like that may be boastful.
