The federal government is formally implementing President Trump’s directive to rename the Gulf of Mexico and Denali.

The Interior Department issued a press release saying that the “the Gulf of Mexico will now officially be known as the Gulf of America.”

It also said it was reversing an Obama-era decision to rename Alaska’s Mount McKinley to Denali.

The department said the U.S. Board on Geographic Names was working “expeditiously” to update the names of these features in the Geographic Names Information System and that the changes are “effective immediately for federal use.”

While the Gulf of Mexico change is new, what to call the nation’s highest peak has been a matter of debate for years.

2. How petty.....

15. All This Shite

is petty. Most of what he has done since being sworn in is petty nastiness.

3. At worst

This will be reversed in 4 years. No one will take this seriously.

6. Once he's gone, so will those name changes.

5. I expect I'll be calling it the Gulf of Donald Trump Can Go F**k Himself.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

7. I think that name has already been taken, for several things. NT

8. Good Grief. We will never use those names. He is massively out of control

9. They really want to call'em the Gulf of Whiteness and Mt. White Man.

10. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.

Of course, most of the people who voted for Felon45 have assimilated the last one.

[sinkingfeeling]

11. Not to me.

[Ping Tung]

12. Denali is an Athabascan word meaning "the high one" or "the great one."

Trump didn't want to see anything said to be "higher" or "greater" than his majestic self.

16. It's just a matter of time before...

They require nose picking and booger eating be considered presidential acts, I reckon.

This sh¡t's beyond ridiculous. And it's all headed directly towards a giant blowback fan.

Let them have their fun. I spit in their general direction.

[UTUSN]

17. Just saying, about half of the U.S. geography has town and street names in Spanish...

[La Coliniere]

18. These acts of renaming are the acts of an insecure imbecile

who pulls shit out of his ass to annoy his opponents and to show his base he’s the strongman who can do whatever he wants and further garnish their support. They still can’t recognize he doesn’t give a hoot about them nor does he really care about geographical names. It’s strictly performative in the name of “making America great again”. It’s total bs.
