President Donald Trump floated the idea of renaming the former Gulf of Mexico after himself.
While recounting the victories of the first year of his second term, Trump recalled renaming the body of water the "Gulf of America."....

"I was going to call it the Gulf of Trump," he continued. "But I thought that I would be killed if I did that. I wanted to do it. I wanted to. My people worked so hard. Sir, don't think it'll look too good."

Trump insisted that the Gulf would be "hotter than ever" if it had been named after him.

"I'm joking, you know, when I say that," he added. "I was not going to call it the Gulf of Trump. Because tomorrow I'll be, Trump wanted to call it the Gulf of Trump, but he was rebuffed by his people. My people don't rebuff me too much."

"The Gulf of Trump, that does have a good ring, though. Maybe we could do that. It's not too late."
