Summary
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum mocked Donald Trump’s proposal to rename the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America” by suggesting the U.S. be renamed “Mexican America.”
“It sounds nice, doesn’t it?” she said, pointing to a 17th-century map showing California, Texas, and Arizona once belonging to Mexico before the Mexican-American War (1846–1848). She also noted the Gulf of Mexico has had its name since 1607.
Sheinbaum warned new U.S. tariffs would prompt reciprocal measures.
While advocating for cooperation, she emphasized Mexico’s sovereignty and its historical ties with the U.S.
Can we just split the country in two and go with North Mexico and South Canada?
This all a distraction to keep us in the dark while his cabinet gets picked and we don’t hesr shit about it. All the news about Trump is this bullshit.
IT’S A DISTRACTION SO HE CAN PULL OFF HIS REAL PLANS WITH PROJECT 2025 WHILE WE ALL FIGHT OVER THIS AND BUYING GREENLAND.

Balkanizing the US would legitimately be fantastic for the Global South.
