Gulf of Mexico

The new American President Donald J. Trump has issued an executive order to rename the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America. 

This is ridiculous. America has some shores to this gulf, but so does Mexico. It is called Gulf of Mexico all around the world. As is explained in this video, the only thing the American President can be sure to achieve, is that American government authorities uses his preferred name for the gulf. Everybody else will surely keep calling it Gulf of Mexico. I sure will. 

The Gulf of Mexico is mostly international water and a fair bit of Mexican territorial water. If the American President does not like the Mexico part of the name, he should still let it be. There are things to rename inside the borders instead. New Mexico can be renamed New America.
