President Donald Trump promised to apply MAGA to the Gulf of Mexico by renaming it the ‘Gulf of America.’ Trump went one step further today, giving the Gulf of America its own day. He signed the proclamation while flying over the body of water on his way to the Super Bowl.
Here’s the signing making it official. (WATCH)

One poster asks what this name change means for the American people.

Nothing really but it is MUCH more factual. Always wondered why it was called the Gulf of Mexico when it is surrounded by North America, not just Mexico. Should have been done a LONG time ago.

Trump appears to be doing whatever needs to be done to put ‘America’ on the map - quite literally.
