Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene took to social media to demand that Congress use "force" in renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

Summary

Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is pushing legislation to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, arguing the U.S. military and taxpayers secure the region, making it “our gulf.”

Greene shared the proposal text on social media, calling for federal agencies to adopt the name change.

She linked the renaming effort to combatting Mexican cartel activity in the Gulf.

Trump supported the name change in a 2024 executive order, but there has been no indication of international adoption, including by the UK.

    At this point the history books will be filled to the brim with stupidity, so I really want future teachers to have to explain “the war of names.”

    I’m imagining them just holding their forehead when they get to it and explaining “…Yes. People worshiped a man that made us go to war over the name of a body of water. They even wanted him to have an illegal 3rd term.”
