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.

North mexico.
Maybe his dumb tariffs will encourage more local industry and less reliance on the economic behemoths like us china etc.
Better yet, name Canada North Mexico
Please don’t call South Canada that
How about Mexico and Canada meet in the middle?
The border between Greater Mexico and South Canada should be placed along the tornado alley
Canada’s toilet.
Where Canada dumps and mexico throws up.
Canada’s shorts
This is not economically viable concept.
You know they won’t though
So fucking stupid. He’s dragging world leaders down into schoolyard arguments.
That’s his schtick. Turning politics into a comedy where he’s the star of the show. Idiocracy was a prophecy.
He is undermining trust and alliances between Western nations. You don’t have to put in much thought to figure out whose interests that serves.
Daddy Putin proud!
and oligarchs
You think they should let him say and do whatever he wants? Our judicial system did that many times and that’s how we got more of him. I’m glad at least others are willing to stand up to him and call out his bullshit.
Show me where i said he should do and say whatever he wants.
You didn’t - that’s why I asked you so you had an open opportunity to support what you meant…
No, you directly questioned me on people letting Trump do and say anything he wants, when I never sais anything like that.
I don’t know what you want me to expand on. My statement wasn’t a puzzle. I wasn’t debating anything.
Alta Mexico
Baja Mexico
Maybe Cheech and Chong could give us a Mexican America song before they die.
Way back in the 80s, Cheech Marin made a movie where he was a citizen who was accidentally deported. It was a comedy then. It will be reality for a lot of brown citizens soon. And possibly not all that accidentally.
