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.

Kinda like west Taiwan.
This shit is so childish…except trump thinks it’s all real and serious while Mexico is just “¡El burro sabe más que tú!”
North mexico.
Maybe his dumb tariffs will encourage more local industry and less reliance on the economic behemoths like us china etc.
Please don’t call South Canada that
Canada’s toilet.
Where Canada dumps and mexico throws up.
Canada’s shorts
You know they won’t though
Better yet, name Canada North Mexico
This is not economically viable concept.
If Mexico was organized and had leadership like Canada, the Blue States would have two excellent choices to leave the USA. Fix Mexico!!!
No we wouldn’t because you can’t just walk into another country and live there. Look at how much the US loses our minds when people from other countries do that here.
We have to fix our braindead conservative family members, not wait for Mexico to resolve all its issues.
So fucking stupid. He’s dragging world leaders down into schoolyard arguments.
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!
That’s his schtick. Turning politics into a comedy where he’s the star of the show. Idiocracy was a prophecy.
Nah, President Camacho was much smarter and nicer than him.
Fiction has utterly failed to predict how stupid reality has become.
How many stories have we seen where a billionaire ceo becomes president? In fiction, they were always handsome, charming, highly intelligent, so on and so forth. Reality though, oooof.
Back to the Future was close with Biff, although he wasn’t president…yet.
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.
You don’t have to respond at all if you don’t want to. I think we need to challenge Trump on things we disagree with and sometimes that will mean going down to his level.
Alta Mexico
Baja Mexico
Maybe Cheech and Chong could give us a Mexican America song before they die.
