I opened Google Maps, found New Orleans, and zoomed out – and the body of water south of Louisiana is called "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)". At least that's what I see from Switzerland. According to several posts I have seen, if you access Google Maps in the United States, that body of water is just identified as "Gulf of America." Presumably, from now on, we can easily identify supporters of United States President Donald Trump, as well as people or organizations that want things from him, when they use that name. Trump supporters who like Steve Earle will have to write new rhymes for his song "The Gulf of Mexico". (Andrew Shields, #111words, 11 February 2025)
