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.

    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.

      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.

      That’s his schtick. Turning politics into a comedy where he’s the star of the show. Idiocracy was a prophecy.

          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.

      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.

          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.

      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.
