Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum says her gov't will lodge a complaint with Google after it changed “Gulf of Mexico” to “Gulf of America” for US users of its map service, adding Mexico will request to rename North America as Mexican America. 

She’s doing a great job trolling the sh!t out Trump.

[Gepetto 1,448]

The Gulf of Mexico has been it's most common name since the mid-17th century, when it was still considered a Spanish sea. French Jesuits used this name as early as 1672. In the 18th century, Spanish admiralty charts similarly labeled the gulf as "Mexican Cove" or "Mexican Sound" (Ensenada Mexicana or Seno Mexicano).

I don't see why it should continue to be named what the Spanish named it and the French Jesuits called it. 

America encompasses both the United States of America and Mexico. 

Trump is President and he can name it. 

If you disagree, oh well, you're not the president, so you'll just have to deal with it.

 He doesn't own the Gulf so he can't just unilaterally change the name and expect the rest of the world to go along with it.

Does that mean Trump can change the name of California too, since he is President and it is of Spanish origin?

I know this is the GC and we all bang 25 yr old supermodels, but I'm 57, and if I saw this 62 yr old sitting at the end of the bar nursing a martini and looking forlorn, I'd give her a "how you doin?"

I would like to see a pic with her hair down, though.

Well, you are from Michigan, so I presume you are looking for a chunkier woman who wants a Euchre partner.

There were complaints about those names, but no one I can remember ever complained about the name of The Gulf of Mexico.

I almost made a similar TRUMP comment about Euchre.

We played it in Western NY as well.   Taught our kids to play along w their SOs.  Good indicator if they are dipshi1ts if they struggle to pick up the rules.

Sadly our daughter and her boyfriend kicked our asses when we were playing this past weekend.

Oh I know the rules.  Just kept getting dealt sh1t. 9s and 10s ain't going to get it done.

We do like this one, and we were impressed at how quickly he picked up the game.  First time we met him was at a brewery so we taught him euchre to keep the conversation light while we played.  Didn't even need to talk much about strategy before he was holding his own.

I told my daughter I would officially adopt him if they break up as he's also a helluva cook.  Prepared Christmas dinner for us - prime rib, etc - as well as a surprise dinner for me on my bday - t-bone steaks and mussels.
