It is the gulf of mexico. The whole thing is just president musk and vp trump power tripping. Also a distraction from other, much worse thjngs happening right now.
Personally I'd prefer it if they spent all four years renaming things to Mount Hitler or whatever instead of doing anything actual.
That's what my dog does.
He tears into the couch in one side of the house to get you annoyed, then runs to eat cat litter, then runs upstairs to take the kid's toys.
Do enough chaos to get something and tire us out.
OMG, we have to see pics of this cute criminal!
Idk if this is true, but someone brought up it might be related to Biden putting in an order to not allow new drilling in the gulf of Mexico, so to get around it Trump and Co Just renamed it.
Again, no idea if this is true, haven't had a chance to look it up since I heard it an hour ago or so, but it sounds plausible lol
