This is the map of the Gulf of Mexico as seen from outside the US on Google Maps.

Google said it would foist the Gulf of America idiocy only on its US users, but apparently the temptation to flatter His Orangeness was too much, so the rest of the world gets to enjoy it too.

I figured I’d rename it too. I mean why not after all: it seems any idiot can make up geography now.

    Yeah. It isn’t like they are just reflecting Trump’s personal views, the Trump administration officially renamed the Gulf of Mexico legally.

      The thing is like 90% in international waters, who cares if a government renames it the gulf of the the clown car for instance? I hope there’s an international body of geograph somewhere that brings reason to these matters.

        There isn’t.
