Part 2/9:
The renaming of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America isn’t just a trivial geographical change; it's a bold assertion of American nationalism, one that underscores Trump's broader ideological framework.

By framing it as the Gulf of America, Trump is not only repositioning a geographical landmark but also reinforcing a narrative that emphasizes American ownership and pride.
