President-elect Donald Trump declared his intention to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the 'Gulf of America,' citing the US's significant contributions to the region. This proposal echoes a similar, satirical attempt by Democratic Representative Steve Holland in 2012, which aimed to rebuke anti-immigrant legislation in Mississippi. Trump's announcement follows a string of controversial foreign policy pronouncements, including plans to buy Greenland and make Canada the 51st state.

The Democrat explained at the time that the GOP appeared to want to push anything Mexican out of the state, so renaming the body of water would help with that cause. He later clarified that it was satirical.'This new majority goes against a lot of the tenets of New Testament Christianity that I've based 29 years of legislation on,' Holland told NPR at the time. 'They want to kick immigrants out of the state, they want to take them off this, they want to drug test Medicaid people.
