Trump Declares February 9 as ‘Gulf of America Day’ Ahead of Super Bowl
In a surprising announcement made aboard Air Force One during a flight to the Super Bowl, President Trump officially declared February 9 to be recognized as ‘Gulf of America Day.’ This proclamation coincides with his controversial initiative to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, a decision that has sparked various reactions and discussions about ownership and the implications of such a name change. Critics, including politicians and commentators, have questioned the legality and reasoning behind this renaming, while supporters view it as a bold move to draw attention to significant issues in the region. The announcement, made in a light-hearted context related to the upcoming Super Bowl, has raised eyebrows and conversations nationwide regarding geographic nomenclature and political power.
