In his first month as POTUS, Donald Trump has released a wave of regressive executive orders, temporarily frozen essential federal funds, and instated Elon Musk as a de facto czar of federal employees. His policy announcements have targeted LGBTQ communities, so-called "DEI" policies, and federal agencies tasked with humanitarian aid and national health and security. Along with these alarming moves, Trump also took aim at a lesser-known evil: the name of the body of water off the southeastern coast of the United States.
What was once (for centuries) the Gulf of Mexico is now being referred to in 1984-style double speak as the "Gulf of America."
Tech companies did little to push back on the name change. Google announced, almost immediately, that it would change the title in Google Maps, and Apple followed suit not long after. But a new extension for Chrome users, titled "FixTheGulf", may help users fight back instead.

Created by modder and iOS developer Bryce Bostwick and uploaded to GitHub on Feb. 15, the extension restores (or, as Bostwick says, "reclaims") the Gulf of Mexico title to Google Maps with the click of a button. A simple, but impactful, use of digital tools to defy the Trump administration's aggressive policy push.
"There are a lot of scary executive orders being issued right now," the extension's download page reads. "This is not one of the most important ones. But it might be the easiest to defy." Bostwick breaks down exactly how it works — and how interested developers can build their own — below:
Imagine having such a small... "Hand" that you have to rewrite the map. All the maturity of a lifted truck with truck balls. And somehow less useful.
ReplyDeleteOh so dems can rename whatever they want but Trump can't? Double standard again!
DeleteIf a body of water is in international waters he can’t! International is the key here. Trump can rename a body of water inside the United States but not if it involves other nations
DeleteHopefully one for Firefox comes out soon, I'd hate to have to choose between the name of the Gulf and blocking ads
ReplyDeleteI'm going to keep it as Gulf of America so I can LOL every time I see it. It helps offset the horror of everything else President MuskTrump does.
ReplyDeleteNo Firefox version yet?
ReplyDeleteDo what you want, it's still Gulf of America
ReplyDeleteUsername doesn’t check out
DeleteNope. Just because a very petty man says it's so, doesn't make it so to us, or the rest of the world
DeleteI think Depends Adult Diapers should be renamed "Trump Dumpers."
ReplyDelete😂😂😂...LMFAOOOO..
DeleteShould be called the Gulf of BMW because it leaks oil
ReplyDeleteI just looked up Tampa, FL in Google maps, scrolled the map to the right and it showed the proper, historical name of that mass of water, The Gulf of Mexico. The name “Gulf of America” is stupid. The name America refers to the whole mass of land half way between Europe and East Asia, from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego., that Columbus accidentally found for Queen Isabella of Castile. America, that mass of land I mentioned, has several gulfs: the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf of Baja California, the Gulf of Fonseca, the Gulf of Panama, etc. There is no “Gulf of America”. That name is stupid.
ReplyDeleteIndian ocean?
DeleteWill it also change back all of the products labels that were changed due to ignorance
ReplyDeleteLIFE CHANGING APP!!!!
ReplyDeletehttps://media1.tenor.co/m/AgXotvkKO8sAAAAC/wentworth-allie.gif?
But can it change Trump to Harris?
ReplyDeleteI’m working on an app for that!
DeleteOh yeah it’s totally a big enough deal for me to download a chrome extension over it. Cry harder.
ReplyDeleteCan it find all those emails Hillary Clinton deleted or the emails where Biden blackmailed the Ukraine government to get his son a job for millions?
ReplyDeleteHow bout emails where Chelsea Clinton got $80 million plus from USAID
How about if they find your head stuck deep inside Uranus?
Deletesorry I don’t speak tard. It looks like you were saying how much you love Trump
DeleteUnderstandable mistake as he did say Uranus ,
Deletesorry I’m not gay. But thanks
Deletenope. It’s a computer browser.
Deletedon't you think if that stuff existed your genius team of Republicans would have found them by now? It's email. Very easily recovered, if it ever existed. You are a special kind of stupid.
Deletethey actually have started recovering the deleted files from some and it’s getting better.
DeleteThey found the transfer to Chelsea among other crazy things.
DOGE has done great.
The Democrats manipulated race, gayness, trans, global warming, and more so they can rob $$$$ to their personal bank accounts.
Sad
Libs aren’t smart enough to gauge whats stupid or not lol. God Bless You
proof, please. I know muskie says all these things but I haven't seen any of it yet, and you would think big news like that would be easily proved.
DeleteWhat about the emails that Ivanka stored on an unsecure server? What about the money from the Saudis to help fund Trump's first campaign in 2015? What about the billion that Jared got as well?
Deletelies lol. Proven lies just like all that stuff Hillary and the Democrats made up about Russia that they got fined for
DeleteProof that you only believe what you want to believe. Russia? That was proven not to be a lie, and the only thing that kept the Senate from convicting Trump were his loyalists that wouldn't go against him no matter what. The rest of them are the truth as well, but truth isn't what you seek. You simply wish to bend the knee to Felon 47.
DeleteRussia was proven a 100% lie and the DNC was fined and so was Hillary lol.
DeleteYou are lost.
Lollllll.
No use reading anything after that. All your credibility gone lol
Yeah, numerous of those closest to Felon 47 were convicted through this investigation, and it was a "lie". Your denial is strong, and credibility with a MAGA Cultist is worthless anyway.
DeleteBTW the fine had nothing to do with the validity of the Russian connections. It merely had to do with the amount of money spent on the investigation.

ReplyDeleteI am not american so o dont understand why american are not proud to have the gulf be renamed after their country. What am i missing?
ReplyDeleteIt’s due to delusional leftist hate of Donald Trump. They are brainwashed to oppose everything he says and does.
DeleteWell it IS the Gulf of Mexico so whatever 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
ReplyDeleteIt WAS the Gulf of Mexico. Not anymore.
Deletestill is dummy. Donald Trump doesn’t make world decisions. Anyone with a brain can make their own choices who to “follow”
DeleteDefine
ReplyDeletePray, Is This the Full Video of the Incident? https://videyco.id/BreakingNewsUpdate1
ReplyDeleteGood, change the name back to Washington Redskins and the syrup to Aunt Jemima
ReplyDeleteWe should focus more on renaming offensive syrups, military bases, schools and sports teams.
ReplyDeleteWho cares what it’s called?
ReplyDeleteWill it also change back Aunt Jemima, Eskimo Pies and all the other products that were changed from ignorance too?
ReplyDeleteFighting fascism, one day at a time!
ReplyDeleteIt's been the Gulf of Mexico since 1552.
ReplyDeleteWhy are you not proud that it is renamed after america. Arent you american? I dont get it
ReplyDeleteit didn’t need to be changed
Deletethere is no pride in this crap. You don’t”demand” or “take” honor……it is given as a result of your actions.
Delete"America" is not a country. That term wasn't even in common use until the 20th century.
DeleteIt was not wanted, warranted or ethically done. It is a throw in the face to everyone to say, "Look at us, look at us. We own this gulf!!" It was just a decision on a whim which literally does nothing to help the American people. Just because you're an American, doesn't mean you're entitled to anything you want. Apparently, Trump thinks that because he wants something and has money and power, he can just take it and stuff everyone else.
DeleteThat because it’s technically both now. The part that is gulf of America is the part America owns the rest is gulf of Mexico
ReplyDeletedo you not read your own comment ?
Deletewhy do you ask
Deleteare you stupid? No one owns open water…
Deleteok.
