About that renaming of the Gulf of Mexico..

The Trumpian bozo rolls on. He has no original thought, and he's gonna get us killed.

The Chinese are bullying other countries just because one of the seas is called the "South China Sea," where they claim waters right up to the shores of other countries as their exclusive economic zone. So, what's the idiot thinking? Rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, and then just take it all?? He's such an embarrassment.

Because Fuckhead and his shitty news network are the kind of sick, sadistic asshole who would do such a thing. And they succeeded.

I'm sure China, DPRK, Hungary and Russia will follow though to stroke Trumps micro-shroom.

Does that mean:

1. He has delusions that the U.S. "owns" that body of water as U.S. territory?

2. And if it's U.S. territory, would the U.S. (Trump) restrict navigation of other countries?

3. Would the U.S. charge for use of those waters?

4. Would the U.S. consider an unauthorized use of those waters as an "invasion"?
