The knowledge of certain principles makes knowing certain facts unnecessary. For instance, if you know that it’s generally cold in Montreal in January, you won’t need to conduct research on whether to bring summer sandals on a trip there. You also know that Canada is a country with a developed economy, so even of you fail bring something important, you’ll easily buy it there.
Once you know about the nation-state, why it’s needed, what its trajectory has been, and what the alternative looks like, you can easily answer whether renaming the Gulf of Mexico into the Gulf of America is a good idea and even why the idea appeared at this point in history. All you need to understand such situations and decide your approach to them is to figure out how you feel about the nation-state. Once that is done, you have your answer about a whole lot of things already provided. You won’t have to decide on a case-by-case basis about this, the defunding of the police, the open borders, the 1619 project, and so on. You’ll have a principle to guide your judgment. Most importantly, you won’t have to base your approach on political partisanship.

My $0.02 on this, is that the renaming of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America is a distraction via riling up the leftists. After all, the the media is too busy railing against that, then less time will be spent trying to drum up opposition to things that matter more.
That or he is just trolling everyone.
Honestly either way it doesn’t really matter. As someone who is very pro nationalist, I am quite pleased with a lot of things President Trump is currently doing. I am tentatively optimistic at how things are going. (Tentatively because I remember his first term and how exactly we found out just how bad the swamp was.)
While I don’t particularly care about the name change, if that is included in the package to get the country back to law and order. Well I can certainly live with having to remember to call The Gulf of America by its new name.
P.S. : Though honestly I think calling it something other than The Gulf of America would have been better. The Gulf of Warm Shores for instance has a nice ring to it I think.

With all of the name changes that the lefties have pushed on us over the last fifteen years, maybe some of them will reflexively discover that they are against it now that Trump is doing it. I never expected the slogan “my body, my choice” to bite the dust the way it did but here we are.
It would be great to see a surge of Mexican pride similar to what happened with the joke about making Canada the 51st state.

I think president Trump wants to change Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America for two reasons.

Dunno that we’ll get used to calling it that, ever.
But then… we live here. It’s just “the Gulf” anyway.
As in: Is that beach on the Gulf side, or the Bay side?
Saigon has been Ho Chi Minh City for most of living memory now. People who live there still call it Saigon.

I’m fine with Gulf of America, but Lebensraum 2.0 is not okay.

“Gulf of America”
As political trolling the left (think you’re the only ones who can rename things, punks?) it’s okay.
On the other hand, I can’t perceive any effect this has on the US as a nation state either way, so…. whatever. Getting worked up either way seems like a waste of time.
I’ll still call it Gulf of Mexico, or as methylethyl says…. ‘the Gulf’.
