Summary
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum mocked Donald Trump’s proposal to rename the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America” by suggesting the U.S. be renamed “Mexican America.”
“It sounds nice, doesn’t it?” she said, pointing to a 17th-century map showing California, Texas, and Arizona once belonging to Mexico before the Mexican-American War (1846–1848). She also noted the Gulf of Mexico has had its name since 1607.
Sheinbaum warned new U.S. tariffs would prompt reciprocal measures.
While advocating for cooperation, she emphasized Mexico’s sovereignty and its historical ties with the U.S.

Kinda like west Taiwan.
This shit is so childish…except trump thinks it’s all real and serious while Mexico is just “¡El burro sabe más que tú!”
North mexico.
Maybe his dumb tariffs will encourage more local industry and less reliance on the economic behemoths like us china etc.
Please don’t call South Canada that
Canada’s toilet.
Where Canada dumps and mexico throws up.
How about Mexico and Canada meet in the middle?
Canaxico
The border between Greater Mexico and South Canada should be placed along the tornado alley
Canada’s shorts
Better yet, name Canada North Mexico
You know they won’t though
This is not economically viable concept.
If Mexico was organized and had leadership like Canada, the Blue States would have two excellent choices to leave the USA. Fix Mexico!!!
No we wouldn’t because you can’t just walk into another country and live there. Look at how much the US loses our minds when people from other countries do that here.
We have to fix our braindead conservative family members, not wait for Mexico to resolve all its issues.
Alta Mexico
Baja Mexico
Maybe Cheech and Chong could give us a Mexican America song before they die.
Way back in the 80s, Cheech Marin made a movie where he was a citizen who was accidentally deported. It was a comedy then. It will be reality for a lot of brown citizens soon. And possibly not all that accidentally.
