This is the map of the Gulf of Mexico as seen from outside the US on Google Maps.

Google said it would foist the Gulf of America idiocy only on its US users, but apparently the temptation to flatter His Orangeness was too much, so the rest of the world gets to enjoy it too.

I figured I’d rename it too. I mean why not after all: it seems any idiot can make up geography now.

    Not partially anymore. I just checked my maps and it’s now just the Gulf of America. Where did the constitution give the President that ability again?

      That’s just for Americans. They get to see only the orange propaganda name. Mexico gets to see only the regular name, probably because Google figures Mexico is really salty about the stupid renaming, and the rest of the world sees both name because imperialism.
