That's why I'm surprised Trump didn't sign an executive order to rename the 'Canada goose' bird to 'America goose'.

Is he asleep at the wheel, or how did he miss this opportunity?

Or Lake Ontario to Lake New York.

I always said Canada geese are stealing the American workers' job of last resort: sleeping in the park. He really should do something.

> When the Associated Press announced that it would stick with Gulf of Mexico, Trump blocked AP reporters from the Oval Office

Isn’t more people concerned with how much Trump thinks its fine to poke around with the freedom of press?

Good, renaming it was not the smartest of moves to begin with. Considering it’s a gulf because of the gulf, which is down in Mexico. Our border with it is really like the outer wall of a harbor. It’s only there to guide you towards the end.

Seems to be a pretty even split: https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd....

"Gulf of North America" would make more sense, because most people regard (just) "America" as synonymous with "USA". Though that name would perhaps be more appropriate for the Hudson Bay, which is farther north.

Only people from US think in America as synonymous with USA

I went to a minor national park over the summer (Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park) and there was a map of the United States showing all the national parks in the country with a "Gulf of America" sticker placed over "Gulf of Mexico".

Let's just call it for what it is, The Gulf of The Dead Cat.

"The dead cat strategy is a kind of misdirection where somebody will say something so ridiculous or do something so outlandish that it takes your attention away from where they don't want you to look. ..."

It is really concerning that this post was flagged.

It looks interesting for me and not specially politically oriented or "partisan" but a fun fact with stats.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I have the feeling that it was flagged unfairly to mask the disturbing reality shown by numbers.

There is a sustainable censorship campaign running on HN. Everything that makes government looks bad or is contrary to government beliefs gets flagged
