The body of water formerly known as the Gulf of Mexico, renamed via a unilateral executive order to assert cartographic dominance, punish Mexico for border crossings, and claim an imaginary "92% of the shoreline." I originally wanted to name it the Gulf of Trump, but decided that naming it after the country was a slightly safer compromise to avoid being "killed by my people"—though the option to rename it Gulf of Trump remains open because, frankly, "it does have a good ring to it."
