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?

Slow news day? The economy is about to fall off a cliff.
> 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.
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.

Has anyone checked if Trump thinks he’s talking about favorite sport? I can understand if he wants to call it golf of America.
5 years later, I still make new repos with "master" branches and call it the "master bedroom"
