Donald Trump’s presidency is wasting no time with absurdity, and sadly, people are bending their knees to please his ridiculousness.
Google is capitulating to Orange Mussolini and will show US Google Map users the Gulf of America on maps after Trump signed an executive order rebranding the body of water we all know as the Gulf of Mexico.
Google Maps users in Mexico will still see the Gulf of Mexico when they open the app. International users will see both names when they use Google Maps.
Google’s decision comes after Trump went on a renaming spree because he’s a petulant child in a grown man’s body.
“As directed by the President, the Gulf of Mexico will now officially be known as the Gulf of America,” the Interior Department said in a statement.
To justify the decision, the EO claims the area is an “integral asset” to the United States because it produces 14% of US crude oil, has “vibrant American fisheries,” and is “a favorite destination of American tourism.”
The tech giant, which donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration and saw Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai attend the celebration of America’s downfall, said it was following its longstanding policy of aligning map labeling with updates in official government databases.
The Gulf of Mexico Was Not The Only Thing Renamed By A Trump Executive Order
The Gulf of Mexico being stupidly renamed to the Gulf of America isn’t the only thing the Orange Menace renamed via an executive order. Trump reverted the Denali, North America’s tallest peak, back to Mount McKinley, reversing the move by Barack Obama in 2015 as a symbolic gesture to Alaska Natives.
We all know Trump changed the name because he can’t stand Barack Obama because he’s a very petty man.
Buckle up; this is going to be a LONG 4 years.

There’s a “Sticky” situation atop Billboard’s Rhythmic Airplay chart, as Tyler, The Creator’s single, which features GloRilla, Sexyy Red and Lil Wayne, climbs to No. 1 on the list dated Feb. 1.
The new champion is Tyler, The Creator’s first leader on a Billboard radio chart, more than seven years after his maiden airplay entry, “See You Again,” featuring Kali Uchis, debuted on Rhythmic Airplay in 2017. (Tyler, The Creator made his overall Billboard chart debut in May 2011 when his Goblin album arrived on several charts.)
Trending on Billboard
The track advances from the runner-up rank and was the most-played song on U.S. panel-contributing rhythmic radio stations in the tracking week of Jan. 17 – 23, according to Luminate, with a 7% jump in plays compared with the prior week.
“Sticky” knocks Kendrick Lamar’s “Squabble Up” from the Rhythmic Airplay throne after the latter’s two weeks in charge.
With the new champ, Tyler, The Creator achieves his first No. 1 on Rhythmic Airplay with his sixth charting title on the radio ranking. The single is easily his most successful at the format, outdoing his prior career best of No. 12 for “Dogtooth” in 2023.
GloRilla and Sexyy Red, meanwhile, land their second and third leaders, respectively, on Rhythmic Airplay. The women share another No. 1 collaboration, “Whatchu Kno About Me,” which reigned for three weeks beginning last December. In addition to that former champ, Sexyy Red also visited the summit when she and SZA featured on Drake’s “Rich Baby Daddy,” a two-week No. 1 in December 2023.
For Lil Wayne, “Sticky” adds a 13th No. 1 to the rap legend’s ledger, moving him into a tie for the fifth-most leaders in the chart’s history. He matches Bruno Mars and Usher’s career totals, and the trio trails only Drake (39), Rihanna (17) and Chris Brown and The Weeknd (14 each) among all acts since the Rhythmic Airplay chart launched in 1992.
Elsewhere, “Sticky” repeats at its No. 8 peak on the Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart, but improved 8% in plays for the week. It reverses 5-4 on Rap Airplay, though it added 6% in total audience impressions during the tracking week.
“Sticky” appears on Tyler, The Creator’s latest studio album, CHROMAKOPIA, which dropped on Oct. 28, 2023. The set debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with the highest first-week total of the rapper/singer’s career and topped the chart for three weeks.
