?Not that anyone Trump-adjacent would care about facts, but in fact Biden’s order banned oil drilling off the coast of Florida and much of the Atlantic and Pacific coasts under the authority of the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act. He did not (and could not) ban it in the Gulf of Mexico (or even in the Golf of Mexico, which sounds like Trump’s latest resort proposal in Cozumel). Although Trump has issued an executive order to overturn Biden’s order (which will be challenged in the courts) it has nothing to do with the renaming of the Gulf.
But just to keep more on topic, hey, how’s your Apple stock doing since Liberation Day?

?Hi all,
When I went to zoom out on the Weather app, I noticed an otherwise well-known body of water labeled as Gulf of America. <rant>Why, oh why, is Apple (or its app maker) going along with this silly publicity stunt? It brings back the memories of the idiocy of Freedom Fries.</rant>
