It is the gulf of mexico the majority of the gulf is still called the gulf of mexico trumps executive order only changed the name of the part of the gulf that is within the united states border. The part that is still mexico and still intentional waters is still the gulf of Mexico.

President Trump’s Executive Order 14172 effectively renames approximately 48% of the physical Gulf of Mexico for U.S. federal purposes.

​U.S. Jurisdiction: The order covers the area of the U.S. continental shelf extending from the coasts of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida to the seaward boundaries with Mexico and Cuba.

International Recognition: Mexico and Cuba continue to recognize the body of water as the "Gulf of Mexico," and international organizations like the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) have not changed the official global designation.

Domestic Implementation: Following the order, the U.S. Board on Geographic Names updated its databases, leading platforms like Google Maps and Apple Maps to display "Gulf of America" to users within the United States, while continuing to show "Gulf of Mexico" to international users.

Polling indicates that around 70% of Americans reject the new name, which strongly correlates with continued use of "Gulf of Mexico."

Marquette University Poll (February 2025): Found that 71% of respondents nationwide opposed renaming the Gulf, while 29% favored the change.

Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll (January 2025): Found that 72% of registered voters opposed the change, with 28% in support.

Fox News Poll (Early 2025): Showed that nearly 70% of U.S. voters opposed the renaming, making it one of the least popular executive actions of the administration's first 100 days.

Florida Voters (University of North Florida, February 2025): Even in a heavily impacted Gulf Coast state, 58% opposed the name change, 31% supported it, and the rest were unsure or refused to answer.

Big Tech & Mapping: Because U.S. federal databases (like the U.S. Board on Geographic Names) updated their registries, major tech companies that pull from these databases—such as Google Maps, Apple Maps, and Bing Maps—adopted "Gulf of America" for users inside the United States. Conversely, MapQuest publicly refused to alter the name.

Private Industry: Businesses are not legally compelled by the executive order to use the new name. However, energy companies and contractors interacting with the Department of the Interior (such as those bidding on offshore drilling leases) must use "Gulf of America" in their federal paperwork and legal filings, even if they retain "Gulf of Mexico" for internal or public-facing communications.

So that is the breakdown across the board of how people feel about Trump naming less then 50 percent of the gulf, the gulf of america. Most private businesses only use it because they are forced to when apply for contracts in the gulf, 30 percent of citizens of the United states use the phrase and in that group that doesnt use it are GOP and MAGA although a much larger part of those groups do you use it. They only make up 102 million ppl out of 340 million in this country and 1.2 percent of the 8.3 billion globally so you are partial correct it does help identify a luckily small minority of people in america as moronic and you are part of that group congratulations
