Governor Ron DeSantis issued Executive Order 25-13 this Monday, declaring a state of emergency in Florida due to a powerful weather system sweeping across the state. The order raised eyebrows and stirred patriotic applause by referring to the “Gulf of America” in its opening line—a nod to President Donald Trump’s stated intention to rename the Gulf of Mexico in what he promises will be another bold step in reclaiming America’s greatness.

“An area of low pressure moving across the Gulf of America, interacting with Arctic air, will bring widespread impactful winter weather to North Florida beginning Tuesday, January 21, 2025…” the executive order begins. DeSantis, ever the pragmatic leader, laid out measures for disaster response and mitigation. The state’s Division of Emergency Management was tasked with coordinating relief efforts and executing Florida’s Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan.
President Trump echoed the sentiment during his Monday speech, declaring, “A short time from now, we are going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.” His comment wasn’t just about a name change—it was a symbolic act meant to assert national pride and remind Americans that this country doesn’t bow to outdated globalist narratives. Trump, who had just announced the return of hostages from the Middle East, added, “America will reclaim its rightful place as the greatest, most powerful, most respected nation on earth.”
The audacious renaming proposal predictably sent the Left into a tizzy, but the humor of it wasn’t lost on Hillary Clinton, who reportedly laughed off the remark. Of course, one can’t help but wonder if that laughter was masking a twinge of bitterness from a twice-failed presidential candidate who still hasn’t figured out how Trump keeps winning.
Meanwhile, DeSantis’s executive order and Trump’s “Gulf of America” declaration symbolize more than just bureaucratic maneuvers or offhand quips—they encapsulate a movement determined to prioritize American interests unapologetically. While Democrats hem and haw about climate jargon and virtue-signaling agendas, Republicans are focusing on what matters: protecting communities, restoring national pride, and reclaiming the respect this country deserves on the world stage.
The “Gulf of America” isn’t just an idea—it’s a statement. It’s about saying that America is done taking a backseat. Let the Democrats laugh; they always do until it’s time to deliver results. That’s when the joke’s on them.
