The president of Mexico on Thursday expressed hope that Google "reconsiders" its decision to change its online maps to reflect U.S. President Donald Trump's claim that he has the authority to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico.

Shortly after taking office, Trump issued an executive order announcing he was changing the name of the body of water to the Gulf of America.

For U.S. users of Google Maps, the gulf was listed as the Gulf of America as of Thursday. Google, whose CEO attended Trump's inauguration along with other tech moguls, said last month it has "a long-standing practice of applying name changes when they have been updated in official government sources."

But Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum warned Thursday that her government "will file a civil suit" against Google if it does not revert back to labeling the international body of water the Gulf of Mexico.

Oh yeah, I forgot. Implying people enjoy soy is an insult. Ouch! My feelings.

I never said Dictayorship. Because that's terrible spelling of the only word you needed to spell correctly to actually criticise me. I also never linked the mislabeling of the Gulf as destroying the planet. He is though...

He proclaimed that he will "OWN" Gaza through means of literal ethnic cleansing. He's conspiring with Putin to help finalise his invasion of eastern Ukraine. He's currently purging the Government of minorities and people he deems unloyal. Elon Musk is infiltrating and tearing up government departments as an unelected right-hand entity. His right-wing army are, by algorithm, shifting the western world easily into fascism. I could go on but I'm done with you.

Bottom line... pay attention.

Also... the fact that you put forward Trump was elected by majority of Americans is a straight out lie. Grow up.

Oh, I mistyped a word, while writing on my phone. That means I'm wrong, who did I miss that?!

Its also funny how you say Trump "is infiltrating and tearing down government departments". Bro, he's the president, everything he's doing it's in his powers. Did the previous president also "infiltrate" the government departments?

He's "purging" the DEI hires, the people who are there just because of their skin color or sexual preferences, did you forget how the former white house speaker was "the first gay black woman"? That's the only thing that recomended her.

I'm really curious how Trump being elected by the majority of the Americans is a lie, please enlighten me.
