Yes, the president can rename geographic regions by executive order, and yes, according to ABC News, that's exactly what Trump will do with one of his first executive orders, renaming the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of America."
During his January press conference at Mar-a-Lago, Trump declared he would change the name, saying the gulf is currently run by cartels and that 'it's ours.'
'We're going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, which has a beautiful ring that covers a lot of territory, the Gulf of America,' Trump said. 'What a beautiful name. And it's appropriate. It's appropriate. And Mexico has to stop allowing millions of people to pour into our country.'
