Trump vows to rename Gulf of Mexico 'Gulf of America': 'Has a beautiful ring'

Donald Trump continued menacing the United States' North American neighbors during a rambling news conference at his home at Mar-a-Lago Tuesday.

The president-elect has threatened to impose tariffs on Canada and Mexico, as well as other trading partners, and he vowed that he will be soon renaming the Gulf of Mexico during his speech Tuesday morning. It follows floating the idea of merging with Canada.

"Something's going to have to be done [about Canada], same thing with Mexico," Trump told reporters. "We have a massive deficit with Mexico, and we help Mexico a lot. They're essentially run by the cartels, and I can't let that happen.

"Mexico is really in trouble, a lot of trouble. Very dangerous place, and we're going to be announcing at a future date pretty soon. We're going to change because we do most of the work there and it's ours. We're going to be changing, sort of the opposite of [Joe] Biden, where he's closing everything up, essentially getting rid of $50 to $60 trillion worth of assets.

"We're going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, which has a beautiful ring."

He added, "That covers a lot of territory, the Gulf of America. 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. They can stop them, and we're going to put very serious tariffs on Mexico and Canada because Canada, they come through Canada, too, and the drugs that are coming through are at record numbers, record numbers. So we're going to make up for that by putting tariffs on Mexico and Canada."
