“A short time from now, we are going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America,” Trump declared, drawing applause from some sections of the crowd. The statement immediately triggered a wave of reactions online, with supporters praising the nationalist undertone while critics labeled it a symbolic gesture with little practical value.

Trump also promised to restore the name of Mount Denali, located in Alaska, to its former designation, Mount McKinley, in honor of the 25th U.S. president, William McKinley. The change would undo a 2015 decision by the Obama administration to revert to the mountain’s traditional Native American name, Denali, which means “the high one.”
