Although the first to implement the change, Google Maps is not the only
one. Apple Maps and Bing have subsequently also followed suit, with both
now displaying the Gulf of Mexico as 'Gulf of America.'

 Here in UK Google shows Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America): Bing is still Gulf of Mexico.

   The Googlites are shameless. They probably want Trump
to threaten the EU over EU crackdowns on Google. Does
a US president have the right to rename geography? It turns
out that Trump is exposing a lot of ambiguous areas where
the president's power is not clear. The 2025 Project people
have had several years to set up this attempt to take down
American democracy. But maybe it's for the best. We shouldn't
have such glaring ambiguities that allow for a democracy in
name only. (I'm reminded of Watergate. The takedown of Nixon
was not a foregone conclusion.)
