Presidential Actions
Gulf of America Day, 2025
February 9, 2025

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

A PROCLAMATION

Today, I am very honored to recognize February 9, 2025, as the first ever Gulf of America Day.

On January 20, 2025, I signed Executive Order 14172 (“Restoring Names That Honor American Greatness”). Among other actions, that Executive Order required the Secretary of the Interior, acting pursuant to 43 U.S.C. 364 through 364f, to “take all appropriate actions to rename as the ‘Gulf of America’ the U.S. Continental Shelf area bounded on the northeast, north, and northwest by the State of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida and extending to the seaward boundary with Mexico and Cuba in the area formerly named as the Gulf of Mexico.”

I took this action in part because, as stated in that Order, “[t]he area formerly known as the Gulf of Mexico has long been an integral asset to our once burgeoning Nation and has remained an indelible part of America.”

Today, I am making my first visit to the Gulf of America since its renaming. As my Administration restores American pride in the history of American greatness, it is fitting and appropriate for our great Nation to come together and commemorate this momentous occasion and the renaming of the Gulf of America.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim February 9, 2025, as Gulf of America Day. I call upon public officials and all the people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this ninth day of February, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-ninth.

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check. Conviction. Check.

It’s obvious – his ass has been so chapped for decades by the name of an international body of water that a name change just had to be a priority.

What a putz.

Donald J. Trump@realDonaldTrump

Anybody that’s against Tariffs, including the Fake News Wall Street Journal, and Hedge Funds, is only against them because these people or entities are controlled by China, or other foreign or domestic companies. Anybody that loves and believes in the United States of America is in favor of Tariffs. They should have never ended, in favor of the Income Tax System, in 1913. The response to Tariffs has been FANTASTIC!

Feb 02, 2025, 5:37 PM

…President Donald J. Trump is implementing a 25% additional tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico and a 10% additional tariff on imports from China…

So, why just a 10% tariff for China and not 25%? Would somebody lose money? Just asking.

Marianne Williamson @marwilliamson
Continuing to dump on Trump because of the “eating cats” issue will create blowback on Nov. 5. Haitian voodoo is in fact real, and to dismiss the story out-of-hand rather than listen to the citizens of Springfield. Ohio confirms in the minds of many voters the stereotype of Democrats as smug elite jerks who think they’re too smart to listen to anyone outside their own silo.

A very strange hill to plant your flag on, Mark (r).

Mark Alford (r) [2023 file photo].

Yesterday:

Congressman Mark Alford
[July 1, 2024]
Steve Bannon is a political prisoner.
Biden has weaponized the government against his political opponents, and turned the Department of Justice upside down.
Bannon followed his lawyer’s counsel, and the J6 select committee was illegitimate.
This is a disgrace to our country.

A few days earlier, an order from the U.S. Supreme Court:

(ORDER LIST: 603 U.S.)
FRIDAY, JUNE 28, 2024
ORDER IN PENDING CASE
23A1129 BANNON, STEPHEN K. V. UNITED STATES
The application for release pending appeal presented to The
Chief Justice and by him referred to the Court is denied.

Some of the responses to Mark Alford (r):

Are you planning on doing stand-up when your political career ends? You post some funny stuff.

And after this prison sentence is the trial for defrauding people into donating to build a wall. which he used to live a lavish lifestyle. MAGA…only the best people.

Steve Bannon, Peter Navarro, Michael Cohen, Paul Manafort, George Papadopoulos, Roger Stone, Rick Gates, Alan Weisselberg all sentenced to prison, yes Trump pardoned some of them while Sidney Powell, Kenneth Chesebro and Scott Hall took plea deals to testify against co-defendants. Many other Trump lawyers are also facing serious charges. Meanwhile Trump boasts he hires only the best people. “Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent.” [….]

Let’s not forget America’s Bankrupt Mayor will be having his turn with the “serious charges.”

We now have the great of embarrassment of having Alford in the same breath as Boebert, Greene, and Gaetz.

like Gym Jordan?

Good. You break the law you go to jail.

Congressman Mark Alford did you get your law degree from Trump University?

He should ask for his money back.

Or did he drop out?

Someone who has so little respect for our judicial system does not belong in Congress.

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito in January 2006: “There is nothing that is more important for our republic than the rule of law. No person in this country, no matter how high or powerful, is above the law.”

The party of law and order!!!!

Lies lies lies.

#LockHimUp!

You are a disgrace!

Marky, sit down and shut the fuck up. Bannon isn’t a political prisoner. He was put in jail for failing to follow a Congressional summons. That is called breaking the law in this country. You break the law you do your time.

You’re incompetent and a disgrace.
Not surprised at all by your asinine statement, shilling for crumb.

Congressman Mark Alford, you’re such an IDIOT

You are a delusional supporter of traitors.

The Supreme Court you were licking on for the immunity of your master told Bannon no.

Heh. There’s that.

Mark , I do not think ,your drunk ass friend is liked in the forth district,your need to rest from all your ego lifting,take the day off

Steve Bannon is an adult. He made his choices. Including the choice to defy Congressional subpoenas at the risk of incarceration.
Bannon got what the rule of law proscribed.
It is also what the Rule of Trump always leads to. (The Rule of Trump is that Trump has the Fecal Touch – everything he touches turns to shit.)
And there’s a laundry list of loyal supporters who can tell you the same.

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…

Oh, Mark. You’re a farce.
It’s laughable that you claim Biden is weaponizing the legal system. That’s exactly what Donny did and will do again if elected.
That’s called projection, and you’re very good at it.

I’d say Alford projects often, not that he’s good at it…..

Heh.

Steve Bannon is a criminal who was corruptly pardoned by President Trump. He should have been tried and convicted for the We Build the Wall scam with the three other men who didn’t get pardoned by his buddy, Donald Trump. I suppose that left him feeling like he was above the law and so he ignored a subpoena from Congress. No one is above the law, Mark. No one.

Well, now, because of the six wingnut majority on the U.S. Supreme Court Donald Trump (r) is.

Oh ffs.

Mark the Supreme Court refused to save him last week. He refused subpoenas from congress of which you are a member of. That same Supreme Court gave your dictator wannabe some immunity. Was that an example of Biden weaponizing the government? If he is manipulating the Justice dept like rump did in office, why didn’t he in his son’s case? Your logic, judgment and morals are seriously flawed Mark. You believe laws only apply to some people and not your cult. You have betrayed your oath of office and I’m ashamed you horribly represent us in Missouri.

4th Congressional District, convicted felon, Donald Trump, dumbass, former newsreader, hypocrite, Mark Alford, missouri, right wingnut, social media, sycophant

Mark Alford (r) [2023 file photo].

This evening:

Congressman Mark Alford
[May 30, 2024]
I STAND WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP
President Trump was wrongfully prosecuted and wrongfully convicted by a deeply corrupt and compromised District Attorney Bragg and Judge Merchan.
I’m confident these convictions WILL be overturned on appeal.
This is a disgrace and election interference at the highest levels. To put it simply, if President Trump was not running for election, these charges would never have been brought against him.
This sham prosecution is a stain upon the entire judicial system, and those involved should be held accountable.
This is further evidence of the two tier system of justice in America. Not only was President Trump not afforded due process, but normal judicial procedures were also not followed. This was all done with one goal in mind: to re-elect Joe Biden as President of the United States.
The American people see that this farce is 100% political and orchestrated to take down a former President — and the current leading candidate for President, Donald J. Trump.
We know the TRUTH – that they are not just coming after President Trump. They are coming after the hardworking patriots who support President Trump, and trying to silence the voices of “We the People.”
We know that President Trump is innocent! And that come next January he will be the next President of the United States, and once again sit behind that Resolute Desk and be the resolute leader that we want and need.
May God bless President Trump and his family, and God bless the United States of America!

Dumbass.

Some of the responses:

Then you stand with s convicted felon.
You stand with an amoral man who cheated on all three wives. He is a liar and a cheat.
You are the company you keep.

Liar. Trump is reaping what he sowed for decades and the ONLY reason he wasn’t tossed UNDER the jail is he’s a bloviating loud-mouth mobster FORMER Pres. He got more “due process” than ANYONE EVER. 23 CITIZENS indicted him and 12 CITIZENS convicted him.

What evidence would change your mind, Mark?

Nothing, evidently.

“Make America Great Again” – in Russian.

If you have evidence that there was wrongdoing, you need to present it. It is incredibly irresponsible to make statements that are not based in fact. Your guy was found guilty x 34. He’s going to Appeal, his attorneys have been preparing for that from the beginning. Based on what evidence the jurors asked for, while deliberating, they wanted to get it right. Trump stacked the courts with Judges, so maybe the verdicts our overturned on Appeal. Today though, he was found guilty on 34 felony counts by a jury of his peers who saw and listened to the evidence presented by both sides.

Agree. Mark Alford has officially accused a DA and a Federal judge of corruption on his official page. Wouldn’t it be fun to see Alford rung up on defamation charges.

Don’t be ridiculous! He was found guilty by a jury, based on the evidence presented. Why can’t the GOP tell him to step aside, so they can have a candidate that is not a convicted felon.
Felons cannot serve in the military, how can we have one as Commander in Chief?

No one is above the Law! Justice prevailed!!!

I believe in law and order. And the American justice system.

Remember when Trump said Hillary should drop out because she was under investagation?
The GOP is no longer the party of law and order.

You stand with the convicted felon, Donald J Trump. Remember when the GOP claimed to be the party of law and order and being tough on crime. Remember when looking soft on crime put you at risk of not being elected? It’s so cool to be contrary.

MAGA is choking the life out of the GOP.

As an elected official you took an oath of office to support the laws of this country. Instead you choose to support a criminal who has shown repeatedly that he has zero regard for the laws and in fact considers himself above the law. That’s reprehensible.

It is sad to see you supporting the most disgusting human to ever seek public office. Trump’s disqualification for public service is not about politics, it’s a matter of basic morals and human decency.
He is a convicted felon. (Period) He faces 54 additional felonies in three separate jurisdictions that have been slow walked until after the election. He has already lost civil trials and has been ordered to pay a half billion dollars for fraud, sexual assault and defamation. This is not a nice person. Regardless of your politics you should never be associated with such an awful albatross.
Trump destroys every thing he touches.

So, Mark Alford, what penalty should Trump pay for raw-dogging a porn star while his wife is home with his child? Your bible says to stone him to death. Are you prepared to throw the first stone? #useless

Shut the fuck up you pathetic political hack. This verdict will not be overturned. All twelve jurors said he was guilty of all 34 charges. He was found guilty of every charge. There was nothing in this case that would merit the verdict being overturned. Hopefully when sentencing takes place on July 11, he will be put in jail. Commit the crime and do the time. You are an embarrassment to the state of Missouri with your support of a felon, a fraud, and a rapist.

MAGA. = my ass got arrested [….]

So what you are saying is those 12 Citizens, doing their duty, were all wrong. After hearing all the evidence which you have not, are wrong.
That you and every other trumper are ready and willing to support a Known, Proven and Convicted Felon to sit in the oval office and use his powers to further enrich himself and destroy the Constitution. The rule of Law, the judicial system, the Constitution are all worthless and of Zero value because your lying, cheating, thieving, pussy grabber and sexual predator is the best you repubs can come up with.
Seriously? GTFO. Take your slime and lies and slug your way back to your hole.

You are an absolute embarrassment. You are defending a FELON. A grand jury indicted him and a jury convicted him. You were elected to help this country, not to be a pandering liar.

Sorry you support such an evil person, a person so corrupt and morally bereft, a person who undermines the rule of law at every turn. You have no honor.

You’re still wrong, Mark. But keep kissing up to the adjudicated rapist and now convicted felon.

Lock him up!
Isn’t that right party of “law and order”?

So you stand with a known rapist who paid off a porn star to influence a Presidential election???

Trump went from “it’s a victimless crime” to “legal experts say there shouldn’t even be a case” to finally “I don’t even know what they are charging me with”.
Anyone who is a Trumper has to be seeing this and has to scratch their head wondering exactly which one are they supposed to be arguing now.

And that guided missile cruiser didn’t just spring a leak and sink.

Yesterday, from Mark Alford (r):

[image cropped]

Mark Alford
[December 10, 2023]
President Zelensky, the charm offensive and pressure campaign on us in Congress will not work to secure more aide until two things happen:
#1 you tell us what the end game is. What does victory look like?
#2 we start to secure our OWN border with Mexico.
We have authorized and appropriated more than 113 billion dollars so far.
Our taxpayers and our citizens deserve answers and security!!!!
See you Tuesday, Sir.
[….]

Two different issues, dumbass. One having nothing to do with Ukraine.

“…#1 you tell us what the end game is. What does victory look like?…”

How about stopping aggression against a neighboring country by an authoritarian government and leader and deterring it in the future? For starters.

Ahistorical dumbass.

Mark Alford (r) [2023 file photo].

The responses are telling. One exchange:

Mark Alford. why are you supporting Putin against an ally of the United States? Why are you advocating for US boots on the ground involvement in a European ground war, which is EXACTLY what is going to happen if Ukraine falls to Putin? The fact you don’t know this means you either don’t know the basics you need to do your job, or you’re a traitor to this nation in your stand with Putin. Which is it?

A retort:

your a true moron!

You’re.

Welcome to 21st Century America.
