Chuck Schumer says Democrats would support renaming the Gulf of Mexico if Trump works with them to lower costs
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said on Wednesday that Democrats were open to President-elect Donald Trump's idea of renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America."

However, he noted that he'd only do so if Trump works with Democrats on "an actual plan to lower costs for Americans."

"That is what the American people want us to focus on first, not on renaming bodies of water," Schumer said in a floor speech, adding that his party's priorities "are so much more closely aligned with the concerns of the American people than Donald Trump's seem to be.

Trump floated the idea at a press conference at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday, where he also refused to rule out the use of military force to take control of Greenland or the Panama Canal.

The Democratic leader's comments essentially amount to a challenge to Trump to focus on the economic issues that helped him regain the presidency, rather than merely changing names.

We have been thrown overboard.

We are deeply and truly ****ed.


Love how the dems are trying to use the narrative of "merely changing names" because I served on a base in the US Army that apparently no longer exists.  I was stationed at Ft. Bragg, NC.  My son was stationed at Ft. Bragg, NC.  My sons best friend was stationed at Ft. Hood, TX.  I don't think Ft. Hood exists anymore.

I did my basic training, AIT, and Airborne School at Ft. Benning, GA.  I don't think that one exists anymore.

Tell me, was there more important things the dems could have been working on?  Did anyone really give a rats ass about the names of these Army bases?

Go ahead Schumer, tell us about how no one really cares about renaming stuff.

All of this is going to come back to bite them.  Just like hiding Joe's mental disability.  People know what y'all did and it's disgusting.

Lowering costs to the American people and working with democrats are at two polar opposites and to do both is an impossibility.

Also schmuck Schumer is lying piece of shit.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.
