At least The Worst President Ever didn’t name it after himself, like he’s trying to do with everything else to distract from his endless failures and desperate coverup of all that he did with his best friend Jeffrey Epstein. It will FOREVER be the Gulf of Mexico, and his name and hideous Saddam Hussein golden palace, golden ballroom, and every other monument and participation trophy he’s given to himself will be erased or demolished and returned to it’s former sanity.
