Trump bars AP from Oval Office event for refusing to use "Gulf of America"

[crazed_hoosier2]

I'm interested in some theories as to what Trump's strategy with this sort of thing is.

Clearly it's trolling. Clearly he hates the press. Clearly he's trying to play to the 'Murica! crowd with the Gulf of America thing.

But assuming that he's not just gone full Caligula (which isn't a slam dunk assumption), there has to be some kind of an explanation for what he's trying to accomplish. Is it part of his flooding the zone strategy -- by putting something out there that is at once so stupid and meaningless, but also certain to garner lots of attention?

Is it demonstrating to the press that he knows how to push their buttons and make them dance?

I'm sticking with this explanation.

Not sure, but I do like the change. Gulf of America really does have a nice ring to it.

249 years. Built the greatest civilization in the history of the world. No bodies of water named after the US.

We were better than acts so cheap.

Now here we are. Gird your loins.

The AP is too stupid to be in the Oval Offfice.

Just glancing at a map it appears that we do have more coastline in contact with it than Meh-e-co...

Can't say it bothers me much one way or another but if the Democrats hate it, I'm for it; they haven't been on the right side of history for awhile now...

He's just screwing with his detractors and throughly enjoying it... Like I said: be happy he's not a drinker...
