President Donald Trump promised a transition to what he called the “golden age of America” in a number of statements made during his inauguration speech. One of his audacious declarations, in particular, sparked intense public interest and a noteworthy response from Hillary Clinton.
With declarations like “Our sovereignty will be reclaimed,” President Trump pledged to elevate America’s status. We’ll be safe again. We will rebalance the justice scales. “Building a proud, prosperous, and free nation will be our top priority,” he underlined.
Trump listed raising domestic oil production, enacting tariffs that benefit Americans, and sending troops to the U.S.-Mexico border as some of his plans. He then revealed a plan to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, which was a startling turn of events.
Inspiring the wonder and admiration of the entire world, Trump said, “America will reclaim its rightful place as the greatest, most powerful, and most respected nation on earth.” In the near future, he added, “we will be renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America and renaming the great president William McKinley to Mount McKinley, where it belongs and where it should be.”
This statement caused Hillary Clinton to erupt in laughter, and her laughter soon became a talking point.
Reactions were all over social media. “Alright,” one person said. “I could watch this all day,” said another. One viewer commented, “Ah, well, Hillary laughed her heart out when Donnie said he’s going to retitle the Gulf of Mexico, made it worth the watch.” Others found Hillary’s laughter contagious.
Another person said, “We are all Hillary Clinton right now,” which encapsulated the sentiment of many. The idea that Donald Trump could rename the Gulf of Mexico with a single stroke of his pen is akin to living in a parallel universe.
Not surprisingly, Clinton’s response went viral very fast, drawing in viewers from all over the world.
“We now have a government that cannot manage even a simple crisis at home, while at the same time stumbling into a continuing catalogue of catastrophic events abroad,” said President Trump, who also used his platform to criticize previous administrations.
Regardless of your stance on President Trump’s bold proposals, it’s obvious that they have generated a lot of debate and, in some places, even laughter. Many viewers found Hillary Clinton’s response to be a particularly memorable highlight.
