        You’re right. I researched it, and it was just changed 6 months ago by Trump, who claimed the new name “sends a message of victory”

          No. Trump declared it changed, much like Michael Scott declaring bankruptcy. Until there is an act of Congress changing the name, it is still the DoD, and the Kennedy Center is the Kennedy Center, and so on.

            And it’s still the Gulf of Mexico. I used to call it “the gulf” but now I have to call it the Gulf of Mexico.
