Good thing Trump's opinion means nothing then

You're joking right? Sure, his opinions are stupid but I invite you to open google maps and scroll over to the body of water between the US and Mexico.

That's just corporate complacency. Thankfully Google doesn't dictate the names of things, either.

It's the exact opposite of 'his opinions don't matter' though.

For me it says

Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)

Yes. If his opinions didn't matter it would only say 'Gulf of Mexico'.
