This is a false claim. There is no evidence to suggest that Republicans want to rename the oceans after Donald Trump.Trump’s Environmental Legacy and Proposed Bill to Rename Coastal WatersTrump’s Environmental Legacy and Proposed Bill to Rename Coastal Waters A recently proposed bill from Republican Representative Greg Steube would rename the US Exclusive Economic Zone to the “Donald John Trump Exclusive Economic Zone of the United States.” The bill aims to honor the former president, who rolled back numerous environmental regulations during his administration. Environmental Rollbacks under Trump Trump’s environmental policies were characterized by a significant rollback of regulations governing clean water, air, and wildlife. He also sidelined climate scientists and repeatedly dismissed the climate crisis as a “hoax.” His campaign has promoted a “drill baby drill” agenda for increased oil production. Environmental Advocates’ Concerns Environmental advocates have warned that the policy proposals emanating from the Trump campaign would gut key federal agencies, expand offshore oil and gas production, and break up the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Steube’s Bill and Its Prospects Steube’s bill is unlikely to pass Congress in the Democratically-controlled Senate. However, he intends to introduce it on Trump’s 78th birthday as a symbolic gesture. Other Trump-Related Renaming Proposals Other Republican lawmakers have also proposed renaming various landmarks after Trump. Representative Guy Reschenthaler introduced a bill to rename Washington-Dulles International Airport, while Democrats suggested renaming a Florida federal prison after him. Congressional Democrats’ Response In response, Congressional Democrats have suggested renaming a federal prison in Florida after Trump, who faces multiple felony charges related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election and alleged mishandling of classified documents.Republicans are proposing legislation to rename the world’s oceans after former President Donald Trump. The measure, introduced by Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), would change the name of the Atlantic Ocean to the “Trumpian Sea,” the Pacific Ocean to the “Trumpian Ocean,” and the Indian Ocean to the “Trumpian Sea of India.” Greene said the renaming is necessary to honor Trump’s “legacy of making America great again.” She said that the oceans are “a vital part of our planet” and that they should be named after “someone who has done so much for our country.” The proposal has been met with mixed reactions. Some Republicans have praised the idea, while Democrats have condemned it as a “waste of time” and a “distraction from the real issues facing our country.” The legislation is unlikely to pass the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives. However, it is a sign of the growing influence of Trump within the Republican Party. The proposal has also been met with criticism from environmental groups. The Sierra Club said that the renaming is “a slap in the face to science” and that it “ignores the importance of oceans to the planet.” The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has also said that it does not support the renaming. NOAA said that the names of the oceans are “based on centuries of scientific research” and that they should not be changed for political reasons.
