Some of the 200 executive orders Trump has vowed to sign on day one of his presidency during his inauguration speech are deeply concerning, but others are laughable and have drawn mockery from many including Bill and Hilary Clinton.

In the background of the inauguration speech Trump delivered stood former political rival Hillary Clinton, and her husband, Bill. As Trump made his broad sweeping declarations, one, in particular, had them chuckling to themselves.
"A short time from now, we are going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America," Trump decided. This made the whole world chuckle as the ludicrous statement left his lips. Renaming the Gulf of Mexico to something more USA is playground-level nonsense.
Trump Mocked By More Than Just Bill And Hilary Clinton
It wasn't just the Clinton pair that had a good laugh at Trump either. Across the world, he has been the butt of jokes for his claims to rename. Even President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico took the opportunity to take a jab at him.
She referred back to the old maps of North America in which large parts of the US were called Mexican Americana. "Mexican America, that sounds nice, no? He talked about name, we too are talking about the name."
Of course, she was making a joke. She wouldn't waste political time and energy on something so trivial. But, as always, Trump and his ego got the better of him and led him to declarations that have drawn mockery from the Clinton pair, and the world.
Of course, this statement he made is just part of a long list of new executive orders he plans to put in place. There are many much more damaging international orders that Trump is attempting to get pushed through. The ending of birthright citizenship, for instance, will have a significantly bigger impact on the Mexican people than a silly renaming of a body of water.
Although Hilary and Bill can have a good laugh at the expense of Trump on this account, many of his other plans may have far-reaching and huge consequences.
