In response to President-elect Donald Trump's proposal to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the 'Gulf of America,' Texas congressman Dan Crenshaw suggested a unique compromise. Crenshaw shared a map on social media depicting the Gulf of Mexico with the emblem of Buc-ee the Beaver, a popular Texas mascot, replacing its label.
The idea of renaming the Gulf as the 'Gulf of Buc-ee's' gained traction online, with one enthusiastic commenter suggesting the catchy name. Buc-ee's, a well-known gas station and convenience store chain based in Lake Jackson, Texas, has been expanding its presence in the southern United States.
