Hillary Clinton's laughter steals the show during Trump's bold Gulf rename speech
Hillary Clinton couldn't stop laughing during Donald Trump's inaugural speech when he announced a plan to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the American Gulf. The situation was captured by cameras.
All living former Presidents of the United States attended Donald Trump's Monday inauguration: George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and the outgoing head of state, Joe Biden. Also present were Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary, who faced Trump in the 2016 elections.
The former rival of Trump reacted with laughter during his appearance. It happened at the moment when the 47th President of the USA announced changes to geographical names.
The President announced the restoration of the former name of the highest peak in America in honour of President William McKinley, under whose administration construction of the Panama Canal began.
Donald Trump also announced that the name of the Gulf of Mexico will be changed.
- In a short time from now, we will be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the American Gulf - said Donald Trump.
At the moment when the President spoke these words, Hillary Clinton burst into laughter. The former Secretary of State tried to hide her head, but she couldn’t conceal her amusement. Everything was caught on camera.
Trump first mentioned that he planned to change the name of the Gulf at the beginning of January. He then stated that the "American Gulf" sounds "beautiful" - reports the TMZ portal.
The President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, then joked about Trump’s plan, suggesting renaming North America to "Mexican America," as this area was called in 1810.
