Hillary Clinton's laughter upstages Trump's bold renaming plan
Hillary Clinton couldn't stop laughing during Donald Trump's inaugural speech when he announced a plan to rename the Gulf of Mexico the American Gulf. Cameras captured the situation.
All living former presidents of the United States attended Donald Trump's inauguration on Monday: George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and the outgoing head of state, Joe Biden. Bill Clinton was also present with his wife, Hillary, who faced Trump in the 2016 elections.
The former rival of Trump reacted with laughter during his speech. It happened when the 47th President of the USA announced plans to change geographic 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 the construction of the Panama Canal began.
Donald Trump also announced that the Gulf of Mexico would be renamed.
- A short time from now, we are going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America - stated Donald Trump.
The moment 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. The cameras captured everything.
Trump first mentioned his plan to rename the gulf at the beginning of January. He said then that the "American Gulf" sounds "beautiful," reports TMZ.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum joked about Trump's plan, suggesting renaming North America to "Mexican America," as this area was called in 1810.
