AS DONALD Trump enters his third day in office several executive orders are already kicking in - with the so-called "Gulf of America" now appearing in official documents. And offices set up as part of federal diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI) efforts are already being closed down after the Maga leader waged war against the "dangerous" measures.

Within hours of being sworn in on Monday Trump, 78, signed a slew of executive orders and pardons in what was dubbed a "shock and awe" effort. Some of them targeted diversity initiatives aimed at hiring practices that Trump described as "dangerous, demeaning and immoral".

He also axed several other orders promoting equality for members of the LGBTQ+ community, DEI measures in healthcare and signed a new one claiming there are only two genders. Meanwhile Florida became the first US state to describe the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America" in a weather alert this week.

It read: "An area of low pressure moving across the Gulf of America, interacting with Arctic air, will bring widespread impactful winter weather to North Florida...". And the US Coast Guard did the same in an official press release that read "The maritime border between Texas and Mexico in the Gulf of America... ".

Trump signed an order on Monday decreeing that the ocean basin would be renamed. Bordered by the US Gulf coast, Mexico’s eastern states and Cuba - the Gulf is a key point for fishing, transport, oil and gas production. Earlier this month he claimed the name change would be acceptable "because we do most of the work there, and it’s ours".
