From the comments:
Even if such legislation is passed, it doesn't bind anyone else. And I suspect the world would continue using the name Gulf of Mexico.
This is the truth. This entire topic is a waste of resources and goodwill. (Whatever goodwill remains to the Trump team after the H-1B debacle.)

Of everything going down at this point in time, I'd agree renaming the Gulf seems a low priority. For some reason Trump is pushing it, I don't think he has voiced the real reason.
it doesn't bind anyone else
Much like China and (((friends))) call Taiwan "Formosa" and the Taiwan Strait "Formosa Strait" or "Strait of Formosa"?
goodwill
Goodwill? We have received everything (drugs, invaders...) but Goodwill in the Gulf. We have none left to give.
This is an interesting preliminary exercise in America stretching its long unused muscles. I'm not sure exactly what Trump really intends to accomplish here but he thinks it's important. God help those countries that make Trump flex American economic muscle.

I don't get it either, but I guess we'll wait and see.

Fuck 'em. If he's really America First he'll flex them as hard as he can.
Yeah, we need to stop sending billions of dollars to countries that hate us...
I agree. Stop screwing around with things that don’t matter
