I don’t know which is worse. That he is a twat, or that Google think their renaming something on their maps actually means anything (as he obviously does).

    You know, renaming random things is something obscure dictators do, only Trump isn’t renaming cities or months, he’s renaming oceans and seas.

    How long until Trump renames Washington DC to “Trump”?

        I would argue he is also very much not a reliable source, but your point is taken, and in today’s world it’s becoming increasingly difficult to know what a reliable source even means.

        … I am yelling at people to do their due diligence, not doubt fact.

        Using outlets that report non factually when they do will build trust for when they misinform.

      If you read the article text, he’s telling people at a rally that he asked Google’s CEO to do it and they said no.

      Now, I’d take anything Trump says about deals and interactions with anyone else with a large grain of salt, as he’s pretty flagrantly lied in the past, but even if taken at face value, he’s saying that his request didn’t go through.

        Doesn’t really apply in this case. Either option, 1) Trump asked or 2) Trump lies about asking, are pretty much equally bad. Trump is proven unfit to manage a McDonalds in either case.

        Now Trump claiming someone else said is always worthy of skepticism. Especially when it is someone not aligned with Trump.

    He’s gotta be fucking with us. Nobody can be that daft. He has to know all that shit will be removed once we get rid of his ilk.

      Are we sure about that though? Did the Patriot Act get removed once Bush was done? Opposition politicians might be watering at the mouth over these new uncontested powers.

        There’s a difference between between a law that passed congress and was signed by the president and an executive order/personal request from the president.

          Do you really think the current democrats are going to get rid of any of this shit? They didn’t even undo any of his toxic appointments from his first term. As soon as he’s out of power they’ll be like “we have to respect his legacy to ensure a smooth transition of power blah blah blah.” None of this shit is ever getting changed back

    That’s what you get for bowing to trump on Lake Ontario and the Mexican Golf. The orange turd will assume he can ask you to do anything for him.

    When Google and Apple immediately rolled over on command and changed the last two names (Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario) they had to know this would only encourage him and lead to things like this.

      The normal people here see it clearly and are horrified. The conservatives are the ones who don’t see or don’t care. They love all of it except the gas prices. In fact, many conservatives are mad he’s not more authoritarian and violent.

      Conservatives were promised blood and they won’t be satisfied until they have it. Our civil war was never properly finished. We allowed many of the traitors to live and now we have concentration camps because of it. The traitors need to be properly dealt with.

    I think we should name way more things after him: The Donald J. Trump Dump and the Donald J. Trump-Chicken Farm. Trump-Diarrhea though this might also be the Robert F. Kennedy Diarrhea. A Ship being hit with a mine shall be known as a Trump-Maneuver. Going bankrupt is just “Trumping”.
