jesus fucking christ i cannot wait until he finally fucking dies.

Holy Shit! I have been saying he was going to rename New Mexico as New America as a joke! I can't believe he actually IS that insane.

I'm writing this from the future, October 2028, from my desk on America St., America, in America County, capital of the state America, in the America-West region of America, to issue a warning...

I'm considering renaming the United States of America to Cringetopia

Fuck Donald Trump

Send grandpa to bed. Permanently.

I dont know if I could roll my eyes any harder.

I think his obsession with renaming things is so he can have his "legacy" where people a hundred years from now will read in school how the gulf of america used to be called gulf of Mexico until Donald J Trump renamed it.

This way he can do it immediately and without any approvals or permissions from anyone else and it doesn't cost a dime (upfront that he needs permission for, it still costs millions to remake maps and public education posters/billboards and school textbooks and government websites, etc.)

He just doesn't have the foresight to recognize that whatever president comes next will just revert all changes.

We have reached the point where I genuinely cannot tell reality from satire.
"Is this real? Am I eating the onion?"
I don't even know anymore.

Those who accuse someone of having Trump derangement syndrome should be called pedophile defenders.

Also, the US: "the UN should spend their time doing other things than worrying about maps."

So, if the USA is so great, then why did they make USB?

He should change the name of the "United States of America" to the "American Americas of America"

I posted this somewhere last week but it's just as relevant here:

I listened to this podcast recently:

Well, so we know we went and saw him in the middle of the war. I mean, early stages of the war, very intense period of the war, about two weeks and a bit into the war with Iran. And he the thing he first thing he wanted us to see, he was holding up photographs of maple trees. And he's saying, you know, I'm buying these maple trees for the White House. Turns out I'm good at buying trees. And then underneath it were photographs of the ballroom and the columns. He wanted us to know the columns are, I think, bigger than the Supreme Court's columns or more of them or what have you. And one side was inspired by Athens and the other side by Rome. This occupied probably first 15 minutes of our time with him before we got to anything to do with the Iran war.

and earlier ...

It's truly an inordinate amount of his time is spent redecoration, renovation, the ballroom, but also building monuments and naming things after himself. It's become an obsession. And we have a scene in the book, actually, in the Oval Office last October where he he's talking to a couple of visitors about he wants to build essentially a replica of the Arc de Triomphe in Washington, which they call internally the Arc de Trump. You know, he's got different models of it. There's a huge one, a middle one, a small one. You know, he wants it to be bigger than the Lincoln Memorial. Anyway, he's in the room with some of his agents. He says, let's call Emmanuel. Let's call Emmanuel. Ask because he had some questions he wanted to know about the Arc de Triomphe, which presumably he could have just Googled. [...] But instead, he gets Emmanuel Macron, the president of France, on the speakerphone. And he starts asking Emmanuel, you know, does your arch have a viewing platform? Do people jump off it? You know, all this. How big is the arch? You know, all these sort of questions about the arch. So I just there's no way that I can overstate how much time is spent on these matters.

(emphasis added)

That last sentence has really stuck with me.

Renaming bodies of water is incredibly stupid, but the names were arbitrary to begin with and probably not legally binding.

States have their own sovereignty, constitutions, and laws. You can’t overcome that with an executive order. You shouldn’t be able to overcome that with an act of Congress signed by the president.

Oh and how about the gas prices soaring due to shortages, because he fucked up in Iran when thinking that would be another distraction?

He is the dog that finally caught the car. He never knew why he chased it, just that there was a need within him to chase it. And because he expended so much effort into chasing the car he now needs to demonstrate to all the other dogs that he totally knew what he was doing the whole time and even more totally knows what a car is and what to do with it.

This is why he doesn't actually do anything truly "presidential." His idea of being president is the same as when my kid was 8 and said "if I'm ever president, I'm gonna..." and then some cute but completely totalitarian nonsense comes out their mouth. Just as he's the poor man's idea of a rich man, he's a child's idea of the president.

Someone made a joke about this when the Lake Ontario shit was happening. Now their joke is becoming reality.
