Just your daily reminder that the President of the United States is a delusional narcissist with the emotional development of a toddler. |

Let's not call it Lake America or Lake Ontario. Let's compromise. Let's call is Lake Epstein. |

You're delusional. In East America (the old "Europe") we know it's called Gulf of America. Same for West America (Japan) or North West America (North Korea). |

Its the same I declare bankruptcy energy from Michael Scott. You took the map in your own home and wrote over it. What does he think Canadians or the rest of the world are going to do it too? They're simply laughing at us right now. Every time I think we can lose more respect on the international stage they find a way. |

This is your reminder that the president has no enumerated power to name things. The president can say “hence forth Alice and Bob will be known as Art and Betty” and we can all still call them whatever we want. You will not be sent to jail for talking about the Gulf of Mexico since that is what everyone calls it. |

" Trump's executive order on Lake Ontario, one of the five Great Lakes of North America, applies to U.S. federal usage about the lake, and does not govern what Canada, international bodies or other organizations call the lake." Its pretty much just like a tarriff that only Americans have to pay? I think the correct response for Carney would be to rename the USA "Mexico Jr". |

I'm rather tired of this executive order nonsense. Can things really be changed so easily with an EO decree? If so, things are severely broken. |

Having the president replaced with a prime minister elected by congress may happen if the DSA gets their way |

Canada should rename Trump Lake to Lake Epstein, and the island in the lake should be North Epstein Island. |

EOs are meant to be policies or orders on how to manage some power or other that Congress assigns to the president to manage something. They are instructions on how to do something or an order for federal agencies to carry out some action. Trump is just blustering. |

An executive order is a directive to the executive branch of the federal government. Nothing more. The POTUS is given broad discretion over the executive branch under the US constitution. But, executive orders are not laws and do not apply to anyone aside from the people who effectively report the president. Not that directives from the president can't have a tangible impact. They certainly can. This particular tantrum, however, does not and will simply be ignored by everyone else. |

East America is right across the Right American Ocean. |
