He should totally do it. At that point, it'll become clear that maps that hold to the new US standard are going to a) have to be constantly changed, and b) will become increasingly useless. Then everyone who actually cares about geography can just commit to buying maps that adhere to different standards. I'd say Canadian map standards or European map standards but I bet there are plenty of academic map standards still in the US that refuse to engage in Trump's whimsy, no matter how official it might be. |

Canada should rename the US Baja Canada.
If Canada would please do a bloodless annex of the west coast, I'd be grateful. I'm sure plenty of Washington, Oregon and California are eager to go along. |

This ongoing obsession of his is a huge W for the "America is the continent, not the country" folks. By the time we're through with all this, no-one is gonna want to use the name America for anything. America? I don't know her; I live in the EU (los estados unidos) thank you.

Mountain ranges with names that are harder to remember and pronounce than "Rocky" are also likely candidates for renaming. Appalachian Mountains, Sierra Nevada, ... |

When I lived in Orlando there was a place called downtown Disney. The renamed it to Disney springs. All the locals still called it downtown Disney. It’s not easy to just rename something. I can declare from the rooftops that octopus are now called señor Squiggly-doodles but people aren’t going to call it that. It’s still the Gulf of Mexico. It’s still Lake Ontario. |
