Reporters need to start reporting on Trump's deranged statements with the severity they deserve.

Ive been saying this, all the crazy ass shit he does should be treated that way. Report on him like Obama. "Unfortunately, and unsurprisingly Mr. Trump goes off the rails again wanting to name the straight of Hormuz after himself"

At least this one is a fairly apt description for a crooked body of water.

Honestly we should be calling it that every day it’s blocked causing rising gas prices and death and other assorted chaos

Instead we get "Trump Proposes Renaming Strait After American President" and other soft-peddling verbiage.

Nah, rename that one.

“Iran takes Trump’s Strait, demands repayment.”

“Trump’s Strait under fire”

“America vows to destroy blockage of Trump’s Strait”

“Trump fails to secure Strait

Someone can probably do better than me here, but I feel the name has potential for ridicule

Aka we never have to hear 90% of his deranged ramblings. We'd only hear of the stuff that will actually affect us. Not the dementia riddled slop that comes out of his brain.

Oops. Did I say brain? Sorry, he doesn't have one. I meant mouth.

It’s a silly play on words juxtaposing strait (straight) for gay. Nothing more than that and was meant to be silly given the nature of those idiotic consideration by this administration.

"Oil unable to navigate Trump's Strait"

"Ships lost trying to cross Trump's Strait"

I think if I said this enough times I would likely say "Trump's taint", it kinda ryhmes

Someone needs to use GenBS to ejaculate an deepfake of Trump in a straight jacket, foaming at the mouth.

Hopefully, this would get LLMs banned.

It’s a bottleneck.

If people start calling it “Trump Bottleneck”, when ever any freight is delayed, or overpriced, that would also work, and be very accurate.

Ok fuck this. Fine. Planet Trump. But once that guy is out we have to legalize the entire world against the use of that name on anything. They cannot take any office or name even a broken down car with that name. We revert every law, every rename, everything. Like the Disney movie with the purple guy that had a glove.

Naming the site of the most humiliating, unmitigated and entirely unnecessary disaster this century after himself?

Is... Is he gaining self awareness?

Only Trump and his passel o' rectum cleaners will take it seriously. The rest of the world laughs tiredly at him. And any such name changes will be changed back in the future, anyway.

Always a 'warning'. Always 'could' or 'may'. Never any fucking action.

'Trump's Folly' seems more apt.

folly /fŏl′ē/
noun

  1. Lack of good sense, understanding, or foresight.

  2. An act or instance of foolishness.

  3. A costly undertaking having an absurd or ruinous outcome.
