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).

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

'Trumping' already means 'breaking wind' in the uk.

I think he should get one thing named after him.

A solitary confinement cell at USP Marion can be renamed the Trump Pit.

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"?

First he asks, then he posts on social media and then makes an executive order.

I'm pretty sure he does not know what the C is in DC or he would have renamed it already to A(merica)

Google says they can't do it because it borders multiple countries. Didn't stop them from changing the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario.

Sometimes the smarter move is to continue giving a fool the rope he's asking for...

In this case, I think Google should absolutely humor him, but say an EO is needed to make it happen.

Renaming something on one of the most popular globes in the world IS effectively renaming it and the fact some of you think God is naming things and can’t be undermined is a real problem in your thinking.
