    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.

    “My legacy as a pedo failure is cemented. The only thing I can do to change that historically is land expansion. I’m too stupid and inept to actually do that, so I’ll just change the names on maps in my own country.”

    Maybe we’ll have to change the name of the Atlantic and/or the Pacific. Maybe we’ll change them both

    Oh good, we’ll have two “American Oceans” because he’s too fucking stupid and patronizing to think of another name.

    Who cares? Just rename everything to “American XYZ”.

    Genuinely, please stop enabling this shit by posting headline after headline of Trump doing Trump-things to stay in the news.

    I propose that all the other countries in the world rename USA The United Mistakes of America, or maybe just Dumbfuckland.

    Edit: Dumbfuckistan is even better.

    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.

    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.
