What gives the President of the United States the power to change the name of an international body of water that has been internationallt recognized for hundreds of years? Trump's arrogance is psychotic, Will he rename earth next? Hey let;s rename the sun! We could call it Eric to make up for the favoritism Donald always had for Don Jr.

Getting back to Trump renaming Earth. How about laeviculus? (that's clueless in latin)

#3: Hi Danni: I guess you missed this Executive Order from Dotard Trumpf:

"By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered:

Section 1: Each planet in the solar system will be renamed the following: Mercury shall now be called Tiffany, Mars will be Don Junior, Venus shall be Ivanka, Jupiter will be Donald, Uranus will be Melania, Neptune will be Eric, Pluto will be Jarred, and the Moon will be renamed Barron.

It is in the best interest of the Nation to waste time, money, and resources on these megalomaniacal and frivolous contrivances to soothe my over-inflated ego and throw my cult followers red meat to go along with their Kool Aid.

My Administration will work hard to make the United States the most idiotic and untrustworthy nation in the world while pilfering its wealth on behalf of the oligarchs and Vladimir Putin, and helping Israel rid itself of Palestinians.

The United States Space Force (an imbecilic and unnecessary branch of the US military I established during my first reign of terror) shall provide funding for publication of this order in the Federal Register."

(Signed)
Dotard Trumpf
THE WHITE HOUSE,
May 8, 2025.

Spokesman for the United States Fifth Fleet, On May 7, 2025, U.S. officials reported that President Donald Trump had decided that the United States would refer to the Persian Gulf as the "Arabian Gulf" or the "Gulf of Arabia" and had plans to make it official during a planned visit to Saudi Arabia later in May.

The "Alsatian" is another name for the German Shepherd Dog, and is seldom used anymore - it was a name imposed on the German Shepherd during WWI or WWII by the British, because everything "German" was despised.

French fries would become "freedom fries," French toast "freedom toast." According to the New York Times, "The action was unilateral."

How about the evolution of terms for Black People?
(can I use that one? or has it been superseded?)

New horse for that: Trump! Don't I.D. ME! (Pluto don't count any more)

"This is hilarious ... "

Actually it's embarrassing to watch our President act this way.

But yeah hilarious to the rest of the world.

Cool, we can add even more tax expense to this unimportant ego flex.

I can tell that's fake because it doesn't include Saturn. Or Elon.

Anyway, as to the original post-
it's a good example of a stupid frivolous lawsuit that could never be proved and incurs no damages and would never be enforced etc, plus leave it to the guardian as a typical snaggletoothed british tabloid always ALWAYS trying to shove a stick into America's spokes whenever possible, nothing is too trivial for the perpetually butthurt brits to amplify.

kinda ridiculous to try and change the name in the first place though.

Fat Donnie Loser is a ------- idiot.

#16: Good catch! "...and Saturn will be renamed Felon Musk..."

#19 | Posted by C0RI0LANUS at 2025-05-11 11:45 PM

Why not Gulf of the Americas?
