I rename the toilet in my home that often clogs, the trump toilet and casino.

And that’s basically it!
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.
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.
"Left Ocean of America" and "Right Ocean of America"
Can't let The (Radical, loony, woke) Left have an entire ocean, though! Rename it to "Port"
/S
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.
Exactly. A toddler with a loaded diaper will smear shit all over the wall if left to its own devices. We get it!
Atlantic Ocean of America
Pacific Ocean of America
"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."
Test results are in, you are HIV America.

:-D

I would like to petition Canada to rename Lake Michigan to Lake Epstein.
Who can we get to rename something to Mar-a-rapes-children?
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.
In Spanish Estados Unidos is abbreviated EE.UU.
Double the letters, double the gooder
Disparos Unidos.
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.
In my neck of the woods, some people call it 'The Land of the Idiot' (in english and all)
The USA has given "America" a negative connotation
Yeah but you already know people from the USA don't consider the rest of the Americas "America"
People from Canada don’t either. I don’t know anyone that would call themselves an American.
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.
I honestly can't hear the word "idiot" or "moron" now without thinking about Trump.
We were so close to not having to deal with his bullshit a second time but nobody wants to put in the range time to do it right.
Omg I just laughed so hard, thank you. I needed that.
hahahaha
wait you're serious. let me laugh even harder
Pacific could be renamed to Ocean of the Warmongering Pedofile.
epsteinlantic ocean and EPSTEINFICIC OCEAN.
Dude is so dumb, at least we can change them back later.
It'll be like cleaning up after a 4-year-long bender. Probably find puke in just as many weird places too.
Does he realise America is a continent? The United States OF THE AMERICAN CONTINENT. USA isn't exclusive to the 50 states it is compromised of. There are 35 counties on the American continent.
Sorry for saying continent so much.
He wouldn't understand. He's incontinent.
which continent? 💩
No. That would require him to understand things.
The guy gets mad at windmills. I don't think there's a lot of geographical trivia going on upstairs.
If it isn't a child, I don't think he focuses too much on it.
I think he's working on that.

Why would he understand how continents work when he's apparently pretty damned incontinent himself (in addition to being incompetent)?. The US people elected him twice. Never forget, never forgive.
Let me guess...big stretch here..."The American Ocean" and "The Freedom Ocean"?
Soon he will rename the whole continent to just "America".
America of America
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.
Mountain ranges with names that are harder to remember and pronounce than "Rocky" are also likely candidates for renaming. Appalachian Mountains, Sierra Nevada, ...
Funnily, all uses of "America" for the whole continent (including the north) are misinterpretations of the original map drawn by Mr Waldseemüller, who invented the name "America" in the first and used it for Brazil.
On the same map some designation for the northern part of the continent can also be found, stating that it was a province discovered by the command of the king of Castille:

So, the only logical step will be to name North-America as "New Castille" from now on, to correct for the screw-up of the post-Waldseemüller map-reading-noobs.
I used to do this for almost my entire life. The orange todler made clean up my act and say US and people of the US instead of America and Americans.
If a German ever tries to explain the meaning of the word Fremdscham to you, this is it.
At this point I'm just mildly shocked he doesn't name it after himself
