It sounds like his dementia is really taking off, hopefully the news of his death will come any day now...
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.
Taco of Hormuz
Naming the site of the most humiliating, unmitigated and entirely unnecessary disaster this century after himself?
Is... Is he gaining self awareness?
Please just fucking die already, you orange sack of shit.
Google said to already be in the process of renaming Google Earth to Google Trump.
Planet America.
I think you mean renaming google to trumple
The words were laid on stream or stone
When Donald woke but wasn't woke.
He named the named hills and dells;
He drank from now untasty wells
you mean "not-the epstein" strait.
Go squanch yourself
That little twink really likes the idea of getting a boat up his ass twice a day
Everyday with this fucking guy
It hasn't been this bad since Alexander the Great
At least that guy was good at something.
Great at it, even.
Today on: Whose Moose is it any ways? Yeah it's exhausting.
This just in: Google and Apple announce they've updated their maps.
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.
Reporters need to start reporting on Trump's deranged statements with the severity they deserve.
I guess they're afraid to get called piggy
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"
Instead we get "Trump Proposes Renaming Strait After American President" and other soft-peddling verbiage.
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.
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.
Did you knoooooow, that a judge has been yelling at the DOJ and will soon force the release of more Epstein files since they fucked up the original release so bad?

Always a 'warning'. Always 'could' or 'may'. Never any fucking action.
Just words
I mean if he really wants the credit I'll call it "Trump's Waterloo" for him.
Why? was Trumps Gay taken?
You're getting upvoted, so I think I'm missing context. Is this a reference to something?
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.
As much as it stays blocked, he should rename it Trump Colon
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
"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
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.
Trump strait tweaking
Canada Proposes Renaming "Strait of Hormuz" to "Strait of our Moose"
If he really wanted to troll Iran, he would change "strait of Hormuz" to "gay of Hormuz".
That would require him to posses a functional braincell, to understand the joke with
By this time next year he'll have renamed half the major cities on earth
That will be very aladeen
Honestly we should be calling it that every day it’s blocked causing rising gas prices and death and other assorted chaos
At least this one is a fairly apt description for a crooked body of water.
Impossible to name it that, 'cuz straight he ain't.
Just name it George Straight. He's a Trumper.
