NEW: Trump says name of the Gulf of Mexico will be changed to Gulf of America

It's so obvious trump isn't serious about this that I expect a future Democrat to unironically propose doing this just to preempt Republicans

That’s what having the entirety of a country’s media on your side will do for you.

First they came after Greenland, and I said nothing ...

This shit is going to cause so much trouble for agencies like the noaa, the nga (and other geo intelligence agencies), and the library of congress. I almost hope he does it, lol

There are millions and millions of charts and map books around the world that will not be changed so like so much from the Wizard of Orange...it is bullshit.

Well, to be fair, Donny does have that sharpie.. No map is safe!

I’m surprised he doesn’t get bids for naming rights, Gulf of Meta for example

And yall spent last 8 years insisting that dog can't play basketball because of the rules, but turns out rules don't actually work and they never did.

carlamurphy.bsky.social•47 days ago

This tracks. Lit from authors raised in fascist or totalitarian regimes tends to emphasize the absurd, the stupidity, the inanity of that social life--and of course, the compliance.

Oh no it f*cking well won't. Love from Scotland.

I wonder if this is how Italy felt when the turd got in control

You’re falling for basic magicians tricks.
Watch what the other hand is doing.

Air Bud was a generational talent you son of a bitch

robertkstarr.com•47 days ago

Bro dominated in every sport imaginable and then had talking puppies that went into space. No other player in history has had half his career.

While solving crimes!! I won't tolerate this belligerent slander against my goat

Read my bio and educate yourself

He can't change the name because it would mess up the lyrics to The Battle of New Orleans

God that old freak is on his last legs ,wake up!!!?

Beligerent fool.

Mapmaker’s lobby has been busy

fakesusan.bsky.social•46 days ago

It’s disheartening how stupid this has made my husband’s family, which includes engineers, an MD, and a PhD. These people were not this melted and dumb 8 years ago.

An Anschluss with water

jschrinerbriggs.bsky.social•47 days ago

time to unfurl the banner

mitokandria.bsky.social•47 days ago

Also while ignoring that said dog is breaking several actual rules like travelling.

shanefking.bsky.social•47 days ago

And then making a big show of solemnly conceding defeat to said dog

jackieny.bsky.social•47 days ago

That’s an insult to Air Bud

tinydoctor.bsky.social•46 days ago

How 'bout we call it the Gulf of Karen? Gulf of Orange Karen? Or Maybe the Gulf of Butthurt? The Sea of Tangerine seems...demeaning to citrus fruit.

alv134.bsky.social•47 days ago

The shit that this pencil dick obsesses over is so ridiculous, I find solace in the wise words of rage against the machine:

Fuck you [trump]
I won’t do what you tell me

wilton4000.bsky.social•47 days ago

Going even further, ten eggs will henceforth be known as a dozen.

nbarnes006.bsky.social•47 days ago

They’ve finally surpassed freedom fries for the ultimate Republican dumbassery.

mgayultra.bsky.social•47 days ago

*taps the cushbomb tweet*

spacetwinks.bsky.social•47 days ago

it really speaks to how dems have a desire to win less by winning by actually playing but for a referee to declare victory by default so they don't have to do anything

important that they also do not want the responsibilities of being the referee themselves, they want someone else to get yelled at

spacetwinks.bsky.social•47 days ago

[memories of desperately hoping mueller would pull the trigger so they wouldn't have to, begging pence to invoke the 25th while taking time for themselves to go on recess, hoping garland would fix it and garland hoping somebody else would fix it] mmm.

spacetwinks.bsky.social•47 days ago

it really did click a lot for me seeing that dems obsession with 'moderate republicans' isn't just class interests and decorum BS, it's also 'could someone else please take point on being yelled at by the GOP, the news, etc. it'd really help us out if a republican would fall on the sword for us'

ositanwanevu.bsky.social•47 days ago

Forgot about this one!

writerjencrow.bsky.social•47 days ago

Why is this so very damn true? Whyyyyy?

runningoutwest.bsky.social•47 days ago

My favorite tweet, maybe ever. So perfectly captures dems vs gop, imo.

ositanwanevu.bsky.social•47 days ago

I do think the stupidity is the point, though. They're trying to make a mockery of politics to fry circuits — to get people to disengage or decide the right's too silly to constitute a real threat.

youaretraffic.bsky.social•47 days ago

i think this gives the current president too much credit but definitely something the string pullers of the movement consider

dustinheron.bsky.social•47 days ago

They learned from the Bush years that making us splutter with bemused rage is a good way to distract us. Laugh it off at night during the Daily Show, nothings gotta change.

alexandercrummell.bsky.social•47 days ago

This is their dream...

benspky.bsky.social•47 days ago

I also think there's an affective element to Trump's stupidity that is part of his appeal. Unabashed stupidity can feel very liberating!

ejmaron.bsky.social•47 days ago

But it's very important not to dismiss working with them out of hand

kmagnacca.bsky.social•47 days ago

And tbh it’s working, at least on me. Not that I don’t think they’re a real threat, but I’m more and more inclined to disconnect from news so I don’t have to see every stupid thing breathlessly reported as a crisis.

penman1961.bsky.social•47 days ago

This is also too smart for its own good.

Trump just wants to dominate. There is no "stupid" way for him to dominate, in his mind.
