It's going to be such a dumb four years.

NEWS

President-elect Trump says he intends to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

While he can’t force foreign governments and other organizations to rename the Gulf, he can direct federal agencies to use Gulf of America.

Until it suddenly becomes terrifying ...

He won’t last 4 years.

I dunno, the only way this is worse than the Persian Gulf/Arabian Gulf split is that we're the ones that will look stupid.

Oh. Oh, yeah, okay.

I thought this was an AI video but sure enough it’s real

What does make you think that he/his successors will comply with the constitutional time mandate limit?

It's Freedom Fries, but somehow stupider.

Just gonna "freedom fries" an entire body of water.

Gulf of America would technically mean that everyone owns it.

ianmnoone.bsky.social•55 days ago

I mean legally, outside of the coastal zones, everybody basically does anyway

This is correct. That's why technically the City of Atlanta owns the entire ocean.

The next four years is going to be an interesting exercise in "do I have CTE or is it the news?"

Super fun. Guess it’s gonna end up like a Sea of Japan/East Sea depending on which country’s geography book one is reading?

Either that or he’s just going out of his way to be a dipshit & cause trouble however he can. No wonder his dad didn’t love him either.

A level of stupid unprecedented in recent history.

rthonpm.bsky.social•55 days ago

I could live with stupidity, but this is malicious stupidity.

He also hinted he'd like to invade Greenland. I guess that's one way to exit NATO - declare war on a NATO country.

The discovery that there's no bottom to the amount of demented goals he can spew without consequence is horrifying and fascinating. We've only seen the start. He always gets worse.
