I don’t know which is worse. That he is a twat, or that Google think their renaming something on their maps actually means anything (as he obviously does).

Google says they can’t do it because it borders multiple countries. Didn’t stop them from changing the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario.

Fair enough, just keep him away from the nukes and toddlers that remind him of his daughter I suppose.

To be fair, that’s what Trump says Google said. Even odds the entire conversation only happened in his mind.

Google didn’t say anything
Trump claimed Sundar said things, and you implicitly trust him
What made you assume Trump is telling the truth accurately? What in his political career gave you that trust in him?

They’ve caved to him before so why not keep going? That’s how he works.

Only in the US… Fairly sure they didn’t do anything internationally. Sounds like they did the bare minimum

They added the bullshit names in parentheses - as if anyone would actually use them anywhere else in the world.
12 daysIf you read the article text, he’s telling people at a rally that he asked Google’s CEO to do it and they said no.
Now, I’d take anything Trump says about deals and interactions with anyone else with a large grain of salt, as he’s pretty flagrantly lied in the past, but even if taken at face value, he’s saying that his request didn’t go through.

First he asks, then he posts on social media and then makes an executive order.
But Mexico & Canada ok!? GTFO 😡 This is why I’m dialing down my reliance on Google! I hope I can get to zero reliance 🤞

There’s a life outside GAFAM’s ecosystem.
It’s not an easy path, but it’s possible.

This is distraction propaganda. Ifnore it and instead note that that his deployment of national guard has been rules as unlawful, a shit ton of people are finding out their citizenship has been revoked, hormuz is a fucking mess, oil prices spiked again, they’re trying to make it actively illegal and punishable by law to medically treat non-citizens, they just ruled that detained migrants have literally zero rights to anything, they’re actively trying to crucify Ilhan Omar as a political act to establish precedent, among others.
This is nothing, treat it as such. Nobody is immune to propaganda.
The man wants to rename the Gulf of Mexico to downgrade his sex trafficing to domestic.

Here’s a userscript that renames Trump on every website you visit into a random humorous insult
His dementia is in free fall. Watch him speak today, then watch him speak during his first term, when he already had undeniable signs. He’s fucking gone. Any one of us would be in a home if we were this bad off.

I hope The Onion doesn’t go bankrupt because of Trump, since they can’t even get a satirical article made because everything real is currently on the level of satire

They can simply become a reputable news organization, and don’t even have to change up their content much!
The back catalog will confuse people into thinking it’s always been this batshit, though. XD
It only took 6 months for this satirical article to become reality.
The singularity approaches.

No more “America”. No more “Freedom”. Now it is all “trump” all the time!

Newsweek isn’t a reliable source, in particular not as a single source. Be wary.

Reliable or not, the Orange himself bragged about it few days ago
- cecilkorik@lemmy.caEnglish12 days
I would argue he is also very much not a reliable source, but your point is taken, and in today’s world it’s becoming increasingly difficult to know what a reliable source even means.

Earth? You must mean Trump. You see, the Trump orbits the Trump once every 365 Trumps. I happen to live in the United Trump of Trumps. I live in the state of Trump on the little island of Trump in the city of Trump. Trump Trump Trump, Trump Trump Trump!
It can all be a little bit confusing at times. That’s why I started playing the Trumpet, as a hobby, as that was the one musical Trump that didn’t need to be renamed. Besides that, watching a lot of The Smurfs, I mean, The Trumps, has also helped to better “grok” this brave new language. I mean, this brave new Trump.
I don’t hate many people.
But I absolutely hate this motherfucker.
