Yes, the POTUS who wants to call Lake Ontario ‘Lake America’ now wants to call the Straits of Hormuz ‘Trump Straits’.
He obviously hasn’t yet reached peak stupid.

My son in the US says people there are getting inured to Trump’s shenanigans. Whereas at one time there’d have been howls of outrage, now people are just shrugging their shoulders with a ‘Well that’s Trump for you,’ attitude. And Trump finds that infuriating - he craves the attention those moves once created and to be ignored is anathema to him.

Ds says everything will revert to their old names once Trump has gone but we speculated that his next move might be to demand that all babies born from now on are to be called Donald or Donaldina.

I was looking on You Tube for Trumpton videos and found these videos from 2017!

Someone should remind him that the shipping lanes are very narrow and his head wouldn't fit through it 😕
