Best to ignore all this renaming BS , it’s all a distraction from the failure of Trumps war with Iran ( and everything else of course, tariffs, Epstein etc).
Another part of this madness is that the media go along with it and spend time discussing/debating it. I am sure there are many intelligent people in the media so they know as well as WE do that it is all distraction and the ramblings of an old fool who behaves like a child.

He’ll be trying to annex the UK next . Probably call it Mother America ! Scotland will be Trumpland, of course, because he has Scottish blood. How’s about Canada fights back and calls the US the United States of Canada ?

He can call our lake whatever he wants but we here in Ontario will always call it by its historic name of Lake Ontario.And as another poster said once he is gone it will go back to being known as that.Same as the Gulf of Mexico which he stupidly named the gulf of America.

As I said in an earlier post I am following in DT's example, so I have renamed that Oval place. It is now called the USA National lunatic asylum and already has its first well named inmate ( do you get the dt's from drinking too much or stopping suddenly?)

Looking to the past we see the depression, where people did inane and crazy things such as dancing for 24 hours to win a meal , or doing inane things, which then led on to a world with Hitler and Mosley in Britian. The modern day version has people building sandcastles , not for the fun but for the tv to put something on - reminds me of the potters wheel, and we have the matching madman DT with N Farage . Do hope that we learn from the last and manage to remove them somewhat quicker with less bloodshed - oh no , we have already had too much bloodshed. and every day the resident of the national lunatic asylum of america is causing more.

Next he will want to call the USA Trumpton.

Wouldn’t be at all surprised. It is frightening. Dr Strangelove all over again.

More deaths in Iran and reportedly at a wedding?

Also everyone (I mean politicians across the world) seem to have gone very quiet re Ukraine and Gaza, and the poor folk in Afghanistan rarely get a mention, unless of course, they’ve dared to attempt to escape their situation and bob across the channel.

What a truly horrible world we inhabit. 😕😕

So much misery caused by so few.
I could weep 😢

POTUS has signed another special directive which requires the Federal Government and all of USA to refer to Lake America as opposed to Lake Ontario.

He has not got the power to change the name for Canada or the rest of the world.

Just another ego trip for him 🤦‍♀️

It doesn't matter what he wants places called, once he's out of the way the names will revert to their original form - if anyone uses the names he chooses in the first place.

Well, Apple has knuckled under and all their maps now show 'Lake America'

I think the world is running out of expletives to describe this nightmare of a man!

Oh he has.

He is now busily reaching peak insanity

He could with some justification call them Dire Straits

I think you are right.
But tragically there have been yet more civilian fatalities in Iran, some of them children. Again.

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.
