Shh, don't give 'em any ideas.

He already said he's considering renaming the Atlantic or the Pacific into 'American Ocean'

I guess we'll find out if he's more mad about 'Chyna' or 'Yurop' soon. 'North American Treaty Organization'...

One day, as his brain continues to liquefy, he'll proudly announce that he's renaming the USA to the United States of America.

America is just the feminised version of Amerigo (from Amerigo Vespucci, the namesake of the continents)

So, he'll rename it 'United States of Donald', since feminisation of names is 'woke' and it should obviously be named after him, not some washed up Italian explorer.

That would require an awareness of history

He's just gonna rename both Atlantic and Pacific to American Ocean and everyone be confused. Also every lake of the great lakes will be renamed Lake of America so that the shorthand is an appropriate AAAAA!

[–] troglodytis@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Well, they are connected, so it's really just one big lake with stages. So he'll remain the whole thing to the Big Great Lake of America

I mean technically the oceans (and all the major rivers) are connected too, so he can rename all rivers to 'The Greatest American River' and all oceans to "The biggliest American Ocean'

Now you're talking! I took a look, and it's all touching everything!! EVERYTHING IS PLANET AMERICA!!

[–] NateNate60@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Are you being serious when you say that he's said he is considering doing that?

[–] ms_lane@lemmy.world 11 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Yes unfortunately-

“We have a gulf and we have a lake – now all we need is an ocean. Maybe we’ll have to change the name of the Atlantic and/or the Pacific,” he told reporters, sitting at the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office. “Maybe we’ll change them both.”

Let's call them the Big America Ocean and the Beautiful America Ocean. To avoid jealousy the oceans will alternate in name each week. The appropriate updated rules along with corresponding legal threats have been forwarded to Apple and Google.

[–] then_three_more@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

He'll probably call both the American ocean for maximum confusion

[–] Droechai@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Well, they do connect so you could make an argument they are the same body of water, if you disregard culture, history and common sense

[–] then_three_more@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

So, it's happening then
