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'...

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

    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.

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

    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.

    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!

    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
