"I said, 'Sundar, I'm thinking of the Atlantic Ocean. Can you handle it?'

"'No, no, no, this time I'm not doing it,' he said, 'Oceans are different, sir. They cover a lot of - really a lot of countries. Please don't ask us to do that.'"

The US president later said he would "probably pass" and keep the name Atlantic, before saying, "We're going to call it the American Ocean".

Personally, I think not. I think he's just trolling and rage baiting with the name changes. Also some distracting.

But that doesn't mean he's immune to counter trolling. Not that I think Lemmy is even on his radar, so it's more imaginary counter trolling.
