This ongoing obsession of his is a huge W for the "America is the continent, not the country" folks. By the time we're through with all this, no-one is gonna want to use the name America for anything. America? I don't know her; I live in the EU (los estados unidos) thank you.

    Maybe we’ll have to change the name of the Atlantic and/or the Pacific. Maybe we’ll change them both

    Oh good, we’ll have two “American Oceans” because he’s too fucking stupid and patronizing to think of another name.

    I propose that all the other countries in the world rename USA The United Mistakes of America, or maybe just Dumbfuckland.

    Edit: Dumbfuckistan is even better.

    Who cares? Just rename everything to "American XYZ".

    Genuinely, please stop enabling this shit by posting headline after headline of Trump doing Trump-things to stay in the news.

    We were so close to not having to deal with his bullshit a second time but nobody wants to put in the range time to do it right.

    "My legacy as a pedo failure is cemented. The only thing I can do to change that historically is land expansion. I'm too stupid and inept to actually do that, so I'll just change the names on maps in my own country."

    Does he realise America is a continent? The United States OF THE AMERICAN CONTINENT. USA isn't exclusive to the 50 states it is compromised of. There are 35 counties on the American continent.

    Sorry for saying continent so much.

    Why would he understand how continents work when he's apparently pretty damned incontinent himself (in addition to being incompetent)?. The US people elected him twice. Never forget, never forgive.

    Funnily, all uses of "America" for the whole continent (including the north) are misinterpretations of the original map drawn by Mr Waldseemüller, who invented the name "America" in the first and used it for Brazil.

    On the same map some designation for the northern part of the continent can also be found, stating that it was a province discovered by the command of the king of Castille:

    So, the only logical step will be to name North-America as "New Castille" from now on, to correct for the screw-up of the post-Waldseemüller map-reading-noobs.

    He should totally do it.

    At that point, it'll become clear that maps that hold to the new US standard are going to a) have to be constantly changed, and b) will become increasingly useless.

    Then everyone who actually cares about geography can just commit to buying maps that adhere to different standards. I'd say Canadian map standards or European map standards but I bet there are plenty of academic map standards still in the US that refuse to engage in Trump's whimsy, no matter how official it might be.
