This is good for egg prices.
Don’t fall for the rage bait. Look behind the curtain. What else is going on that he’s trying to distract us from?
Gestures vaguely at everything
Dismantling Congress comes to mind: kicking out all the Democrats. At least internationally, that sort of stuff makes much smaller waves than a nice clickety-click-oh-Donny-is-so-dumb.
It’s hard to choose
What rage in this case?
Every damn day. “Is this a fucking joke or real?”
I mean Alcatraz? Gulf of America?
I feel like he watches TV and his pea brain decides “I think they should have…” Next thing you know, executive order.

There’s a pretty decent probability that this is exactly the case.
No no, that’s how it is. Fox will run a segment saying “some people say….”, then Trump shits it out on Twitter, then Fox runs the same segment again, saying “the president says…”
One time the turnaround for this was 90 seconds.
What was the thing that had a 90sec turnaround?
A dumb inflammatory remark about trans women. I don’t remember the exact one, sadly.
So we need to flood channels with shows/movies about a misunderstood president with sinking approval ratings that makes the ultimate sacrifice, taking everyone in the room with him, who just happen to be every billionaire in the world.
The trick will be getting Fox News to run the story
Also serves as a loyalty/obedience test AND gives him an excuse to punish anyone who disobeys. Tow the line or be targeted. Then when the real fascist shit starts you’ve slowly eliminated anyone with the balls to resist.
What is it with him and gulfs?
He thinks it’s “golf.”
He’s taunting Google, seeing how far he can take it. They certainly rolled over nicely for “Gulf of America”.
I have no objections. That’s what it is already called in Arabic.
Fun fact in Turkish it is called Gulf of Basra, after the city in Iraq.
Another fun fact: in the grand scheme of things, Persians and Iranians are relative late comers to the region during the Babylonian Era; and the Gulf already had previous Sumerian, Elamite and Akkadian names. Late is in relation to the history of the region but when compared with the history of other regions 3000 years ago is a long time ago. Turks are even later-comers only 1000 years ago. I say this because they can’t claim that they named it first.
Final fun fact: Persians don’t live on the north coast of the Gulf, not in significant numbers and not historically, only Arabs live on both coasts even on the Iranian side.
PS: I am sympathetic to Iran in their struggle against imperialism and Zionism, and believe they have a right to develop whatever means to defend themselves and deter aggression. This naming dispute though, is something else for me regardless of Trump’s intentions.
I object for the sole reason that Trump probably did this for the UAE.
Just Trump doing it is enough to object.
A very good and valid reason to object. A lot of Arab governments and heads of state have no business existing, let alone being in power.

We support them economically and militarily.
If we stopped the gulf would be better for everyone.
Literally anything to avoid helping average Americans.
More distractions as he continues his soft coup.
Arm yourselves. It’s coming.
Gotta somehow make his friends in UAE and Saudi Arabia happy for when he realises the US doesn’t have as much oil in the ground as it actually needs or can realistically extract in a meaningful timeframe. I mean, they literally just invested in his crypto scheme the other day.
invested in his crypto schemebribed himFixed that.
More like tributes so they aren’t turned into another Iraq or Syria or Yemen or Sudan or Libya
Iranian leaders are already pushing back, saying renaming the gulf would be ‘indicative of hostile intent toward Iran’
But that’s the point
Trump is a moron
Is that the big news he said was coming in the Carney meeting?
No, that’ll be some kind of attack on us. Either he’ll ramp up tariffs on Canada, or declare Alberta is now called North Montana and the 51st state.
Zionist Arabian Gulf would be fitting to why geographic name rewards are getting handed out.
