I thought you had misspelled Rogan for a moment there, but then I realised you had meant Reagan

Odd how similar the names are

He’s just reading what his Russian speech writer told him to.

Why don’t you start by reading the comment that I replied to ?

Actually, I’ll paste it here. They said “Who the hell says the president can rename things via executive order? Surely that’s not iterated as a power of the office.”

… to which I replied to point out that other presidents have used the same power, and then went on to explain that the issue isn’t the use of an executive order, but rather the lack of any reasonable justification beyond petty vindictiveness.

If you want to be angry, be angry at trump, not random people on the internet

It turns out that it was nothing more than norms and decorum in politics that was holding your country together. When someone comes along and takes a dump on those unwritten rules, they find they can get away with a lot of stuff that nobody thought should be possible .

The first time he learned which civil servants stopped him. This time he’s firing then all before they can.

Read what I said again. I’m equating the actions that both presidents took to effect the change of name, not the justification or reasoning behind it. People are getting upset that trump used an executive order. There are plenty of reasons to be upset at this, but that isn’t one.

It was an example of a president using executive power to rename a geographical feature, because the previous post was suggesting that such action is unheard of. It’s not. Having said that, when Obama did it, it was in response to about 35 years of petitions and requests, and not the actions of a weak minded manchild craving for attention

Aug. 30, 2015 President Obama announced on Sunday that Mount McKinley was being renamed Denali, using his executive power to restore an Alaska Native name with deep cultural significance to the tallest mountain in North America.

You mean like that ?

Edit: I’m in no way endorsing what trump did, which I think was a petty vindictive move on his part, I’m just pointing out that he’s far from the first to have used an executive order to rename geographical features. If anyone thinks I’m being pro trump, just take a look at my post history.

Google takes their place name data from the relevant country’s official government sources. That source data changed. This is exactly like when the previous administration renamed Mt McKinley to Denali.

There are hundreds, perhaps thousands, of place names that are not internationally recognised around the world.

You mean Estados Unidos ? In Spanish, ‘America’ already refers to the north and south continents, not to the USA

They’re not even hiding the racism any more.

A room with an upper storey balcony and a dodgy window latch?

It’s a concept of a concept of a plan. Maybe.

Eastern European Riviera

Yes, the people voting to burden themselves with broad new import taxes, on the basis that Trump said he’s going to lower taxes.

In what way does grabbing money from other people’s pockets sound great to trump ?

Have you not seen trump ? Thats exactly what he’s done his entire life.

I’ve also never seen it before now …

There’s little point in doing so, other than the feel-good moment. Google, and all other mapping companies, ultimately take their data from official sources. This differs per country, so users of maps from outside of the US will continue to see Gulf of Mexico, but complaining that it is wrong will only be ignored because they’re following the data from the official US government source.

What about states where they play other sports ?
