doesn’t even break the top-10 of stupidest shit to come out of his mouth this week.
Like Twitter I’ll misname it out of disrespect.
Why is he thinking so small? Why not rename the Pacific Ocean to American Ocean? China and Japan have seas and India has an Ocean.
The American Ocean is a lot of things, but pacific isn’t one of them
The Atlantic Ocean belongs to Atlanta. To make it sound more like how it’s pronounced by the locals, we’ll rename it the A-lan-nic Ocean.
Half of me wants to start keeping a personal tally of all the bullshit that comes out of this embarrassment while the other half just wants to cancel my internet to avoid the emotional trauma.
I’m also at this crossroads. I think a sub for link-dumping would be great because he doesn’t deserve the time of day to curate him a list that nobody will read.
Option 2 is more satisfying
Sure. Its all a fucking joke, now.
I’m only surprised he didn’t demand it be called the Gulf of Trump.
The gulf of trump is the empty space between his ears.
You’re not wrong… especially since he feels the need to plaster his name on everything. But don’t give him ideas…
On that note, can we collectively change “trump card” to being a bad thing?
Trump Toilet Bowl
“Trump’s gulf hurricane wipes out south”
One wonders how upset he’ll be when he learns that Mexico is in America. North America, even.
Seems like it’s time for a name change of the USA in Spanish.
Estados Estupidos —> Stupid States
Estados Jodidos more like.
Estados Unidos de México
The official name of Mexico is “Estados Unidos Mexicanos”
Man, I know English. I know some Spanish, high school drop out level, and I have some “real world” experience from working in a hotel… but man, I don’t think I can change languages on the fly.
Mi Espanol es muy mal. Muy, muy, mal.
Malo* 😬
Like they said, muy mal.
Deadnaming geography, so hot right now.
¡Los Estados Unidos!
La tierra del hombre naranja
The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea
We’re listing names that are intentionally deceptive right?
Everybody else in the world still gonna call it Gulf of Mexico
Freedumb Fries anyone?
Gulf of Freedom
No, we won’t. That’s stupid.
We won’t. That’s true enough. For tradition alone we won’t; Just like we don’t change to the metric system.
But it’s not exactly stupid. There are several countries and two continents that surround The Gulf. It’s not unreasonable to name it after both the continents that make it. I’m not even sure how it became named after just a single country anyway.
Really it’s just another stupid fucking distraction that shouldn’t get any attention from any of us.
Let me tell you about the Persian gulf and the South China Sea.
When the gulf was named by European explorers in the 1580s, Mexico (as a region colonized by Spain) was the most important thing in the main land. Some Spanish maps from the same time period also called it Gulf of New Spain.
But it’s not exactly stupid. There are several countries and two continents that surround The Gulf. It’s not unreasonable to name it after both the continents that make it.
Not quite, the gulf is entirely contained within North America and borders the US, Mexico, and Cuba.
Once you go around the Yucatan Peninsula, you’re no longer in the gulf, you’re in the Yucatan Channel and then the Yucatan Basin portion of the Caribbean Sea.
But you’re right in that it’s not exactly stupid, just eyeballing it, it looks like the US has more square miles on the gulf than Mexico does.
I already call him “ahahahahahah”, and it’s ok, people understand immediately
