I don’t know which is worse. That he is a twat, or that Google think their renaming something on their maps actually means anything (as he obviously does).

      Only in the US… Fairly sure they didn’t do anything internationally. Sounds like they did the bare minimum

        They added the bullshit names in parentheses - as if anyone would actually use them anywhere else in the world.

          May need it so you know wtf someone’s talking about when talking to a Trump supporter and they’re talking about the Golf von Amerika, formerly known as Rabbit von Amerika

            I’d prefer to keep it Atlantic, doesn’t need any country or even continent’s name on it, not even my own (Europe that is; my country is way too far from the ocean itself to make a claim anyway).

            IF we’re going to have to troll Trump, it could be the West African Ocean though. Pacific would be East Asian Ocean then.
