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).
He just keeps escalating demands until he’s stopped.
If you read the article text, he’s telling people at a rally that he asked Google’s CEO to do it and they said no.
Now, I’d take anything Trump says about deals and interactions with anyone else with a large grain of salt, as he’s pretty flagrantly lied in the past, but even if taken at face value, he’s saying that his request didn’t go through.
First he asks, then he posts on social media and then makes an executive order.
Sounds like the behaviour of a very public rapist
Newsweek isn’t a reliable source, in particular not as a single source. Be wary.

Reliable or not, the Orange himself bragged about it few days ago
… I am yelling at people to do their due diligence, not doubt fact.
Using outlets that report non factually when they do will build trust for when they misinform.
Good on you for being aware of and caring about such things and for spreading the word about it! Keep fightin’ the good fight! :)
I would argue he is also very much not a reliable source, but your point is taken, and in today’s world it’s becoming increasingly difficult to know what a reliable source even means.
This article only describes the literal words of the President
Google says they can’t do it because it borders multiple countries. Didn’t stop them from changing the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario.
Google didn’t say anything
Trump claimed Sundar said things, and you implicitly trust him
What made you assume Trump is telling the truth accurately? What in his political career gave you that trust in him?
Google lies.
I think we should name way more things after him: The Donald J. Trump Dump and the Donald J. Trump-Chicken Farm. Trump-Diarrhea though this might also be the Robert F. Kennedy Diarrhea. A Ship being hit with a mine shall be known as a Trump-Maneuver. Going bankrupt is just “Trumping”.
Still don’t understand why it’s called the Iran War and not the Trump war.
So as not to distract from the Trump Files.
‘Trumping’ already means ‘breaking wind’ in the uk.
For real? If so, DAMN.
Look the UK has its flaws but they are on point with this.
I think he should get one thing named after him.
A solitary confinement cell at USP Marion can be renamed the Trump Pit.
pedo troll say what
That’s what you get for bowing to trump on Lake Ontario and the Mexican Golf. The orange turd will assume he can ask you to do anything for him.
Damn, I didn’t know Mexico had its own kind of golf.
“The Atlantic borders other countries”???
And the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario don’t…?
They’ve caved to him before so why not keep going? That’s how he works.
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
Gulf of Mexico? Atlantic is only a bigger version of that (that touches more countries)
Happy to call it the Mexican ocean…
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.
We call it the EPSTEIN OCEAN ,deep and dark
And he still hasn’t been introduced to a guillotine?
you mean a Trumpotine? :>
When Google and Apple immediately rolled over on command and changed the last two names (Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario) they had to know this would only encourage him and lead to things like this.
Kind of okay with the lost city of Trumpis.
Seeing him avoid going to the UK because Trump going transtrumpic.
You know, renaming random things is something obscure dictators do, only Trump isn’t renaming cities or months, he’s renaming oceans and seas.
How long until Trump renamed Washington DC to “Trump”?
I’m pretty sure he does not know what the C is in DC or he would have renamed it already to A(merica)
I had to look it up, “District of Columbia”, I just thought it was “District City”, like New York City but with district for some reasons… yeah…
This is one instance where Trump is not to blame. It’s a perfectly reasonable request in light of Google’s capitulation on the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario.
Why not rename Earth to Trump ?
Instead of Ohio?
