    Trump’s entire business sense amounts to “slap my name on everything so I look rich and powerful”.

    Dollars to Donuts says that his first thought was to call it “The Gulf of Trump” and some quick thinking aide changed the post before it could be released.

    (stupid tabloid level shit, but atleast they are fighting back against trump).

    Should we create a seperate community for this “drama” type news, which is all word and no action, ie. Trump says, Musk tweets you know the politics equivalent of celebrity gossip.

      No. We elected a Reality Show host, we get all the drama. We voted for government by Tweet.

        Yeh, unlike enoughmuskspam - which is essentially just absurdities about some rich fuck -… Donny is actually the president of the United States.
        All the cringe and batshit crazy? That’s who America has elected to lead and represent them. Essentially, that’s America for the next 4 years. Hopefully shorter, probably going to be some attempts to make it longer.
        But, that is Americas representative.

        Now, maybe moving away from the default “everything is about America” would be a good idea.
        But realistically, news articles from America about America are unlikely to include the country - let alone the state - where the news takes place. And they are always going to be posted to generic news/politics communities. So, unlikely to actually happen.

        But “trump says” and “why trump wants” being rephrased as “America says” and “why America wants” wouldn’t be a bad thing. Might be a wake up call for a few people.

          No it wouldn’t. Anyone who disagrees that this is who America is would already have their eyes open, and anyone who doesn’t already has their tongue in Trump’s brown eye.

          What a fucking disgrace of a country

              The story so far: In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

    Alright, kinda funny. But don’t clap back by meeting him at his level with petty renaming fights. It will just justify his stupidity in his mind and he’ll rush to rename everything else that has Mexico in the name (or any Spanish for that matter) because that’s the kind of 14 year old logic be works on. Then we’ll be renaming cities, counties, and even states in an asinine display of “dominance”. Instead, clap back by calling him a weird ineffectual manchild that wouldn’t know dominance if it was rubbing its testicles across his spray-tanned wrinkled face and watch him squirm as he tries to figure out how to respond and ultimately lands on “No! You!”

    So, will it be Mexican America and South Mexican America? Or is there something more appropriate? Brazilian America?
