I have some bad news for you:

Apple Adopting 'Gulf of America' Naming for Apple Maps

Apple is in the process of renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, and changes are already being made to the Apple Maps app. When...

www.macrumors.com

Google maps changes Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America for US users

The update aligns with Donald Trump's order that the body be referred to as the Gulf of America.

www.bbc.com

The worst part is that I'd find the way Trump is making the oligarchs dance (ignoring he's one, himself) absolutely hysterical if it isn't over something so... stupid.

Sounds like some Yellow Submarine shit

It's starting to feel like they're changing reality to what Trump, Musk etc want it to be. Dark times

This is insane, and typical crank left thinking - the first instinct is always to attack the centre left, even if that means allying with the right.

Student politics writ large. And practiced by quite a few older people who should know better, too

FFS, what a bunch of whiny little babies. Fucking Americans.

"They only want to be in the Gaza Strip because they don't know anything else, they've never had an alternative," Mr Trump said.
"They are being killed there at levels that nobody has ever seen - no place in the world is as dangerous as the Gaza Strip."
He claims - contrary to what Gazans have said - that "not one person" wants to stay in Gaza.

 

[Del Woppio]

He really, really thinks he can just have it. When the push back from Arab states becomes stronger, he'll just use that objection to sow more division. The guy's a fucking nutjob

"They are being killed there at levels that nobody has ever seen - no place in the world is as dangerous as the Gaza Strip."

So he IS fully aware of what Israel is up to.

 

[Del Woppio]

It's the most dangerous place in the world and Gazans are being killed at an unprecedented rate, but Israel are doing nothing wrong

 

[Dire Wolf]

I mean, it's almost genius. Give Israel exactly what it wants, which is absolutely no Palestinians anywhere in Gaza (The West Bank will be next) and make it appear to the idiotic public that you are doing it for some altruistic good of the Palestinian people. As far as Trump is concerned it's the perfect plan.

There will be a whole heap more Islamist extremism than now as a result of this maniac. Trump is the ideal recruitment tool.

I’d imagine moderate Jews the world over are quite alarmed as it won’t take much for them to be seen as legitimate targets by an ever increasing number of radicalised Muslims, Palestinian or otherwise.

in that respect, extremists become their opposite side's best friends.

similarly why netanyahu (allegedly) funded, or allowed to be funded, Hamas, because with them around he has more legitimate means to scuppering a two party state solution.

you wonder what the life expectancy of a Trump tower or Mar-a-Lago holiday complex on the Gaza strip would be.. or what the security and insurance costs would be.
