This man can't have an original idea, can he? It was either going to be "Lake America" or "Lake Trump". Same reason his foreign relations policies are but a single word.

He doesn't need an original idea, all his fans wanted this point is for him to shout and wave his tiny little hands a bunch.

Actually the repetition is a good thing. Drain the swamp. Make America great again. All he has are stupid quips for people to repeat ad hominem.

This is really no different than dementia grandpa going off about random shit at the dinner table. It's just embarrassing for everyone involved.

I cannot believe this man is still the president of the United States.

People are cheering for it, that's the difference between him and grandpa. And it's sad.

Well, about 6 million Canadians shit in it every day, so it may be more appropriate.

burido@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 20d

Lake Trump it is then

comrade_twisty@feddit.org · 14 pts · 22d

Awesome!

Instead of H-O-M-E-S the mnemonic for the Great Lakes would be S-H-A-M-E then.

The same president that trafficked and raped children?

Trump is a child molester

I'm already most of the way out of the google ecosystem with Graphene and alternatives, only thing left is authenticator (for work) and maps. If i EVER see Lake of America on google maps, i will be deleting my google account and never coming back.

You might want to give "Gulf of America" a search, then

captain_spicard@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 22d (1 reply)

I am fully aware. But I live on the north shore of lake Ontario so it would be a bit more personal.

I am afraid I have terrible news.

Authy can do everything google authenticator can, I think ?

captain_spicard@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 21d (3 replies)

More or less yeah. I've been slowly migrating accounts over. EDIT It had been a while since I tried migrating to Authy, and I've since moved to a Graphene OS phone. Unfortunately, Authy refuses to run on phones without google play services installed so it's not an option.

Or Aegis. Manual sync, but that's kind of a plus for me

captain_spicard@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 20d (1 reply)

Goddamn, I didn't know Aegis existed! Thanks, just moved all my accounts over and removed google authenticator. I now have the ability to completely delete my google account!

I couldn't use Authy, it refused to run on graphene OS.

Heck yeah!

Any company that complies gets banned from doing business in Canada. Make it so. Give him a stroke. We'll be doing the world a favour.

Treczoks@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 21d

Just like with the infamous "Gulf of America", the world will not care besides laughing about the Americans.

Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca · 8 pts · 22d

We no longer care what this moron spews.

adespoton@lemmy.ca · 7 pts · 22d

So… Gulf of America to the south and Lake America to the north?

I wholly expect both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans to be renamed “the Great American Ocean” next.

N0t_5ure@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 22d

Surprised he's not wanting to name it after himself.

(Tbf nobody is taking the name changes seriously, bet $5 they're gonna change "back" as soon as he's gone. We've got bigger problems, he's causing bigger problems.)

He can name it whatever he wants, the only thing I care about is where they’re going to bury that piece of shit so I can piss on his grave.

HubertManne@piefed.social · 2 pts · 20d

I can't wait till the next president signs executive orders renaming donald trump.

Tiral@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 20d

That will show those Canadians about all much as we care about them boycotting American products.
