What do you expect to happen, best case? He's not criminally exposed. This is itself a distraction from (I'm sorry to say) even worse shit that is currently ongoing.

Fuck you and die Trump.

Does he think he's owning us with this? I honestly couldn't give a fuck what Americans name the lake. Nobody outside of America is going to call it that, he's not emperor.
