I still don't understand how one asshat can just decide to change a long standing geographical name without consulting and having it approved by other parties involved. If it's that easy I hereby decree that the United States shall now be known as Russia-West. Make it happen.

In zwei neu erschienenen Beiträgen bereite ich für Euch die Debatte über die Umbenennung des Golfs von Mexiko durch #Trump auf:

>> Bei spektrum.de geht es ausführlich um die Frage, wie geographische Namen überhaupt zustande kommen und welche Regeln es für sie gibt:

In keeping with the proclivity of the orange shitbag to formally rename stuff to his personal liking regardless of what anyone else might wish, I'm applying to the Geographical Names Board of Canada to rename Donald Trump, President of the United States of America — wherever he goes — as the "Asshole of the World" symbolized by the image below. Because wherever he is, that's where it is.
