"I said, ‘Sundar, I’m thinking of the Atlantic Ocean. Can you handle it?’
“‘No, no, no, this time I’m not doing it,’ he said, ‘Oceans are different, sir. They cover a lot of - really a lot of countries. Please don’t ask us to do that.’”
The US president later said he would “probably pass” and keep the name Atlantic, before saying, “We’re going to call it the American Ocean”.
Totally unrelated: toddlers test adults boundaries. Once the adult give up on a boundary, that is a given and they would put a tantrum if they don’t keep in getting their way.
What it’s worse is that they will move to the next boundary and repeat the same.
In general I would say for toddler is better to set clear and firm boundaries so that a lot of tantrum and screaming are saved.
But what was the article about, again?
Wow, they didn’t bend the knee this time, surprising. Fascist bootlickers. From now on, I am calling Murica “South Canada” or “North Mexico”.
epstein file reaction ocean. and the gulf of GHislaine.
“Sir”.
Only India has an Ocean. I bet Trump can’t sleep on this.
Antarctica also has one, showing even ice cubes have more oceans than America does lol.
Holy shit. Is that what this is about?
Personally, I think not. I think he’s just trolling and rage baiting with the name changes. Also some distracting.
But that doesn’t mean he’s immune to counter trolling. Not that I think Lemmy is even on his radar, so it’s more imaginary counter trolling.
Please do it…rename the sun.
The stellar body or the conservative rag?
Hopefully the rag. Then I can use America to clean up some shit
I’d be ok with either.
Whichever is funnier.
I thought the former was part of the latter - found on the third page, perhaps
let’s make a deal, any body of water he drowns in, we’ll name it after him
The Donald J. Trump Reflecting Pool.
The Donald J. Trump White House hallway toilet.
The Donald J. Trump hole 7 water hazard at Mar a Lago
I don’t suppose the WH runs on a septic system? failing that the nastiest pit of water is probably the sump.
omg! Donald J. Sump!
I love it.
hey, for all the secret service agents reading this… you could do the funniest thing.
To all the secret service agents reading this… just take one for the team.
Any body of water named Trump better have a handle to flush.
Oh don’t worry. Sooner or later Trump will have a public toilet with his name on it, like the Thatcher one
Both toilets in our house will have plaques.
What else are 3D printers for?
The Donald J. Trump golden toilet.
As long as it’s fake gold, suits the doofus better
I mean it fits, since an actual toddler can also drown in water that shallow.
Australian here.
We just named a memorial pool after our leader when it happened to us.
Not just the pool. We also named a Naval Comms Station after him.
Never been sure whether this combo of memorials was down to our culture’s perverse sense of humour, or just pragmatic future-proofing.
There’s this, lusting over Republican candidate asses, and bragging about finding a giraffe in a kid’s drawing.
- No one around him is able to give him a filter to not say dumb shit that makes him look bad.
- Like 2020 election, he can’t lie his way about corruption/destruction of America (Covid management was bad) promising to undo it. So he has to talk about “nothing”.
Flexing on the world, for no gain, does show how cowardly and sycophantic that world is and continues to be. It’s still late stage empire behaviour and collapse acceleration.
He’s like a young child who’s just discovered a new word and is using it everywhere. (apologies to any children; no offense intended)
As a parent of a 3yo in his “no” phase, this is accurate
Also… send help, im exhausted
You survived the “why?” phase - you got this.
We’re all in this together. My youngest is 20 months and is already worse than my eldest was as a threenager. The twos look like they’re going to be terrible.
Hang in there.
Me too.This is my second time around but his sister is much older and was muuuuuch easier lol
We’ll get through this 🤝
Just wait until they’re teenagers. You’re all fucked, HAH!
Oldest is almost done with high school and has been a saint, zero trouble at all
Im so fucked when this toddler hits puberty
It’s like a fucking fungus, it keeps spreading every time he spews spores out of his decomposing mouth
It’s a cancer on society
Where I live, prices convert to 7.42 per gallon
Ah! the Eastern American Ocean.
And next will be the Western American Ocean.
Followed by the North American Ocean
Oh god, i hope he renames more things, so americans have their antiquated mesurement system, and a modernized geography system that no one uses except them.
Why do I have to be trapped in this dimension? This one is just so damn stupid…
They appeased him before, so he keeps asking for more.
at this rate the dicks gunna wanna rename the fucking moon
Sssh, he still doesn’t know that the moon isn’t just the sun at night.
So what? He’d rename the sun instead
“If you look closely, sir, you can see we have already written ‘America’ on The Sun.”
“Ow, my eyes hurt.”
“Sir, everyone says you’re the best, tremendous, at starting at The Sun. Keep going.”
In April 2024, a viral Reddit post featured a photograph purportedly showing former U.S. President Donald Trump looking directly at the sun without protective eyewear during the 2017 total solar eclipse. The then-president was standing next to his wife, first lady Melania Trump, and looking up with his face illuminated by the sun, even though NASA has warned that viewing any part of the sun without protective eyewear will cause damage to the eyes.
Exactly what I was thinking of.
