WASHINGTON, Aug 27 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump renamed Lake Ontario “Lake America” on Thursday, escalating a feud with Canada that has already spawned tariffs on tens of billions of dollars in cross-border trade.
Just your daily reminder that the President of the United States is a delusional narcissist with the emotional development of a toddler.
Hey now, all the toddlers I know are far more emotionally developed
Seriously. Let’s not besmirch the toddlers!
I’m rather tired of this executive order nonsense. Can things really be changed so easily with an EO decree? If so, things are severely broken.
Can things really be changed so easily with an EO decree?
Legally? No. Effectively? Yes.
If so, things are severely broken.
They are indeed 😮💨
An executive order is a directive to the executive branch of the federal government. Nothing more. The POTUS is given broad discretion over the executive branch under the US constitution. But, executive orders are not laws and do not apply to anyone aside from the people who effectively report the president.
Not that directives from the president can’t have a tangible impact. They certainly can. This particular tantrum, however, does not and will simply be ignored by everyone else.
Having the president replaced with a prime minister elected by congress may happen if the DSA gets their way
Scotus has been reversing lots of them. This will be as well.
EOs are meant to be policies or orders on how to manage some power or other that Congress assigns to the president to manage something. They are instructions on how to do something or an order for federal agencies to carry out some action. Trump is just blustering.
Let’s not call it Lake America or Lake Ontario. Let’s compromise. Let’s call is Lake Epstein.
Bro, please don’t make me live next to Lake Epstein.
How is that helpful? Make it relevant to Trump. Lake Trumpedo.
Lake Trump-fucks-children
Canada should rename Trump Lake to Lake Epstein, and the island in the lake should be North Epstein Island.
If the next president doesn’t sign an EO to rename trump “little pedo bitch” I don’t know what we’re even doing
Little kremlin pedo bitch, pls kthx
" Trump’s executive order on Lake Ontario, one of the five Great Lakes of North America, applies to U.S. federal usage about the lake, and does not govern what Canada, international bodies or other organizations call the lake."
Its pretty much just like a tarriff that only Americans have to pay?
I think the correct response for Carney would be to rename the USA “Mexico Jr”.
OrangeNaziPedo raped those girls, and killed one of them
Okay, but people are too busy watching AI brain rot to be bothered.
I’m sure this will work, he’s great with water… the gulf of mexico, the reflecting pool
Not to mention the Strait of Hormuz. (Didn’t he literally try to rename THAT the Strait of America too?)
Not even embarrassed anymore. Just tired. So very tired.
You mean ‘Creepy Uncle Touchy’, the paedophile formerly known as Donald Trump.
This is your reminder that the president has no enumerated power to name things. The president can say “hence forth Alice and Bob will be known as Art and Betty” and we can all still call them whatever we want. You will not be sent to jail for talking about the Gulf of Mexico since that is what everyone calls it.
What an idiot! edit: Make an executive order for a mandatory first child name be Donald. Why not?
Yeah well I just signed an order calling it the Great Canadian lakes.
All medical personal report to sickbay 15 immediately.
