What would it be like to not have a complete idiot as our President?

[msc545]

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday afternoon to change the name of Lake Ontario to “Lake America,” his latest escalation as he engages in a tense trade war with Canada.

We wouldn’t be in a war, we’d have a better economy with more employment, and we wouldn't be the laughing stock of the world, the national deficit wouldn’t have grown by such great numbers in the last 2 years.
It’s well noted that the country’s economy does better under democrats. This is the proof.

[Amy10223]

Thanks for the MHO

[lilBigPotato]

And I signed an executive order today to rename Donald Trump to Donald Dumb 🤷‍♀️

[DryGermanGuy]

😂😂😂

[Alex-Snow]

Good one... I agree!

[Sevenpointfive]

*Donald Dump

[msc545]

@Sevenpointfive Dump of Donald.

[Danzigdawson]

What's pathetic and funny at the same time is how uninspired it is. Thank the fucking lord we're not in the era of discovery anymore because, with trump, everything would be named America or trump:

• Hudson River – America river
• New York City – America City
• Boston – America city B
• Chicago – America City C
• Mississippi River – American River
• Colorado River – Donald J. Trump River
• North Carolina – North America
• North Dakota – North-er America
• South Carolina – South-er America
• South Dakota – South America
• Texas – Southcentral America
• California – Southwestern America
• Florida – Southeastern America
• Lake Ontario – Lake America
• Lake Eerie – Lake Epstein
• Lake Huron – Lake Donald
• Lake Michigan – trump Lake
• Lake Superior – Lake Donald John Trump
• Brooklyn Bridge – Bridge of America
• Golden Gate bridge – Gate of America Bridge
• United States of America – American America of America (AAA)

Don't give the idiot any ideas he may use some of yours!!!

[Masie]

I live in a very red state and people here are getting sick of this nonsense. There are so. any more important things to do rather than rename stuff to try to insult another country. It comes off childish to many that even voted for him.

Our state's representation to Washington is trying to work on help for our farmers. They aren't concerning themselves with what geographical features they should rename, which isn't important. I really wish he would focus on issues that matter.

[msc545]

Wish that the people in your state would exercise better judgment before they vote. This is the result of that bad judgment. Hurts everyone.

[Amy10223]

Those same farmers that are suffering now all voted for him.

[Masie]

I find it quite presumptive that both of you think we all voted for him.

[msc545]

I don't think that you all voted for him I never said that I did. I think enough of you voted for him that you created a really serious problem for the rest of us.

[Masie]

Is this not an inclusive statement? "Those same farmers that are suffering now all voted for him."

[Masie]

Notice the ALL part.

[msc545]

Well, it started off by saying "Those same farmers that voted for him," so I don't think that's inclusive. I don't think the person who made that statement meant to include everybody in your state. I was not the person who made that statement, and I would not include everybody in your state because that would be foolish. However, that being said, enough people in your state voted for this very ill man that you have created a real problem for yourselves and everyone else. You yourself said that you live in a red state, and we all know what a red state is, just like we all know what a blue state is. It means the majority. It doesn't mean everybody. I think you should stop harping on this issue.

[Amy10223]

I said, "Those same famers that are suffering now all voted for him." Are you a farmer? No, I wasn't being presumptive, and yet the majority of you in your state voted for him.

[purplepoppy]

So how many other countries changed Gulf of Mexico to America? Not many if any. Same with this little stunt, it'll cost the USA millions but everyone else will continue as usual.

I'd love it if Canada retaliated and renamed the USA

[msc545]

If they renamed the USA, it would be something like "Shithole of Trump".

[Danzigdawson]

@purplepoppy We have already done it: South Saskatchewan. It's our 11th province. I really hate prime minister trump, though.

[canamlusciouslad73]

Trump is a senile sot !!!

[MrChinaski]

'The United States of Southern Canada'

[canamlusciouslad73]

@MrChinaski EVEN BETTER, MrChinaski !!!

[MrChinaski]

@Danzigdawson Governor Trump?

[Danzigdawson]

@MrChinaski "Premier"... my mistake. Prime minister is the leader of the whole country in English; but in french, the same title (premier ministre) is used both for the provincial premier or the country's prime minister.

[Amy10223]

Yes, have Canada change the name to "the DisUnited States".

[canamlusciouslad73]

@Amy10223 The Divided States Of Amerikkka !!!

[LiamS95]

He can call it anything he wants but it will always be Lake Ontario to me. As I have done some great salmon fishing on it both on the Canadian side and the American side. There are spots on Lake Ontario that are around 800 feet deep.

[Twalli]

The thing is nobody really cares what Trump calls them. I still call The Gulf "The Gulf of Mexico" and I'll still call the lake "Lake Ontario" no law can take that away from me. Also, Trump knows that these wouldn't even pass as laws, which is why all he does is make executive orders, because nobody gives a fuck.

[loveslongnails]

It would be like when Obama was President and the world respected the USA and we had allies. I shutter to think at the point differential between Obama and Trump when it comes to a standardized Western model IQ test. There's no chance whatsoever Trump could make it through an entire test.

[888theGreat]

Lower cost of living. No wars, peace and prosperity. Savings. Could pay more debt off. Less political murders. More ability to prepare for retirement.

[msc545]

Also, less international embarrassment and mockery.

[Spencer10]

Canadians just shrug and go about their lives...

[lightbulb27]

ya gotta wonder. maybe it's a sign it's really hopeless they can't do anything real, so they makeup silly stuff to make some news.

[Alex-Snow]

It would be pure heaven not to have that international embarrassment and idiot as president.

[canamlusciouslad73]

Can PM Mark Carney change Canada's name to "DEFINITELY Not America North?"

[Bricealan]

@msc545 We had a complete idiot for a president... I think he is now in an institution!!!

[msc545]

Where was this, and how did you get him into an institution?

[Snakeyes7]

Yeah I don't get it either. What does this solve?

I think he renamed the Gulf of Mexico to work around one of the restrictions the Biden administration dropped after the election. Maybe this is for the same reason?

[MrChinaski]

Ask the Canadians.

[MrChinaski]

Carney is increasingly being referred to as The Leader of the Free World.

[MrChinaski]

In VERY EXCITING news, Trump's threatened to deploy the US military to lower bond prices.

[msc545]

LOL!

[MrChinaski]

*raise bond prices, my bad

[msc545]

Well, Carney is behaving, acting, and talking like a real leader should. That is a lot better than the really serious problem that we have here in the US.

[msc545]

When Mr. Carney is finished working on the bond prices, do you think he might be able to be hired to work on the gasoline prices too?

[SeekerOfTruth007]

I don't know. Every President we've had in my entire lifetime was a complete idiot.

I'm in favor of a Constitutional Amendment abolishing the office of President, and just having Congress have all Executive Power.

[msc545]

There is a difference between people disagreeing with you and people being objectively stupid. Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't make them stupid, but probably anybody who's stupid would disagree with you. I hope that makes some sense for you.

[slatyb]

Like it was from 2020 to 2024.
