More deaths in Iran and reportedly at a wedding?

Also everyone (I mean politicians across the world) seem to have gone very quiet re Ukraine and Gaza, and the poor folk in Afghanistan rarely get a mention, unless of course, they’ve dared to attempt to escape their situation and bob across the channel.

What a truly horrible world we inhabit. 😕😕

So much misery caused by so few.
I could weep 😢

Would love to rename Trump but my post would be promptly removed.

😂😂😂😂 Me too and I’d be barred forever.

POTUS has signed another special directive which requires the Federal Government and all of USA to refer to Lake America as opposed to Lake Ontario.

He has not got the power to change the name for Canada or the rest of the world.

Just another ego trip for him 🤦‍♀️

It doesn't matter what he wants places called, once he's out of the way the names will revert to their original form - if anyone uses the names he chooses in the first place.

Well, Apple has knuckled under and all their maps now show 'Lake America'

Next he will want to call the USA Trumpton.

Oh he has.

He is now busily reaching peak insanity

He could with some justification call them Dire Straits

I think you are right.
But tragically there have been yet more civilian fatalities in Iran, some of them children. Again.

Yes, the POTUS who wants to call Lake Ontario ‘Lake America’ now wants to call the Straits of Hormuz ‘Trump Straits’.
He obviously hasn’t yet reached peak stupid.
