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.

He is now busily reaching peak insanity

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

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.

He could with some justification call them Dire Straits

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

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 🤦‍♀️

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