Department of War is far more honest. The Gulf name doesn't mean anything, it's a joke and we all know it.

> it's a joke and we all know it.

"grab them by the pussy" -> just a joke

selling cans of beans from the oval office -> just a joke

shilling a pillow company from the white house -> just a joke

"let's march to the capitol" -> just a joke

doge -> just a joke

"give me the peace nobel price" -> just a joke

"Ukraine started it" -> just a joke

"6 gazillion percent tariff on china" -> just a joke

I rug pulled my supporters with a meme coin -> just a joke

I do obvious market manipulation to help inside traders -> just a joke

It's all so convenient...

It's not a joke and I don't know it. Trump is gradually demanding the authority to control every aspect of American life, and you're enabling it by not taking his entry-level steps seriously. I hope you'll realize your mistake while he's still stuck on relatively harmless things.

  • A gag, a giggle.

    Trump, or the federal government? This trend is bipartisan, and renaming the Gulf doesn't really hold a candle to PRISM.

It is a “joke” insofar as it’s an asinine undertaking.

It’s not a “joke” in the sense of being lighthearted or unserious: there was a press conference at the White House. Official US maps have been updated. Google Maps has been updated.

It is not joke. He punished companies for not obeying. "It was just a joke bro" is stupid manipulative excuse in normal situations, but in the case of Trump, it is a complete unambigous lie.

It was not a joke, no one laught. It is what republican leader said in all seriouaness and insisted on. And his voters seen it as a show of strength.
