Google quickly bows to Trump order and renames Lake Ontario 'Lake America'

14 hours ago (nzherald.co.nz)

Does the executive office actually have the authority to do this, or should Google be waiting for congress.

  • It's "the palace", not "the executive office". The US first got rid of a king, and then 250 years later elected an emperor.

this is the will of the american people executed by the duly elected executive. yes, google bowed to the will of the american public as it should.

  • Did the American people want to rename a lake? Do you really believe it was their "will" and not the temper tantrum of an insecure little man who's a sore loser?

    • Elections have consequences. I doubt anyone rational would have thought it would be a useful expenditure of time to get into this particular pissing match, but here we are. Maybe in the next presidential election the 87 million eligible voters who chose not to vote in 2024 might choose to participate.
