You know what, I am in favor. So that the world may remember how much of a stupid douche he was and how he thought that renaming it meant he won

This just in: Google and Apple announce they've updated their maps.
yet another reason OpenStreetMaps is superior
I'm trying to switch to osm exclusively. It's a little rough without an app (that I can find) that includes details (stops, schedule, eta) on nyc subway and bus lines.
CoMaps is available on F-Droid and it works really well. There are little nuances like search not displaying the suburb for a street address, especially where I live, so it takes a bit of guessing. Overall though, offline, open source, great navigation, zero complaints.
Edit: fixed typo.
I have bad luck with that in Barcelona as well, and often have to go to Maps or Here We Go.
That said, there's also overlays for OsmAnd+. The one I have for bike routes is much better than Google.
I believe that there are dedicated apps for transit that are as good as Google / Apple maps. This would require splitting into two apps to replace one, but at least you could move away from the major map apps without losing that very useful functionality for transit.
Osmand app on Android is great for me (UK).
Trump Strait
Says the man who gave blowjob to Bill Clinton.
Reporters need to start reporting on Trump's deranged statements with the severity they deserve.
Ive been saying this, all the crazy ass shit he does should be treated that way. Report on him like Obama. "Unfortunately, and unsurprisingly Mr. Trump goes off the rails again wanting to name the straight of Hormuz after himself"
Instead we get "Trump Proposes Renaming Strait After American President" and other soft-peddling verbiage.
Aka we never have to hear 90% of his deranged ramblings. We'd only hear of the stuff that will actually affect us. Not the dementia riddled slop that comes out of his brain.
Oops. Did I say brain? Sorry, he doesn't have one. I meant mouth.
We're about ten years too late to make that train

Let's just rename earth to Uncle Trumpies Pervert Palace
Orange clown speaks again. At least it didn't crash the stock market this time.

An act or instance of foolishness.
-
A costly undertaking having an absurd or ruinous outcome.
"Trump's Back Passage."
Because he claims to own it yet is unable to control it.
Everyday with this fucking guy
It hasn't been this bad since Alexander the Great

Honestly he should do it. Etch this embarrassment even deeper into the history books.
The trend of his megalomania is almost exactly tracking the trend of his dementia.
It's the disinhibition that goes with the squash rot.
Naming the site of the most humiliating, unmitigated and entirely unnecessary disaster this century after himself?
Is... Is he gaining self awareness?
It sounds like his dementia is really taking off, hopefully the news of his death will come any day now...
Please just fucking die already, you orange sack of shit.
Yup. I used to want him to survive long enough to die in prison. Now I just want him tj fucking die. Fuck this orange turd rapist.
Trump proposes renaming Earth to Trumpland.

Planet America.

Minor adjustment: 'Trump's Strait'
It has an Achilles' Heel ring to it.
Ah shit! I put all my money on either "The Freedom Strait" or "The American Strait". I shoulda known.
Canada Proposes Renaming "Strait of Hormuz" to "Strait of our Moose"
Nah, rename that one.
“Iran takes Trump’s Strait, demands repayment.”
“Trump’s Strait under fire”
“America vows to destroy blockage of Trump’s Strait”
“Trump fails to secure Strait
Someone can probably do better than me here, but I feel the name has potential for ridicule

At least hes owning up to his failure i guess.
Iran is gonna have a field day making puns about it.
The "Trump Strait" can not even be penetrated properly after using literally tons of explosives...

Only Trump and his passel o' rectum cleaners will take it seriously. The rest of the world laughs tiredly at him. And any such name changes will be changed back in the future, anyway.

Ok fuck this. Fine. Planet Trump. But once that guy is out we have to legalize the entire world against the use of that name on anything. They cannot take any office or name even a broken down car with that name. We revert every law, every rename, everything. Like the Disney movie with the purple guy that had a glove.
A literally fucking cartoon villain
By this time next year he'll have renamed half the major cities on earth
