What do Americans gain by changing the name of Lake Ontario?

International ridicule.

We don't get anything. DJT signed this executive order on about the same day that a report came out saying the USA's defense missiles in Europe are critically low and unable to repel a serious Russian attack because the missiles have been moved to the middle east and/or used against Iran.

Now we're talking about Lake Ontario instead of our inability to defend our European interests and positions.

It was always intended to wag the dog.

He's only doing it to elicit anger. He's just a petty little bully. While it might distract from the Epstein files or the domestic policy dumpster fire, i don't think he's doing it for any other reason than it amuses him to piss people off.

Embarassment, shame.

Americans get nothing. The president gets another distraction from whatever batch of crimes he's committing today.

a distracting debate

It's just culture war bullshit. Trump gets to distinguish himself from other politicians and pretend he's doing something for the nationalists without actually spending any money or improving their lives in any way. It also means people talk about this instead of the Iran War or the Epstein files or the masked thugs raiding workplaces and hunting down minorities.

Keep an eye out for the other side of this which will be establishment politicians running on "restoring sanity" by changing it back to Lake Ontario, because they don't want to run on abolishing ICE or anything that actually matters.

The American people don't gain anything.

The American regime is "flooding the zone".

It's just another loyalty test thing so the wannabe emperor can quickly and easily determine who's openly on his side.

A bunch of stupid headlines to block the stupider headlines from view

A reputation for being untrustworthy, and pushing economic activity away from their economy.

Noting at all.

Government =/= people

A distraction

We get nothing which is what we get from most of the things happening currently.

It's not about Americans at all. This is entirely about the rapist-in-chief's pwecious fee-fees.

Americans didn't. Just one douche bag

Even less credibility internationally.

A sense of pride and accomplishment

Distraction. From what, I couldn't say exactly. Actually, yes I can. High prices, family members being killed in foreign conflicts, political grifting, Epstein files...

10 minutes of nothing important being destroyed.

It's just Trump trying to assert domince.

Nothing. Trump, however, thinks he's winning bigly.

They didn't change it. Only usa recognizes it as such. That's like me saying your name is now Tony. Doesn't make it true. Unless your name actually is Tony, I suppose...

Actual virtue signaling. Unlike you know... whenever the right tries to call something out as virtue signaling.

A sense of pride and accomplishment?

Besides the distraction, it's a weak claim to the water within for the inevitable water wars.

For instance, when they come over as tourists to Europe, they will find out that fewer people will be willing to answer them in English.

International disdain.

Trump gets a boner to rape and malest with

I'm into it.

If he can throw symbolic red meat to his base without actually hurting anyone, he should do more of that. Rename the whole damn country dumbfuckistan. I don't care.

The same thing they gain from investing in Leprechaun gold mining companies.

Bunch of bots on twitter circle jerking themselves into a frothing fury guffawing how great Trump is.
