Trump plans to announce that the US will call the Persian Gulf the Arabian Gulf. Move sparks outrage in Iran as diplomats try to broker deal between Tehran and Washington over nuclear programme.
Trump plans to announce US will refer to Arabian Gulf rather than Persian Gulf
Obligatory, "I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but..."
Is he doing this so we get used to hearing this dumb shit, then when he goes to rename the US to "Dumfuqistan" or something, we're like, there goes crazy old Trump renaming things again! Then when we pull out the constitution, his lawyers can go, that was a rule for the US, we're not the US anymore, so that rule is void...
little-known loophole of "who's gonna stop me"
Entirely unnecessary. He can just say the rule is void, and there will be absolutely zero resistance to it.
He doesn’t even have to say it’s void, he’ll just do it. The libs will cry about how it’s not allowed, some judge will tell him to stop, but he’ll kill the judge and the libs will move onto the more worthwhile outrage of him being mean to Vietnam war criminals again
I hope he does it then. The US shooting itself in the foot to death would be poetic.
He's not that smart
He's doing this purely because he can and to spite Iran
he doesn't even need to be intentionally doing it; the inevitable result is the same
