 Yes he does. His executive order to rename the body of water is pertinent
to US federal documents. He�s not forcing the international community to
change their documents.

 They never will. At least not on the order of a convicted criminal.
And learn to give appropriate replies to posts.
 

 Last I saw the international community goes along with the policies of the
US. Even those who hate Trump.

Hi badgolferman,
It's interesting to read how Joerg Lorenz thinks, as he's the
quintessential uneducated prole in this (and the Android) ng.
Joerg is *different* than the Apple trolls such as Jolly Roger, who is the
canonical "Apple is my God" troll, which means we can learn from both.
Joerg is, in some ways, much like Alan Baker, in that both feel they
understand fully what they don't even scratch the surface of in knowledge.
Neither Joerg Lorenz nor Alan Baker delve any deeper into anything other
than scratching the surface - and both are mere parrots - but fundamentally
- while they're both mere unthinking parrots - Joerg Lorenz feels that
everyone else is stupid - and only he - Joerg the Scholar - knows all.
And yet, paradoxically, in every post, Joerg knows less than nothing.
As for your statement that the free world follows the US leadership, I'm
sure it's commonly done - but also - they break free of US hegemony too.
If, for example, over time, the US renames the gulf in question, it may
that we experience a switchover period of confusion, much like "X, formerly
known as twitter" did for a while, and it may be that if the Democrats ever
win back the swing states, that they can switch the naming back, but I
suspect what will happen, for a while, is what happened when I was in
elementary school for the island of Formosa.
On all the maps when I was a child, the islands were named both Formosa and
Taiwan (as the wall maps dated to well before Alaska & Hawaii were states).
Over time, we started seeing the school maps switch from Formosa to Taiwan.
Same kind of slow-transformation thing may happen here - what do you think?
