A name is a name...or is it!

 Trump suggests renaming the Strait of Hormuz after himself, causing fresh trouble for the GOP. The president’s effort to rename Lake Ontario was not popular. He’s nevertheless already eyeing a rebrand for yet another waterway. (Maddow Blog).

In a normal world, aka a world without Trump as President, and not having Republicans in the majority, kowtowing and bending at the knee for every whim and wasteful wish projecting out of any of the Trump orifices, we would be in shock and awe, to have the President of the United States, in the middle of a war he started, ignore the death and destruction, the affordability issues he created, and somehow decide that his ego needs a little more soothing, by naming a foreign part of the world after himself. (Wow, that one very long sentence).

But when the President is a mentally ill person suffering the dire consequences of being a malignant narcissist, and this President believes that he and only he is King of the World, and the same aforementioned person surrounds himself with eunuchs, headlines like renaming the Strait of Hormuz after himself are sadly just another day in the life of Americans. 

It was a war, then it was not a war, then it was, as Trump stated, just “an excursion”, then it had a wham bam no thank you name, Operation Epic Fury. It was indeed an epic mistake, and the Fury somehow has lasted since February 28, 2026, so its fury has just evaporated! 

As pathetic as it seems, for Trump to even consider out loud the name change, what should really be worrisome is the fact that this idea is even being considered, and NO consideration is being given to ending this Trump-Iran War at all. And even worse, is the fact that now that Congress is back from yet another vacation, no one with the power to stop this madness seems to be making an attempt to do so!
