I don’t understand why the phrasing of the order matters. It’s very obviously a petulant and childish move made in response to trade negotiation failures with Canada. That’s literally what Trump himself has said:

> The United States is giving serious consideration to changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America in that we don’t expect to be doing much business with Ontario any longer. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Because my parent comment said that he was throwing a tantrum. I don't see any evidence that he is balling his eyes out, trashing the Oval Office, or screaming. The order is not written in childish frustration, but in a professional tone.

You really should renew your Truth Social Premium subscription.

This is head in the sand behavior and I question your comment being put here in good faith.

These actions are not commonplace. This is not how you run a country. The long held names of bodies of water with international neighbors are now suddenly up for changes on a whim. No discussion, no convincing, just I say so.

>No discussion, no convincing, just I say so.

That's what it means being the president. Executive power.

Executive power for... renaming things? We do agree that the US president should have better things to do, right?

Reading this comment I can't help but think of a so-called "true american" in fatigues stroking his AR15 like a member.

"Executive POWER...."

That such an order exists is the giveaway

It's part of the "flood the field with bullshit" scheme of Steve Bannon
