President Donald Trump plans to announce while on his trip to Saudi Arabia next week that the United States will now refer to the Persian Gulf as the Arabian Gulf or the Gulf of Arabia

St. Petersburg is Leningrad. Volgograd is Stalingrad. Koenigsberg is Kalingrad. Cambodia is Kampuchea. Saigon is Ho Cho Minh City. Yes, we know, on and on, Comrade, we know, we know.

[Tree of Knowledge 2,097]

Once Trump acquires Greenland and Canada we should seriously consider renaming the Atlantic Ocean the Trump Ocean.  

[squistion 2,473]

The random whim of one person can change the name of things that everyone has used for hundreds of years?

I suspect this starts when Trump doesn’t know or can’t remember the names or locations of places on maps. It’s possible his staff does this for him then they have to get it on maps, etc.

Istanbul was Constantinople, now it's Istanbul not Constantinople. 

Been a long time gone, why did Constantinople get the works? 

That's nobody's business but the Turks.

I hate the name Myanmar.  It will always be Burma to me.  African nations change names constantly.

The credible rumor is the name most likely will be the Great Trump Ocean

Lol, now do mountains, streets, professional sports teams, schools, military ships, military bases and anything else you morons decide you don't like.

You and your ilk are hypocritical clowns who have zero self-awareness.

I'm personally not in favor of the monuments/streets/bases renaming thing but I can at least see why liberals and non-liberals alike want it.

I have no objection to "Persian Gulf", it must be several millennia old. But I'll tell you who does object: the mullahs of Iran who changed their country's name from Persia to Iran. "Persia" is the name preferred by Iranians who oppose the regime.

I was just thinking of this one.  My wife and I were looking at a map of India and Pakistan to figure out if both abut China, before they start nuking each other and get China involved (short answer -- hard to tell.  India does, but it's not clear if the northern territory of Kashmir belongs to Pakistan or India).

Anyway, we saw Myanmar and I said "that name is dumb, it used to be something else, right?"  Sure enough, Burma.

Heck, we grew up during the Soviet Union, so all those "Stanistans" are just a blur to me.  And like you said, Africa changes it's names more than a trans teenager.

At least Constantinople was in Turkey (I suspect they did it because the Turks were ethnically cleansing Greeks from the nation in the 1920s but anyway...), and those examples yeah were cities or places within nations so it was always their "business."

You're right going around renaming international bodies of water with centuries old names is like walking around telling people you shall henceforth call chestnuts "Trumpnuts" or mockingbirds "Melaniabeaks".

Even Old New York was once New Amsterdam. 

Why they changed it, I can't say...

Trump to rename the Persian Gulf as the “Arabian Gulf.”

Because when the Middle East is already a powder keg, what you really need… is a branding exercise.

Next up:

•Rename the Eiffel Tower “America’s Tall Friend”

•Mount Rushmore? “Trumpmore”

•Pacific Ocean? “Atlantic 2”

There had been complaints for decades that the Aunt Jemima character was rooted in racist stereotypes.

Sure.  Maybe more than one person liked the name change.

Probably next on his renaming list - "The Black Sea".  Really seems like a DEI decision.

Dip5hit.   The GOP controlled House spent time passing that bill.   All he did was distract a bunch of his lackeys.   But hey, go ahead and count it as a big win for MAGAts everywhere.
