I think you are mistaken about his base.  Many Republican House and Senate members owe their seats to many of Trump's supporters.  Perhaps you have forgotten what party will be in the majority.  There are already some disagreements with Trump and there will be more.  Trump may be arrogant, but he is no fool.  He knows abandoning his base is dangerous and will compromise.

Wait and see.

He does need his base.

Dangerous how? He'll be president for 4 years, so legal problems for 4 years. That's all he cares about.

 

Plus enriching himself wherever he can.

I looked into this and it turns out if he puts in some loyalists in a particular geography department he'll be able to change any name he pleases.

The people of Alaska are very much opposed to changing the name of Mt. Dinali.

I will let you have Denali, if we can change the lake in Minneapolis from the unpronounceable Bde Maka Ska back to Calhoun and we get rid of the newly designed state flag that is something Somalia would use. I doubt the majority of people living in Minneapolis could tell you the new name. Lake Bde Maka Ska rolls off the tongue.

By dangerous, I mean he needs Congress and Congress needs him.  No compromising means failure to tackle pressing things such as illegal immigration and depoliticizing the DOJ . 

IMO you have underestimated Trump's goals. Label me an optimist, but I would like to think he will put the country first before enrichment.  If America moves forward so will Trump's riches.

the Gulf of Mexico has stood for 400 years.

Perhaps a compromise?

Golfo de Estados Unidos? 

 

That would be a compromise, as the official name of Mexico is

............Estados Unidos Mexicanos.

 

How much will it officially cost, and will Trump send the bill to Greenland?

They may have made major political contributions, but they alone did not elect Donald Trump.  What about the maga facists, to use your favorite description, who voted for him.  Quite sure there aren't that many billionaire maga facists in America.

Then again maybe your definition of base is different than mine.

Personally, I am against all this name changing of various geographical locations, including the renaming of 9 U.S. military bases.  We have an Hawaiian activist in the Hawaii legislature that wants to change the small town of Capt. Cook to a  Hawaiian name.  None of this BS is going to change history.  Good or bad, it is what it is.

Changing Burma to Myanmar has not benefited the country, and so on.

Alaska.

Tallest mountain in North America.

My dictionary spells it Denali and not Dinali.  As a history and geography buff I know exactly what state Mt. Denali is located in.

I heard a different scenario to Trump's 51st State of Canada, Canada is not interested but will gladly take Washington State, Oregon and California ( blue States ) as their 11th Province with universal free Healthcare for all and no more assault rifle/hand gun deaths. 😉😆

I would make no such predictions, especially considering Trump's rapidly accelerating mental and physical decline.

That does make sense.  Though Mexico still has the most dominant coastline, in length.  About 100 kms more than USA, and Cuba having <400 kms of coastline with the Gulf.

 

Then...

Naples would be on the Gulf of America.

 

People in Naples might not like that.

 

As I recall, those who live in Naples actually LIKE the name....

Gulf of Mexico.

 

============

 

But, Greenland is a good idea.

Canada already belongs to the USA...so no difference.

Well the French don't call America, America.. They don't call Germany Germany either.

 

Maybe Trump wants one of his businesses to get into printing maps and atlases.

 

Start a campaign to rename the country to Usono or Freedonia

 

 

Trump should build bridges, just as China has done....but from...

 

 

Cancun to Cuba, and then from Cuba to Key West.

 

Also, ...  Baja California should belong to California....just due to the name, and also the position of Baja CALIFORNIA.

I rather doubt it if that will stop him.  He's faced more serious challenges before and appears to be stronger than ever.  Two assassination attempts and two impeachments has only driven his polls higher.  His detractors don't want to admit that they are surprised he hasn't thrown in the towel.  This really frustrates the hell out of them.

Other name changes:

 

 

New Engand becomes New America

 

Georgia is renamed America

 

Angola Indiana will henceforth be called America Indiana. Its twin Angola New York will do the same. Indiana pondering a reband to Americana.

 

There are quite a few Armenias able to qualift for a job lot of America nameplates'

 

Little Bangladesh in Los Angeles now known as Canada.

 

Bolivia, NC= America NC

 

Brazil Indiana willbe confusingly called America, Americana

 

China New York will mostly keep its name, now Chiinaa

 

Cuba Missouri is now Bacardi

 

There are some Denmarks, Finlands, Lebanons, Maltas, Mexicos, Morroccos, Norways, Perus,Polands,  Singapores, Swedens, Wales, Caledonias, Ulsters to cleanse from the maps.

 

Palestine, Ohio of course is Beyond the Pale.

 

Panama City of course is now Van Halen City

You know a lot of the people that voted for him did so for the anticipated entertainment he would bring. Yes, such people deserve the worse that he will bring, but unfortunately the worse that he will bring will impact everyone.
