Trumps’s order affects the U.S. Geographic Names Information System (GNIS), which ​sets the standards for official U.S. maps.

Google Maps has changed the name of “Lake Ontario” to “Lake America” for U.S. users to reflect President Donald Trump’s executive order renaming the lake, according to ​a Google statement.

Trump announced on Thursday that he was changing the name ‌of the smallest of the five Great Lakes, part of an escalating trade feud with Canada that has prompted the two countries to impose reciprocal tariffs on billions of dollars ​in goods.

The president’s order affects the U.S. Geographic Names Information System (GNIS), which ​sets the standards for official U.S. maps. It does not have ⁠any impact on Canadian naming conventions or how the rest of the ​world refers to the lake.

    It’s important to remember that Google was not required in any shape or form to make this change. They simply decided that they’d prefer to continue sucking Trump’s mushroom cock and make the change.

    Stop using Google products. Also, remember this, if the fascists ever lose power. Remember that they were happy and excited to jump in bed with the fascist pedophiles, because they’ll likely try to bury their actions during this administration and try to appeal to whoever is in power afterwards.
