Donald I, emperor of the world.

Every single chapter (12) describes one thing the Nazis did when they were in power, and is exactly what Musk and Trump are doing now.

For those who still think we'll be able to weather the fascist onslaught, we won't.

Trump said he would change the gulfs name. Google duly obliged

Come on Donny, there's work to do here

The name "America" comes from the Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci. German cartographer Martin Waldseemüller first used the name in 1507 on a world map.

New Orleans is named after Philippe II, Duke of Orléans, the Regent of France at the time the city was founded in 1718. The city's original name was La Nouvelle-Orléans, which is French for "New Orleans"

The real name is still showing first and Trump's vanity name second.

If you're in the USA, maps, I believe show the gulf of America

This is correct and in line with Google's world wide policy on geographical naming.

For tin pot dictatorships variations requested by country Governments, Google will display local names with the worldwide name in brackets. For the rest of the world, Google will display the worldwide name with the local name in brackets.

The local name will only appear at a certain level of magnification*. When zoomed out, people will see the worldwide name as that is far more important than what the local dictator wants.

Interestingly they have not relabelled Denali yet.

*usually - they seem to have made an exception for Donny. If you want to see the difference - take a look at the Sea of Japan and compare with the Gulf of Mexico.

US military has seen a 15 year high in recruitment figures since Trump took office

US military has seen a 15 year high in recruitment figures since Trump took office

Well - nearly right.

US Military recruitment was down in 2022 falling short of targets and again in 2023. In October 2023 the US Army overhauled recruitment strategies to focus on young adults who have attended college rather than high school graduates and established a dedicated recruitment workforce to streamline and improve efficiency. The military also implemented a medical pilot programme to allow people previously blocked by medical conditions.

As a result of this recruitment rose 12.5% in 2024 with a high in December 2024. This progress has continued into January with Trump signing orders that allowed those discharged for failing to take the covid vaccine to be reinstated.

But of course it's Trump that is responsible for this improvement in recruiting, even though it's the result of changes made during the Biden administration well before he took office.

Trump won the election in November, that's when the surge began. Recruitment dropped off in 2020 when Biden was in office

Nah that's just the type of spin Trump loves and Hegseth is only to happy to provide, anything to massage his bosses ego.
In response to the alarming recruitment shortfalls post covid, the US Army announced a overhaul of its recruitment procedure's in October 2023 leading to a 12.5% increase the following year to October 2024 before even a single vote was cast, but when has that ever stopped Trump claiming credit or his subscribers believing his new truth.

 

[CXRAndy]

Just like Biden claimed he was instrumental in the hostage release from Hamas.

But we all know who it was, even before Trump took office

 

[tarric]

Yes Biden.

Yo do realise Biden was inaugurated in January 21, so anything that happened in 20 was down to your boy Trump.
