At what point does it become a badge of honour to have donald rename something because of you?

History is probably gonna look rather kindly on those that hit back during these times. I wonder if it might be a bit like in the 50s or 60s when you got to tell your kids that you beat up the bad guys during WW2, or fought for civil rights?

As every schoolchild knows, the easiest way to remember all the Great Lakes is HAMES.

Edit: aptly, the acronym can now be SHAME!

In Hiberno English HAMES also works

This is so stupid. Are you really gonna let him remain president for the rest of his 4 year term?

At this point the American people have no additional say, except indirectly through congress. Barring an impeachment with a successful conviction (extremely unlikely without a blowout loss for the republicans in November), the man will "serve" the rest of his term whether we like it or not.

You think a president should be impeached for making a stupid name change? Cape Kennedy, Denali, etc come to mind
