What I want to know is, why does India get an ocean named after it? Who does India think they are anyway? I think Trump ought to rename the Atlantic Ocean. It ought to be the American Ocean. Hell, Atlantis probably never existed anyway.
No, no, wait, the Pacific Ocean! Rename the Pacific Ocean! It's the biggest one, it should be the American Ocean.
It's not at all peaceful, why is it even called Pacific anyway?

I'd argue the Pacific Ocean should be renamed the Plastic Ocean.

I don't understand why you seem confused.

Clearly, it's

old / outdated Pacific Ocean = Left Trump American Ocean, or just "Left Trump Ocean" for short
old / outdate Atlantic Ocean = Right Trump American Ocean, or just "Right Trump Ocean" for short

I think Britain should just get to name everying as we used to own it all anyway.
We just got tired of being in charge and decided to let you guys be in charge of yourselves for a while is all.

Yes, as soon as you become 52nd State, you'll get to vote for Trump dynasty, and thereby be part of the solution rather than part of the problem in the naming process.

the Trump family came from Kallstadt in Germany

will it be renamed as Trump.Stadt?

Yep, a small island nation becoming a global superpower was pretty amazing and unlikely to ever happen again.
It's not like Britain ever had a huge army and just relied entirely on the navy.
I'm hot saying it was all great or that it was all a bed of Roses, just that it was an achievement for a small nation.

Too complicated for the average MAGA, I mean you expect them to know left and right?
Better idea would be Pacific renamed Donald ocean and Atlantic the Trump ocean that way when looking at a map with the USA err sorry Tumplandia in the middle as it should be after all its the greatestest country in the world you can read the oceans as Donald Trump.

Yes, it’s an amazing accomplishment. Even more so when you realize the whole island was populated by a shipwrecked brother and sister.

I do recall a conversation I had with my junior sister maybe two decades ago. She was visiting from London. The conversation drifted to the English and their achievements. Mind blowing! The England itself is not a particularly big place. We marveled how from that rather small place they struck out, spreading their language, culture all over the globe. Given the extent and reach of just the language it is an astonishing achievement. And it was through less brute force than skillfull diplomacy. One has to also admit that the Navy is a much more potent control instrument than meets the mind. Control the seas, you may just control the world. Control the lands, not so much.

HAHAHA To me that was what Brexit was all about. But it appears that dream is dead!

Plus the kind of folks who build empires are no more popular in UK or Europe. There are no holy empires. Empires are built by sons of bitches; liberals and progressives send them into terminal decline

The urge for empire no longer exists in the UK.
We're quite happy to just be a trading partner with everyone now.
That time is over and will never return.
 
My name is shared with an island in the Caribbean and part of an important spot in the uk

I could find no Caribbean island from the list I looked that sounds remotely connected to anything important in the UK. :) The closest was a York Island in Antigua and Barbuda. I also ran into a Dyke Island; but that cannot be your name :)

The UK name is two parts the first is not my name.

It is the biggest something in the uk
 
Actually, the Brits should have handed all their lands and stuff over to the Irish, as the Brits were able to run around the planet and subdue all sorts of other peoples, but they never quite managed to do so with some folks just a short sail away to their west.

So it is obvious the Irish were stronger than the Brits and so the Brits should have handed over all that stuff to the Irish. The Brits would have been perfectly safe, as the Irish weren't the least bit interested in trying to take over the pitiful islands to their east; the many little ones and that big one.

Anyway, the Irish would have kept the Brits happily employed building those neat sailing ships and crewing them under Irish guidance.

Just imagine, in North America, India, and other areas we'd all be speaking/reading/writing Irish now, instead of that weird English language. Of course, that would also mean that even to this day all those areas would be under good Irish control and a happy world it would be. Putin could never have been able to handle an Irish Empire. In fact, I think mainland China would have been completely taken over by the Irish.

Upon deeper consideration, I think by now this would be called Irish Earth. All the planet would be speaking Irish and we'd all be so happy together. Maybe even those two world wars wouldn't have happened. Nobody could defy the Irish will.
