Where does this lunacy end ?

Responding to Trump’s proclamation, Google has changed their maps from Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America.

Can he rename the planets? Will Uranus become Steve Bannon? How about the Periodic Table? Will he change gold from AU to DJT, atomic weight about 350? Would chemists complain?

Feel free to join in.

His face is a moonscape of cracks and craters.

Uranus is smooth. It is a gas giant. (Ah! More planetary puns.)
