He just goes out of his way to be offensive these days:
President Donald Trump is toying with renaming one of the world’s most critical shipping routes after—who else—himself.
Speaking at an investor forum in Miami on Friday night, Trump casually referred to the Strait of Hormuz as the “Strait of Trump,” before quickly correcting himself, then insisting it wasn’t a slip.
“Excuse me, I’m so sorry. Such a terrible mistake,” he told the crowd.
“The Fake News will say, ‘He accidentally said.’ No, there’s no accidents with me.”
The remark drew laughs in the room, but behind the scenes, it’s not entirely a joke.
Trump has reportedly privately floated renaming the waterway the “Strait of America,” or even after himself, if the U.S. succeeds in wresting control of it from Iran, according to The New York Post.
One administration official reportedly told the Post that the U.S. is “taking the Strait back” and suggested that if America ends up policing it, “why should we call it Hormuz?”
This branding of the world with his disgusting name — which should be a name that joins the pantheon of names that no person would ever willingly claim — is the strongest sign of his fundamental personality disorder which is getting worse every day.
Unfortunately, he’s sullying the name of our country right along with his own.
