I think it’s just making the point that anyone can name anything whatever they want, but it doesn’t change what people call it. Obviously Trump thinks he’s God so he probably actually thinks something has happened as a result of his declaration.
The stupid thing is every country and every language has always had different words for the same places.
Not sure this falls flat or worse. It’s the Gulf of Mexico. That’s it. Nothing else. Not even a conversation. “It is what it is”

The French don’t call it France.
