I suppose we should be grateful he didn’t force his own name at the last minute. I suppose he still has time.

Well, after this week, it would actually be 'The America Telescope' wouldn't it?

Very unlike Obamacare, which so far as I can make out was mostly a name given to the thing by its (and Obama's) opponents.

Is this a joke or just a demonstration of ignorance? The name Obamacare was not given to it by Obama, but by opponents of the law. The Obama administration just leaned into it. Blame conservatives if the name bothers you, not Obama and his administration from the time.

Wrong. Obama himself uses that name https://www.washingtonpost.com/video/politics/obama-i-like-t...

		Reread my comment. I said he leaned into it. If you are unfamiliar with that phrase it means (in this context) that he accepted and adopted the term, but he did not coin it. Which was your original, false, claim.
