Naming stuff after himself is certainly a good demonstration of his narcissistic tendencies and is tactless. I do think the criticism over this is fair but I don’t consider it that high on my list of priorities given it doesn’t materially affect anyone. We should probably have limits, and a good demonstration of that is the failure to rename the Kennedy Center. I do agree that the ads should be criticized, but there is precedent for previous presidents having done something similar, not that it makes it above scrutiny but rather not so bad. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

He also renames bodies of water, mountains and even AI then has a tantrum when people don’t use them. This ain’t troubling behavior? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

> I don’t consider it that high on my list of priorities The problem many Americans have is that these are the top priorities of the president. Even the Iran war was more about him and his legacy, to "be the guy" who ended it, not understanding Iran's ability to inflict damage on allies and close the straight, because Trump removed many of the people who have been analyzing this for decades. Perhaps there were good reasons prior presidents have not decided to do this. Then he turns around and does deals with Putin while blaming Zelensky for diesel prices... it's all so shameless, it should be shameful. If you listen to oval office or state room events in full, you will hear him forget what he is talking about and go to his standard ballroom, arches, name on this or that. He's more focused on himself than anyone else. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
