The Maga president had been out of the White House fighting criminal lawsuits and the prospect of prison. His 2024 presidential victory assured that the Orange Messiah had redeemed himself in the faith of Religious Right. It was not a landslide. Only 58% of the eligible voters participated in the electoral process. Trump received 28% on the actual vote. His Democratic rival lost by 1,500,000 votes. Roughly the combined population of of North and South Dakota. North Dakota is one of the two states to which I have not been. Kentucky is the other. Both came out for Trump in a big way.
Judging from his first month in office Trump had spent the last four years making lists and his slurry of executive orders has revealed the depth and breadth of his spleen. No one or thing is safe and last week he forced the US Government and Google to erase the Gulf of Mexico from existence. That body of water had been so-named since the Conquest. Almost five hundred years. Poof. Gone. Wikipedia's search engine still responds in the old fashioned way, but it wasn't always called the Gulf of Mexico.
In the Aztec religion, the gulf was called Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl, or "House of Chalchiuhtlicue", the deity of the seas. The Maya call it Naha. The big water. Believing that the sea and sky merged beyond the horizon, they called the seas Ilhuicaatl, meaning "sky water. The Aztecs were landlocked, the Mayans on the sea. I go with The Gulf of Naha. I have tried to annunciate the Nahuatl version and Naha is much easier. Fuck Trump.
