Well, that escalated quickly.
While many have noted that the Big Tech companies have appeared less hostile towards President Donald Trump in his second term relative to his first, it is still difficult to forget how openly many defied the truth during the 2020 election.
However, now that Trump has won, quite resoundingly, it seems that several Big Tech companies have not only become less combative towards Trump, but they have also become downright cooperative with regards to some of his most recent executive orders.
For instance, in one of Trump’s most highly publicized executive orders – “Restoring Names that Honor American Greatness” – it is clear that the administration’s intention is to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, as well as rename Mount Denali to Mount McKinley.
And, rather amazingly, Google is surprisingly playing ball, updating its own maps accordingly to reflect the name change encouraged by Trump.
According to a report from Forbes, Google has a “longstanding practice” of implementing name changes that have been “updated in official government sources.”
And that company is continuing with that longstanding practice by allowing U.S.-based Google users to see “Gulf of America” while Mexico-based users will continue to see “Gulf of Mexico.”
Worldwide, all other users will see both “Gulf of America” and “Gulf of Mexico.”
In other words, Google, of all companies, helped fulfill one of Trump’s key executive orders within fewer than two weeks of Trump taking office.
And it’s about darn time, given that the executive order really does focus on restoring the American greatness that Obama and his comrades steadily attempted to destroy.
Indeed, the order, which may be reviewed in its entirety here, highlights the patriotic principles underlying the Trump administration’s decisions.
“The Gulf will continue to play a pivotal role in shaping America’s future and the global economy, and in recognition of this flourishing economic resource and its critical importance to our Nation’s economy and its people, I am directing that it officially be renamed the Gulf of America,” the order detailed.
Which is precisely what Google just did, especially following the GNIS updates.
“The Secretary shall subsequently update the GNIS to reflect the renaming of the Gulf and remove all references to the Gulf of Mexico from the GNIS, consistent with applicable law,” the order continued, highlighting the action that prompted Google to follow suit.
The executive order also highlighted the degree to which past American presidents have been so grossly disrespected by the former Obama administration, in particular President William McKinley.
“We will restore the name of a great president, William McKinley, to Mount McKinley where it should be and where it belongs,” the order declared.
In other words, the executive order is undoing more damage wrought by Mr. Obama.
“President William McKinley, the 25th President of the United States, heroically led our Nation to victory in the Spanish-American War. Under his leadership, the United States enjoyed rapid economic growth and prosperity, including an expansion of territorial gains for the Nation. President McKinley championed tariffs to protect U.S. manufacturing, boost domestic production, and drive U.S. industrialization and global reach to new heights,” the executive order detailed.
Little wonder that Obama wanted to rename the mountain. How dare any president try to make America great, from McKinley to Trump!
“He was tragically assassinated in an attack on our Nation’s values and our success, and he should be honored for his steadfast commitment to American greatness,” the executive order added.
A fate that almost befell Trump approximately seven months ago … although he survived.
And he’s back in business, making America even better than before … while showing especially recalcitrant bureaucrats the door.
