Things happen with Donald Trump – or do they?
Monday, 27 January 2025Well the big one which I really wanted to happen was the end of the Russian war on Ukraine. Trump announced he’d end the war in one day. He’s been at the White House now for seven days and the war in Ukraine? Still going on as far as I can see?
Then there’s the Gulf of Mexico becoming the Gulf of America. Given how enthusiastic the tech bros are about licking Mr Trump’s shoes you’d think they fix that pretty quickly? But on Google Maps ▼
And on Google Earth ▼It’s the same story on Apple Maps
Meanwhile, back at the inauguration, did Elon Musk flash a Hitler salute? Oh no, impossible, suggested the Musk supporters. Meanwhile in Germany, where presumably they know about these things, Dei Zeit headlined their story Ein Hitlergruß ist ein Hitlergruß ist ein Hitlergruß. Can’t argue with that although they had to blank out Mr Musk’s right arm since you can’t show Hitler salutes in Germany. Presumably even on X?
