Vote in the midterm elections to stop Donald Trump's renaming binge

No matter how President Donald Trump spins it, America is at war in the Middle East. And rather than providing the serious leadership needed at this time in American history, he has chosen to focus on himself. Trump has spent his time shamelessly renaming national and international institutions and waterways to feed his ego. Look no further than his declaration renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America, and recently suggesting renaming the Strait of Hormuz to Trump Strait. Trump's renaming binge doesn't have to stop there. For example, he could consider renaming the Washington Reflection Pool Trump's Swamp, or the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts renamed Trump's Follies, or perhaps the White House Ballroom renamed Donny's Dance Hall. Many Americans are fed up with Trump's foolishness. At times it can feel hopeless, but we are not powerless. Our power is our vote. So get out and vote for change this November and rein in this foolishness. Bob Vetter, Madison Get opinion pieces, letters and editorials sent directly to your inbox weekly!
