What the hell? So shady business practices are now acceptable?
Trump's right hand must be tired - he's been signing so many executive orders lately...

Honestly I can see the logic in it if you take the same "fuck everyone else" stance China does. If this is the logic, then Trump sees that if you want to compete with China, you have to fight dirty
On the other hand, this is more likely a way to get his own personal contacts a lot of American money
THIS IS NOT A DEFENSE btw. I am saying it's not some weird unhinged decision like most of what he's been doing. This one appears to be at least a measured, if down right evil, decision.

It also covers foreign entities processing bribes in US jurisdiction (not necessarily involving US officials). That just clears the way for those international entities to bribe US company affiliates. I wonder that companies might benefit from that.....

Next thing you know Russia is building the next Air Force One and Two and the Saudis are building weapons for the military.
It's gonna be crazy.

Trump can't even get rid of the penny properly. He's right that they lose money on the penny (3-4c to produce) however, the nickel costs $0.14 to make, and they'll need more if they get rid of the penny. So the mint could actually lose more money getting rid of the penny.
Apparently our nickels only cost about 4c to make, so we're ok.

There's no reason they couldn't switch to nickel plating like Canada, is there? They have no problem getting copper domestically

The name change for the Gulf of Mexico will be reflected in other regions, as well. According to Google, both “applicable names will be shown.”
“When official names vary between countries, Maps users see their official local name. Everyone in the rest of the world sees both names. That applies here too,” Google said.
An example of this practice is the Sea of Japan, or the East Sea, the name of which has been in dispute between Japan and South Korea. In Google Maps in the United States, the sea is designated as the Sea of Japan (East Sea).
A similar naming procedure is set to be used for the Gulf of Mexico in regions outside the United States.
| This happens with borders as well - there's an area in India/Pakistan that's disputed where the border appears differently depending no where you're from.

This happens with borders as well - there's an area in India/Pakistan that's disputed where the border appears differently depending no where you're from. | So does that mean the US actually put through the official paperwork to rename it within their country?
