    If they’re based in the US, they have to.

    The rest of the world doesn’t give a fuck about US executive order, so obviously life goes on and the places aren’t name changed in the real world.

      Executive orders do not apply to private companies. They apply to only the executive branch of the federal government - that’s why they’re called executive orders.

      AccuWeather is choosing to be on Trump’s side.

        That’s not exactly correct… They’re called executive orders because they come from the executive branch, not because they only apply to the executive branch.

        Executive orders primarily direct the executive branch, but they can also impose legally binding obligations on private companies when supported by constitutional or statutory authority.

        Now, is this executive order specifically legally binding and supported by the constitution, lol no, it only applies to what the government has to call it. The companies are sucking his dick and showing their true colors.

        Helpful to know your enemies, but completely harmless in and of itself. Recent estimates say the US can absorb seven more waves of Iranian attacks before they completely run out of interceptors, and interceptors ordered today won’t be delivered until 2029… Americans don’t realize just how badly Iran defeated them, and it’s why he’s openly contemplating using nukes, renaming a lake is a desperate attempt to distract from that.

        Trump tried to appoint the former owner of AccuWeather to run NWS in the first term. They were always on his side. They are also the reason the NWS site looks like it’s from 2006.

          Yeah but the NWS site works great like that. It’s a little hard to navigate, but that’s not a style problem.
