Trump Claims Increased Influence Over Google, Highlights Geographical Renaming at Kentucky Rally
At a Kentucky rally, former US President Donald Trump claimed that during his second term, tech giant Google shows him greater deference, saying it now "kisses my ass." He linked this increased influence to his administration's decision to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America and claimed to have renamed a Canadian lake as "Lake America." Speaking ahead of the US midterm elections, Trump urged voters to treat the elections as a referendum on his presidency while supporting Republican candidates amid concerns over economic pressures and the Iran conflict.
