MapQuest stood up to President Donald Trump, and now its app is reaping the rewards.
The “OG of online mapping,” as the company calls itself, announced on Thursday that it would not change the name of Lake Ontario on its maps to Lake America, despite Trump’s executive order directing the U.S. Department of the Interior to update the lake’s name in the U.S. geographic naming service. As a result, MapQuest’s mobile app downloads soared, sending the iOS app to the No. 4 position on the U.S. App Store’s Top Charts for apps (not including games) as of Monday morning on the U.S. east coast.
MapQuest also reached the No. 8 position overall in the U.S. App Store across both apps and games, and it became the No. 1 Navigation app in the United States.
so the army is probably still in power of trump but let’s say the midterms are very obvious in favor for the democrats. i doubt that the army is very much interested in supporting this fascism further, Trump has already disgraced himself in front of all the leaders in the army, they’re not very keen of Trump.
That is a much different statement than the one above implying that states could potentially secede. Even with the lows we’ve sunk to, secession has basically no popular will behind it and guarantees bloodshed.
I think that a (for Trump) failed midterms might avoid bloodshed, in case of secession, although that itself gets more unlikely then. But since a lot of powerful supporters of Trump are in California I also think it’s fairly unlikely anyway …
