Copying popular apps is the de facto business model of the software industry. Just look at video games: pretty much any "genre" that exists is rooted in copying a type of gameplay that was popularized by an originator. And how many LLM AI programs are there currently?

U.S. territory extends 12 nautical miles into the water. That's all that could be renamed by a U.S. president. So any mapping program would be totally correct in showing 'Gulf of Mexico' for a zoomed out view and 'Gulf of America' for a zoomed in view that includes the 12 mile limit.

Tariffs will just trigger tariffs on US goods.

Yep. Trump's tariffs on soybeans from China resulted in retaliatory tariffs by China that hurt U.S. soybean farmers so badly that they needed a taxpayer funded bailout.

FYI: the current trade agreements for North America and China were negotiated by the 1st Trump administration. Trump abandoned both NAFTA and TPP in order to do his own deals during his first term. So if he thinks the U.S. is being taken advantage of by Mexico/Canada/China per trade, then that means his own deals were garbage.

Why don't they question all the lobby money they get?

Bunch of hypocrites. The reckoning its coming.

They don't question it because there are a lot more rules/regulations that have to be followed with lobbying (like lobbyist donations made to campaign funds) than there are for an inauguration. Example: an inaugural committee isn't required to provide details on how the donations are spent. That was an issue with Trump's 2017 inauguration because Trump took in twice the amount of $$ that Barack Obama received from donors in 2009 but held far fewer inaugural events than Obama did.
