Trump Signs Executive Order: Fahrenheit Now “AmeriTemp”
12 minutes ago Charles Rotter

Washington, D.C. – President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order today renaming the Fahrenheit temperature scale “AmeriTemp.” “I did it, folks, it’s official”, straight from the White House.

“Europe’s metric system, total disaster,” Trump said at the signing. “Their climate scientists can’t even pick a name for temperature. Centigrade? Celsius? Who knows? They’re confused, weak. I’m fixing that with AmeriTemp—best name, strong, all-American. Done.”

The order says every federal agency has to use “AmeriTemp” now. Documents, weather reports, everything. It’s still 32 for freezing, 212 for boiling—perfect numbers, tremendous numbers—but now it’s got a name that wins.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Trump sure knows how to rattle democrat cages, doesn't he?  This will create as big a stir as The Gulf of America.  He'll get more publicity about the climate scam than ever before. :yowsa:

This reminds me of the 'Freedom Fries' nonsense after 9/11.  Renaming things does not fix issues.

"Political correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it’s entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." - Alan Simpson, Frontline Video Interview

   I think Trump is a heavy drinker which explains why his skin is jaundiced.   :chairbang:
No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

No, but it does a disservice to this guy: Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit
