Google Maps users, please report this aberration. You need to be logged in to report it. Finally, a reason to have a Google account.

This is standard practice no? Anything with disputed names they show whatever name is the official one in the user's region. This renaming is absolute garbage but he is the president and Congress isn't doing anything so it is what it is for now. If you don't like it - I mean if you can change a name once you can change it twice - 2028 is just around the corner
