FWIW Trump can't rename geographical features. Only the U.S. Board on Geographic Names can do that; Trump can't go over their head.
What the executive order does is require all federal government agencies and employees to use an inaccurate place names. That, unfortunately, is a power he does have.

Where does this madness with the renaming on Google end? Can Trump call the Atlantic Ocean the “Trump Ocean” and they’ll fall in line? Can he name Minnesota “Big Fat Loserville” and it goes on the map the next day?
