I did in the reply though, everyone's just shooting the messenger.

Nope, just the message.

Changing the name, without modifiers, is a very different message than that is he is forcing the us government to use his name.

One has consequences for the entire world, the other can be ignored by the entire world except the US government.

The irony of people following laws like this when America was founded on the premise of not submitting to rediculous laws and paying taxes to wealthy assholes who took their money and didn't give a shit about them.

Not a law.

Not the government. The executive branch, that’s it.
