Prince like Burma ceased to exist, addled Trump doesn’t know this. Normal people don’t call countries by previous names. Your comparisons are poor.
If Babe Ruth became quirky and decided to change his name to the player formerly known as Babe Ruth - he still is EFFING Babe Ruth - is he not?!? Babe Ruth will always be Babe Ruth just like Burma will always be Burma. Some things in life never change.
Who was the 38th President of the United States? Gerald R. Ford, Jr. or Leslie Lynch King, Jr.?
Elon Mush is a drugged up maniac that happens to be the richest guy in the world who all of the sudden has a hard on for Trump and his deficit spending. He is rubbing Trumps face in it by posting old tweets of Trump attacking deficit spending.
Trump is reportedly furious with him.
Who you got in this one?
Will Taco do his Taco thing?
The best outcome will be Musk threatening to use his money to primary any Republican that votes to pass this abomination of a bill.
Trump's influence against Elon's money.
Imagine what it says about a country when that orange sack of sh** has any influence whatsoever?
But yeah, he has it. And very possibly more than any R in history?
If there is a god, he's not blessing America. (wokely, he/she is not blessing America)
And hey, a good reminder that annoying pronoun stuff is WAY, WAY more important than democracy, and the rule of law, and "small government," and decency, and honesty......

False analogy. A country is not a person.
Burma no longer issues passports. Myanmar (The Republic of the Union of Myanmar) does. So, to prevent people from entering the country, you are looking at their passport.
Is this the biggest dea? No. But should the White House get this right? Yes. Do they look like slack-jawed idiots when they get this wrong? Yes.
Burma is not recognized by the United Nations or in legal or diplomatic context. Myanmar is.
The White House should never let this be in an EO:
(f) After reviewing the report described in subsection (d) of this section, and after accounting for the foreign policy, national security, and counterterrorism objectives of the United States, I have determined to fully restrict and limit the entry of nationals of the following 12 countries: Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen. These restrictions distinguish between, but apply to both, the entry of immigrants and nonimmigrants.
Proud, purposeful, feigned ignorance? Getting the libs, or something like that, I'd guess ("We don't pay attention to radical new woke names.....my soon-to-be toothless granpaw fought in Burma!")

As I heard pointed out on the radio this morning, the home country of the antisemitic attacker in Boulder - Egypt - isn't on the list.
In other times, one might say, "That's refreshing. Not a knee-jerk. Some evidence of a carefully considered list."

List methodology: Trump's staff had a few minutes to kill in between the daily orange pancake makeup application and his monthly anime intelligence briefing, so they gave him a Sharpie and asked him to circle an even dozen "shi*hole" countries on a large map.

Done.
With the exception of Iran, are they not sh’thole countries?

The Penn Wharton Budget Model projects that Trump's tariffs could significantly reduce long-run GDP and wages, leading to substantial lifetime losses for middle-income households. They also estimate that tariffs would reduce GDP and wages by more than twice as much as a revenue-equivalent corporate tax increase.

Great point.
AND a strange compliment, apparently, to wonderful Iran.
Bad (45): Trump appoints defensible people who do their best and then he fires them and says that they've always been terrible when they're not toady enough.
Much, Much Worse (47): Trump lets Musk absolutely rap* federal workers and many federal organizations.....AND THEN decides that he s*cks.
