How’s the Ass of Trump looking, Google?

I wouldn’t call this an instance of that. Trump as far as I understand stupidly but legally changed the name.

Do you think that US Presidents named all of the other geographic features in the country by Executive Order? This is unusual and unprecedented at best.

I agree. It is unprecedented (and stupid), yet he did do it. As far as I know executive orders has been used as a do anything tool, so why would this specific thing cross the line?
Executive orders are a ridiculous and undemocratic notion to begin with, but the US does have them (together with Liberia, Nigeria, the Philippines).
