Trump Signs Order Renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America
Trump: “Now, all we need is an ocean. So, maybe we’ll have to change the name of the Atlantic and/or the Pacific.”
President Donald Trump signed an executive order renaming Lake Ontario as Lake America as the trade war between his administration and Canada continues.
The order, Honoring the American History of the Great Lakes and Renaming Lake Ontario as Lake America, directs the Department of the Interior to update all systems to identify it as Lake America.
“This is a lake that has most of its volume in the United States,” Trump was told by a staff member. “The deepest parts of the lake sit in United States territory, so this will reflect that this is an American lake.”
🚨 BREAKING: @POTUS signs an Executive Order renaming Lake Ontario as Lake America.
Here is the text of the Order:
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered:

I’d say Trump joked when he mentioned an ocean, but we never know with this guy:
As you know, we took something called the Gulf of Mexico. We changed it, and now it’s very routinely known as the Gulf of America. So, if you think about it, we have a Gulf and we have a lake. Now, all we need is an ocean. So, maybe we’ll have to change the name of the Atlantic and/or the Pacific. Maybe we’ll change them both.

Trump recently slapped Canada with new 50% tariffs. Canada answered back with its own “dollar-for-dollar” tariffs.
Trump addressed the trade issue:
As you know, Canada has been ripping us off for a long time on trade, very sadly. Even the military, you know, we defend Canada for nothing. We don’t get anything. They don’t pay us to defend Canada, but we defend Canada, and they understand that.
As an example, we bought icebreakers. They’d like to use them. We have 11 brand new icebreakers coming in. They’d like to use the icebreakers.
They don’t pay for anything, and they want to be treated like a state. But they’re not a state. But they want to be treated like they’re a state. And so we just can’t do that anymore.
We lose on average over the last 15 years $60 billion dollars a year carrying Canada. So we just can’t do it anymore. We love the people of Canada. I don’t think their representatives do an appropriate job. Maybe they’ll change. I really don’t know. It doesn’t make much difference.
But we can’t let…the whole Canadian thing has been going on for decades, and it has to come to a stop. So we’re going to be doing tariffs on their cars that are coming in at a substantial level because we want to make the cars here. We don’t want Canada. You know, they can make their own cars if they want, and they can continue to make their cars for Canada, but we don’t want to make, we don’t want them to make cars for the United States of America. It’s very simple. Likewise, many other products. So, the lake change, the Lake of America, was something I’ve been thinking about for a long time.

lol he really knows how to piss people off
Can’t he hold off on this posturing til AFTER the mid-terms?
Okay, the Canucks are REALLY in for it now! Wait for his next Presidential Directive renaming Kraft Dinner as “Trump Dinner”.
Why?
Why not?
Because there are a lot of more pressing issues than the name of a Lake.
(Iran, gas prices, taxes, the military, health care costs, the overall economy, governmental waste, etc.)
You don’t have to go to the mat for every foolish issue that no one cares about. Stick to things that you can win instead of acting like a child who doesn’t get a cookie.
Next thing you know Trump will threaten to tear down the Kennedy Center because it won’t carry his name.
Oh wait………..
For those who don’t know Kraft Dinner (now officially called “KD”) is Kraft Foods Brand prepackaged Macaroni and Cheese.
“ Canadians make up 24% of Kraft Dinner’s global sales. That’s right, 1.7 million boxes are sold every week in Canada alone. There are 7 million boxes of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese sold each week worldwide, pretty startling that Canada gobbles up a near quarter of it consistently. So to answer How Much Kraft Dinner do Canadians eat? Nearly 7 million boxes a month. All of Canada’s KD is made in Mont Royal Quebec using mostly Canadian ingredients. It’s one thing that would be continuously produced even if borders closed…”

Donnie better throw some tariffs on the Mac & Cheese they import from Canada. Can’t have them undercutting American Mac & Cheese after all. Heck, Donnie could even change it’s name. How does Mac & America sound. Or perhaps Freedom and Cheese. Tariffs! Tariffs on Mac and Cheese, NOW!
Canada responds by renaming to Lake Inferior!
He should have renamed it Lake Trump. That would piss off both the Canadians and the democrats that are colluding with them.
Will the Dems split with Canada when they learn about brown food?
Imagine them having to swallow Donald Trump 7 million times a month -it’d break em I tell ya!
Renamed Lake Ontario to Lake America. Of for fecks sake. How’d that whole Gulf of America thing turn out for you Donnie. Oh yeah, people just pointed at you and laughed and then ignored you outright and it’s still to this day referred to as the Gulf of Mexico. Same will happen here. People will just point and laugh at you and it’ll largely be forgotten by next week when you pull another half-a**ed stunt. Perhaps you could rename the Strait of Hormuz to the Strait of America or some other idiotic name. The Strait of Freedom? Strait Trump? Strait America? The possibilities are endless.

I live near Lake Ontario. All the signs say “Lake Ontario.” Not to mention, I called it that multiple times in a book I’m writing. I’m sorry Mr. President but I don’t think the new name is going to stick.
It will take time….
Lake America
Gulf of America
Deal with it
OK, generally I try to give the Trumpster the benefit of the doubt, but I gotta call him out on this one.
It’s just…. not smart.
The Lake isn’t named after the Canadian Province, instead the Canadian Province is named after the lake.
The Indigenous Hurons named the lake that long before Europeans came here en mass.
Additionally….. naming a Lake after a country is pretty much just not done, other bodies of water like seas (or gulfs) all the time, but lakes….. not so much.
