President Donald Trump says the United States is giving “serious consideration” to renaming one of the Great Lakes as relations with Canada’s most populated province sour.

Trump posted on Truth Social Tuesday morning that he’s thinking of changing the name of Lake Ontario to “Lake America.”

    This man can’t have an original idea, can he? It was either going to be “Lake America” or “Lake Trump”. Same reason his foreign relations policies are but a single word.

      He doesn’t need an original idea, all his fans wanted this point is for him to shout and wave his tiny little hands a bunch.

      Actually the repetition is a good thing. Drain the swamp. Make America great again. All he has are stupid quips for people to repeat ad hominem.

    This is really no different than dementia grandpa going off about random shit at the dinner table. It’s just embarrassing for everyone involved.

    I cannot believe this man is still the president of the United States.

    I’m already most of the way out of the google ecosystem with Graphene and alternatives, only thing left is authenticator (for work) and maps. If i EVER see Lake of America on google maps, i will be deleting my google account and never coming back.

    Just like with the infamous “Gulf of America”, the world will not care besides laughing about the Americans.

    So… Gulf of America to the south and Lake America to the north?

    I wholly expect both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans to be renamed “the Great American Ocean” next.

    He can name it whatever he wants, the only thing I care about is where they’re going to bury that piece of shit so I can piss on his grave.
