President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday afternoon to change the name of Lake Ontario to “Lake America,” his latest escalation as he engages in a tense trade war with Canada.
“‘Lake of America’ was something I’ve been thinking about for a long time,” Trump said from the Oval Office. “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.”
Surrounded by large maps of the Great Lakes, Trump said the name change was “effective immediately,” and that his staff had “filed all the necessary papers, documents, everything else.” A White House aide claimed the lake “has most of its volume in the United States” and that the “deepest parts” are in US territory.
This was a joke someone said when they tried to rename the Gulf of Mexico, and if all their jokes become true, next one will be Trump’s head in Mt. Rushmore.
I said that when he announced he was going to put his own fat, pudgy, orange face on the $100 bill.
Hopefully his actual head.
Destroying that monstrosity would be a service.
Adding his mug is just one more reason to blow it to pieces…
Actually, we should just defer to whatever Očhéthi Šakówiŋ want to do.
Not possible. The rock is too unstable. There’s no room for it.
Why would that stop him? Chisel one of the others off.
