Trump renamed a lake. So what?
President Donald Trump recently renamed Lake Ontario “Lake America.”
Honestly, most Americans probably don’t. Unless you live on its shores, I’d be shocked if you could even point to it on a map, given how ignorant most Americans are of geography.
But it’s Trump who issued the Aug. 27 executive order, so expect the left’s usual outrage – the same reaction we saw when Trump renamed the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America” on day one of his second term. Or when he tried to put his name on the Kennedy Center. Or any of the other times he's stamped his likeness on something.
“If you think about it, we have a gulf, and we have a lake, now all we need is an ocean,” Trump said at the signing, clearly trolling the media and other detractors. “So maybe we’ll have to change the name of the Atlantic and/or the Pacific.”
I don’t think Trump is seriously plotting to rename an ocean (though it's Trump, so who knows).
So here’s my advice to everyone suddenly attached to the name Lake Ontario: Chill out.
Trump puts his stamp on things. That's literally what he's done all........
