Lake Ontario, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, and Lake Eerie are indigenous names, not American nor Canadian. Ontario is a county in NYS as much as it a province in Canada. They all borrow the name from the people that were here before the genocidaires arrived
TIL.
Let's let him do it if he can point to lake Ontario on a map
Knowing him he'll rename Lake Michigan by accident and then use black sharpie on live TV to change the lake's shores until he's "right"
did he do that on twitter while posting from a plane over the gulf of mexico
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.
I'm waiting for the "Straight of America".
Could you imagine if we dropped sea mines in the lakes? The midwest would just completely shut down.
He really needs a distraction, eh? What's coming down the pike...wait, don't tell me.
Let me guess... Lake of America?
Lake Contrario
Lake Inferior.
The sound of 73% of a continent that can't even.
What a weird little twerp.
Well I'm sure that will make Canada come around and consent to your terms for trade. This man is a master of psychology and the art of the deal.
Trump's lucky Canada is too classy to rename the Atlantic Ocean the USA Can Go Fuck Itself Ocean.
Lake Take Off, Hoser!
You mean like the Gulf of Mexico?
I might have to rename middle North America to Shittlerland in response.
I wish I could remember the name of the part of America that the main character travels through in Rapture of the Nerds, but I often reflect on that future version of America when I think of where these conservative asshats are taking us...
