Trump signs executive order to change Lake Ontario to ‘Lake America’ | CNN Politics

https://www.cnn.com/2026/08/27/politics/trump-canada-lake-ontario-america

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.

Often described as ignorant, he changed over 300 Wadiyan words to "Aladeen," including the words "positive" and "negative," causing mass confusion.

Doctor: Do you want the Aladeen news or the Aladeen news?

Patient: The Aladeen news?

It's best to still manually remove them so you don't leak tracking info. Google still sticks the tracking ID at the end, they just don't show your name to the world if you have it disabled.

Also good to turn off the share ID setting just in case you forget.

You all laugh, but think for a moment about the poor cattle rancher currently sitting on the toilet with his lettuce diarrhea, worried about the pending foreclosure of all he has and when the ivermectin is finally going to kick in for little Billy Jr's case of measles.

But then upon his porcelain throne he sees his dear leader with the courage and genius to redraw the name of the lake he didn't remember existed from its communist foreign name to a name he knows and can remember, because it's the name of where he lives and also two of his daughters.

And finally, for the first time since Obama's shadow government made him wear a mask in 2020 for the hoax pandemic that doctors claimed killed his elderly parents but everyone knew was just a flu and also engineered by Fauci for maximum damage — he knows.

He knows it's going to be okay.

That when Billy Jr beats this made-up measles thing and little America One and America Too and the whole family loses the ranch, that they can go to the Lake that is now their heritage by the only name they need to learn it.

And then he'll float, staring up into the heavens, finally at peace secure in the knowledge that at long last the greatest President since Jesus is cradling his heart and interests in his diminutive bruised hands, exhausted from all the renaming of water.

Trump has wide latitude over how the US government refers to geographic landmarks...

This is how it worked for the "Gulf of America," too. The president can't force map publishers to use his names. He can only force the career public servants in the federal government to use his names.

Google Maps (to name one of many) changed "Gulf of Mexico" to "Gulf of America" of their own accord. And that will be the case this time, too, if Google follows through.

It's one part of the low-level thinking that high-control groups enforce, to keep people from asking questions and finding the evidence. For example that all the other rich countries pay much less for healthcare with better outcomes, get better worker benefits and satisfaction and all that makes healthier people than the usa system. It shows that they don't want that for everyone, just them and theirs, the selfish tradition is strong!

Your name is still John, except now you have the advantage of easily recognizing Captain Kiddiefucker and his cult of pedophiles and idiots because they’ll all call you Guy.

That’s basically what this EO does.

minorkeys@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 6d

So long as the Supreme Court and the Legislative Branch play along, like they are not supposed to, then yes. He makes a demand through EO and if the world around him goes along with it, that's all it really takes, people making the choice to agree to it. Then it's between the groups that go along or don't and which side eventually wins.

In another example, China successfully pressured various businesses and political groups change how they refer to Taiwan only a few years ago. They also just renamed various eastern Siberian cities from Russian to Mandarin names, in their own references. Whether this works is completely dependent on the world going along with it or not.

Carney should rename lake Michigan lake Canada, especially because it has no border with Canada (actually debatable, as Michigan and Huron are essentially the same lake as far as water goes).

No, he should not be a toddler and do real government work instead. No one cares what a demented old man wants to call a lake.

I wish he'd print these maps out so he can shove 'em up his arse.

Honestly I don't care anymore, the evil guys won. They're going to enact all of project 2025, it's too late to stop. The constant barrage of insane demoralizing news has worn me out. Which was part of their goal the entire time. It would be particularly pleasant if someone changed my mind.

If half USA does nothing but scream in to the void(internet) about their current president, what you expect to happen ? Nothing.

sydd@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 5d

I don't believe you get it, I don't care anymore. I hit my limit. What meaningful change do you really expect to happen at this point? The seeds are already sown.

Who do you file paperwork to rename things? Bureau of Naming Things?

Part of me is glad they didn’t decide to try to call it Lake Ohio.

It doesn’t touch the state of Ohio, but I sort of expected them to fuck that up.

Don't bother changing signage, it'll go back here soon.

Based on his pattern they would be called: "People of America"

setsubyou@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 6d

For some reason he likes replacing these Native American based names with one of Italian origin.

Sheesh. Ontario, New York is right there, and Wayne County in which it's located went bright red in 2024. Some people in Washington really need to learn how to manage a stupid narcissist without creating a bunch of work for everybody.

I mean, they already figured out that fig leafs work in the other direction.

kreskin@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 5d

His executive orders are meaningless to everyone except federal employees. Almost all teachers, almost all law enforcement except ICE and FBI are state employees. So he can executive order himself blue in the face, the citizens can ignore whatever he says. He can shove his executive order straight up his arse.

He's not a king, he's an administrator with limited power.

Fart noises from his general direction.
