Donald J. Trump took to Truth Social on Tuesday to say that the United States is seriously considering renaming Lake Ontario “Lake America,” citing deteriorating relations with the Canadian province of Ontario. He suggested the name change could happen because he does not expect the U.S. to continue doing much business with Ontario.
In other words: Apparently, when the trade relationship goes south, the lake gets a new name. It appears that Ontario Premier Doug Ford telling Trump to "kiss my ass" didn't go down well with the fragile President.
Our "deal-maker" President failed to secure a deal with Canada, so he's being mean to a lake. Who could have predicted this!?
Trump was roasted on social media.

“President Trump floated the possibility of rebranding Lake Ontario as ‘Lake America,’ in a shot across the bow against Canada’s most populous province — whose premier threatened to cut off electricity and minerals to the U.S,” the New York Post reports. Said Trump: “The United States is giving serious consideration to changing the name of […]

Last March it was revealed that the Trump DOJ stabbed its antitrust lawsuit state partners in the back and struck a terrible settlement with Ticketmaster, scuttling a generational opportunity to break up one of the more glaring examples of modern monopoly power. Quite a curious choice for a Trump-addled party that spent all last election […]
