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.

“Senile old pedophile tries to rename stuff but nobody cares”
Senile old person tries to rename a lake after his failure at a trade deal with longtime ally in a failed attempt at a win for his repeated failure at a war he started
“I can’t accomplish anything of substance so I’ll make idiotic stunts and hope my deluded supporters eat it up in Nov.”

USA is a joke!
What a deplorably designed country that one person can do all this wasteful stuff. Way more wasted by this party than the fraud they like to point out in some places, and no peep on where it’s actually worse. 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!
Can we just have one day without deplorable yank news?
I live here and I need it more than you.
Give it a few years. Our news is as bipolar as it gets. It will be positive eventually.
If you want no yank news at all… Well I have some bad news if you speak English and love on earth.
Such a pathetic Trumper Tantrum.
He’s such a child.
Someone get him a cereal box and some Crayons quick.
Imagine your boss asked what you’d done today and you showed him that he’d be fucking fuming.
Did he change the name for pedophile yes?
and a strait would be nice even though he doesn’t use it or want it
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.
I enjoyed reading this, bravo👏
Why can’t I find an obvious way to follow you and everything you post
I laughed so hard the first time I read this through I missed the whole last paragraph.
Was explaining the propaganda of that Great to be an American song to my son. He never heard it so pulled up the music video. I had never seen it just heard the song. But the video was just that. The man singing how great America is even has he is losing everything and becoming homeless. Pretty fuck up.
Pretty fuck up.
hey, that’s what they call me! Except they don’t call me pretty.
This is bait. Where are the Epstein Files? Why are we still in a failed elective war with Iran? Why are we having to use buy now, pay later for groceries? Renaming a lake is a distraction.
The dumbest fucking timeline
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?
Doctor: You are HIV-Aladeen
Just tell yourself that at the same time this was happening, the smartest people working for the Canadian government were planning how to best sanction all the red and swing states to deliver the most hurt.
I know he wants me to be pissed about this and he achieved his goal.
Be happy it’s not Trump Lake. He’s put his name on everything he can in this country. Just like a good dictator.
I love how he got minorly blocked from literally chiseling his name into the Kennedy Center, so now he’s talking about demoing the whole thing. True abuser mentality - if I can’t have it, nobody can have it.
I only just realized he renamed an airport after himself. Like, what the fuck did you do to deserve that?
He truly is envious of the authoritarians leaders in other countries.
I know people joke, but I truly hope he lives lot enough to see his legacy dismantled.
Not exactly. The dumbest timeline has each lake renamed to the Make America Great Again Lakes from left to right on the map.
If this isn’t the phrase of the year I don’t know what is.
It’s his projection to look powerful to his dwindling MAGA base because of his failure in Iran, along with the department of wars failure.
