Trump Threatens to Rename Lake Ontario as He Spirals Over Canada Feud
Literally watching a toddler tantrum in a full grown, dementia-addled, man-child.

I guess he needs to distract from the bad trade deal negotiations with Canada to distract from the illegal war going poorly with Iran.
Which is just a distraction from releasing the epstein files.
Totally normal behavior.
Speaking as a Michigander… ( now in California) So stupid. It’s also a shared border with Canada. It is international waters. So we would have a different name for it than Canada. It is already in America, too. North America!
You also learn in school the initialism of HOMES, to remember all of the lakes for a quiz or life or whatever. Not that that matters as much as his pettiness as a “leader.”
He is an absolute embarrassment.
Is he also going to rename Ontario, California?!
The Gulf of Mexico was also international waters and that didn't stop him.
Good point.
I would post the clip of Christopher Walken in Seven Psychopaths, but that would imply Walken is Trump, and that is an insult I could not completely atone for.
I say Canada renames the greatest of the great lakes, the Superior lake, in honor of 45/47, to Lake Pedo
Hmm let’s rename Lake Michigan to Lake Epstein files.
Yeah? Like the Gulf of Mexico?
That one didn’t stick either.
Gordon Lightfoot simply would not allow it
I could 100% believe trump or one of his idiots tried to make that demand.
But if he didn't, and Ford just made that shit up, I 100% support that tactic.
Every other country should just do the same shit to trump at the same time.
I want to hear Aussies saying they can't deal with trump because he demanded the legally define any blade over 3 inches as a sword and not a knife.
I want England to say he wants them to ban beans on toast.
Germany to say he wants to force all beer to be non alcoholic.
Italians saying he wants to ban gluten.
Flood the zone with so much shit he's constantly on the defensive and doesn't have the energy to start actual wars or even trade wars.
Keep the baby distracted till midterms and maybe we can get rid of him thru congress. Or at least get him in check somewhat.
I also love how we all basically take this as confirmation that this did in fact happen.
He denies anything that he doesn’t think makes him look better
That's the entire point...
Past behavior is often a reliable indicator of future behavior.
That's it, South Canada has gone to far!
It’s humorous that this moron thinks he has any authority to rename any geographical feature. Literally no one calls it Gulf of America except the sycophantic spineless supporters and businesses like Google and Apple.
A complete fucktard.
FreshParsnip threatens to rename the Whitehouse the Circus Tent 🎪
And they could do it, too!

Lake Dumbokkkracee
Oh good. I thought my blood pressure was getting a bit low.
No need to worry, it won't even be reflected on any map worth using
(just noticed that it doesn't even get mentioned as an alternative name in the Wikipedia summary lol)
This is the stuff worth ignoring. He can call it Lake Freedom Fries, Lake America, Lake Trump, or whatever. That doesn’t mean Canada or New York will change the signage of the area. It’ll be another dumb Google Maps change that will vanish after this guy finally leaves office.
I just renamed the local landfill here 'Trump's turd'. He should be happy now.
Holy shit, this administration is such a fucking embarrassment.
Why would anyone care how Americans call something? On American maps it would be Lake Trumpario. And?
What Google Maps shows for the Gulf of Mexico still pisses me off, and I have no skin in the game since I have no ties to anything Hispanic in nature. It's just wrong.
For you as a .de user, probably not much right now outside of you getting to make fun of the incompetence of Americans with a dementia addled man who has a book of Hitlers speeches on his nightstand in charge of a waning super power.
Longer term, there are going to be impacts to you as he destabilizes the global markets, screws with the energy market, this time with Canada, which might be good for you guys, and continues to deteriorate trade and military alliances with America's allies.
And at any rate, it's always good to make fun of fascists, their ego's can't stand being mocked.
Sea of Diarrhea.
Cha-Cha-Cha
He can piss up a rope, the rest of the world will patently ignore it, just as we do with Mexico’s Gulf.
Ill put money down that he names it after himself....Lake Trump
So...I predicted Lake Melania in 2025. What do I win?
Global warming
Nunavut beach front! yay!
This has to be a distraction.
We should rename it with a long indigenous name so he has to pronounce it live on tv.
Just gonna start calling Superior Lac Au Canada until the regime ends
Lake So Much Winning 😂
