Trump Says Google CEO Rejected His Request to Rename Atlantic Ocean on Google Maps
Variety ^ | October 22, 2026 | Todd Spangler

President Donald Trump, who has already renamed two bodies of water after America, said he would like to redub the Atlantic Ocean as well — but that the CEO of Google pushed back on the idea.

At a rally at Clemson University in South Carolina Tuesday evening, Trump told the crowd, “So we have a lake. And we have a gulf. Now we need a river, and we need an ocean.” Trump continued: “I only like two oceans: the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. I’m not gonna put either ‘Trump’ or ‘America’ on any other ocean but these two.”

Trump said he “seriously looked at” renaming the Atlantic Ocean and called Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet and Google, to ask whether Google Maps would rename the Atlantic.

“I said, ‘Sundar, I’m thinking of the Atlantic Ocean. Can you handle it?'” Trump recalled. According to Trump, the Google CEO responded, “No, no, no — this time I’m not doing it… Oceans are different, sir. They cover really a lot of countries. Please don’t ask us to do that.”

Harmless but effective. Make him an offer he can’t refuse.

Google arranges everything to be the left version.

Okay, so now make it clear this isn’t a “request.” Google is going to suffer badly for this.

The Trump gambit is a bridge too far.

The gambit is stupid.

Please don’t ask us to do that.

Meaning he will do it if asked, but he doesn't want to be asked. Trump should just go ahead and do it. This has been extremely effective against the dems.

Trump needs to spend exactly ZERO seconds on these silly things, and work to fight traitorous “judges” and deport, deport, deport.

He’s had months to end the war with Iran but keeps offering ceasefire and negotiations. Most Americans want lower gas prices instead of vanity changes to the map.

So, what’s wrong with “Trump Ocean”?

The Bermuda Triangle can also be renamed into “I Have Info On Hillary Zone”

Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should, especially right before elections.
