WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump said Thursday he is renaming Lake Ontario to be known as “Lake America” in the United States as he exacerbates his trade war with Canada.

LOL. Most of the towns and cities in Upstate NY will need to change street names as well.

Think of it as a 21rst century broadside, and I don’t mean the naval variety. :-)

Sorry Mr. President...There is a boundary line running through the middle of the Lake and a Treaty which you cannot undo.
To: ProgressingAmerica
Be real...It’s plain ridiculous...and can’t be done.
To: ProgressingAmerica
I hope he renames Lake Michigan to Lake Donald Trump just to burn Chicago and Milwaukee democrats.

Apparently, Donald Trump wants everyone to give him a middle-finger salute on Jan. 20, 2029
He's well on his way to wards accomplishing that

Canada is run by communist nations.

What is the point of this? Gives the dopes a red dot to chase around while Trump wiggles the laser pointer with one hand, and conducts the real business with the other.

There is a county in New York state called Ontario but it doesn’t even border the lake. I suppose that is safe for now. :)

More than that. There is nothing positive that comes from this. I don’t know how people see this as a source of pride. It’s something a five year old would do.
