Goofy. Childish. Embarrassing. How can his Party tolerate this insulting, shallow action.

If your representatives, president, and people in his administration are breaking the law, they need to suffer the exact consequences as everyone else living under the same exact laws. Rich, working class, and poor - it shouldn't matter.

BREAKING: "You cannot rename away our history!" Chief Margaret Sault of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation DESTROYS Trump's pathetic attempt to rename Lake Ontario.

The MAGA cult leader really bit off more than he can chew this time...

"Lake Ontario has existed for thousands of years, long before Canada and the United States became the countries we know today," Sault told Yahoo News Canada.

The word "Ontario" is rooted in indigenous language, although scholars disagree on the precise etymology. The government of Ontario officially traces it back to the Iroquois word "kanadario" which translates roughly to "sparkling water."

Earlier today, our sweaty, demented, pedophile of a President held a big splashy event in the Oval Office to scrawl on a map with a Sharpie and sign a document declaring that Lake Ontario is now "Lake America." It's the same tacky stunt that he attempted with the Gulf of America, but his administration is such a disaster now that only the most diehard MAGA cultists are falling for the distraction.

"For the Mississaugas of the Credit, this is not simply a lake on a map. It is part of our homeland and part of our history as a Nation," said Sault.

The MCFN has a long, storied connection to the western Lake Ontario area and their rights to the land are etched in a treaty dating back to 1806, after which they still controlled hundreds of thousands of acres and retained fishing rights at the Credit River, 12 Mile Creek and 16 Mile Creek.

"You can change a label on a map, but you cannot change the relationship that our people have with these lands and waters," said Sault. "You cannot rename away our history."

Trump's desperate renaming attempt is a transparent effort to pull headlines away from his failed Iran War and the Epstein files. At the same time, it's throwing red meat to his hooting, xenophobic followers who love it every time he insults or attacks a foreign country or marginalized group. These people will gladly let him torch the economy, drag us into endless wars, and cover up his sex crimes so long as they can chant "USA" at his rallies in a mindless braying mob.

Mississauga Mayor Carolyn Parrish sided with the Mississaugas of the Credit in a post on X—

"Dear Mr. Trump: Since the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation established their homes close to and along the shores of this lake, it has been our lifeblood," she wrote. "I, and everyone in Mississauga, am proud to be living along the shores of LAKE ONTARIO. We will defend its good name!"

As for us, we stand with Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and Canada. What about you?

Please ❤️ and share if you'll never call it Lake America!

BREAKING: REAL LEADER! Prime Minister Mark Carney hits back HARD at Trump's pathetic "Lake America" renaming — says it will be Lake Ontario "then, now ⁠and ​always."

This is going to drive MAGA off a ledge...

"The name of Lake Ontario derives from the Wendat word 'Ontari’io', which means 'the lake is beautiful, the lake is great," Carney wrote on X in French.

"This name dates back more than 400 years, well before the Canadian Confederation and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America," he continued.

"We know that the United States is changing. Their trade relations, their foreign policy, their national monuments, their hydronyms," Carney added. "Canadian women and men also know that things must be called by their name, and this lake is called Lake Ontario – then, now ⁠and ​always."

As usual, Carney struck the perfect balance between firm confidence and restrained class. He also managed to slide in a great little trolling jab with his use of the word "hydronyms" because there's no way in hell Trump knows what it means. It means the names for bodies of water, so Carney is also referring to Trump's pathetic effort to rebrand the Gulf of Mexico into the "Gulf of America."

This entire story is a transparent attempt by Trump to distract from his failed Iran War and our teetering economy. He can't pass any legislation because he's too lazy to design any, so he's taken to scrawling on maps with a Sharpie.

Carney is right that Canadians will just continue to call it Lake Ontario, but so will most Americans. Only the most diehard MAGA cultists are on board with this asinine idea and Trump has no control over our words. When the next Democratic President is sworn in, they can undo this farce with the stroke of a pen.

Please ❤️ and share if you're still calling it Lake Ontario!

@Republicans 21 million citizens lack ready access to the papers this bill demands. Noncitizen voting is vanishingly rare. You’re not securing elections, you’re adding barriers for eligible Americans.

States sue to block Trump-backed USPS mail-ballot rule after Supreme Court setback https://t.co/cvfKO5gXcP

[Scott Dworkin @funder]

In July the House passed a bill banning members of Congress from trading stocks.

Someone moved to make it cover the president too.

The committee killed it, 8 to 4.

Republicans wrote the rules and left Trump out on purpose.

Remember that in November.

I'm seeing some people ask why the Democratic Party and congressional leaders aren't doing more to challenge Trump's anti-voting executive order.

They were literally the first to seek a new injunction after SCOTUS ruled. I know, because I am their lawyer. https://t.co/zuQZRus7RL

If a bill were introduced in the Tennessee legislature to rename Nashville’s airport Dolly Parton International, it would pass unanimously.

Let’s make it happen, fellow Tennesseans.
