@HaimishTheRed@esjesjesj What mission? We're all laughing at him. Americans quality of life is decreasing.
It's still Lake Ontario for everyone else, this is impotent 😂
@PawlichM@esjesjesj What's strong about it? He renamed a lake that only some Americans will call by his new name?
This is his tantrum over getting told no by Carney, this is all he could think of 😂
You guys have fun in lala land, we'll all be calling it Lake Ontario and the Gulf of Mexico
@kyanbr_@esjesjesj It has no bearing on the rest of the world.
This is the geopolitical equivalent of flipping the table and throwing a tantrum.
He looks like an idiot, and America does to for putting up with him.
Immense loss of prestige
This will be an unpopular opinion on the Right but I think this is kind of dumb, even as a troll. Lake Ontario was given that name on maps by European explorers long before the Canadian province of Ontario was named. There are several cities in America called Ontario -- at least one of them predating the Canadian province by like 100 years -- because the word originates with native tribes in North America. It's not a Canadian invention. Canadians never uniquely owned the lake or the name. So in effect all you're doing here is actually giving them credit for a thing that wasn't theirs to begin with. Yeah it's funny when Canadians are upset I guess or whatever, but Lake Ontario, the name itself, is *American* history dating back many centuries. Not sure how you own Canada by deleting your own history.
Donald Trump’s habit of renaming geographic features rests on a peculiar misunderstanding of how naming actually works.
A president can order the Gulf of Mexico called the Gulf of America, or restore Mount McKinley’s old name by decree, but toponymy is not a monarchy. Names persist through use and convention, not through executive orders, and the rest of the world simply keeps calling things what it always has.
Mexico still says Gulf of Mexico.
Foreign charts, atlases, and everyday speech carry on unbothered, so the whole exercise collapses into theatre rather than policy, a renaming that changes nothing except how self-important the person ordering it looks.
What makes this genuinely absurd is the timing. The world is on fire, wars grinding on, alliances fraying, economies under strain, and the man occupying the most consequential office on earth is spending his attention relabeling maps that nobody outside his own government will bother reading differently. It says more about priorities than about geography.

A few days after US intel confirms that Russia just tried to blow up a cargo plane in Leipzig, Germany, Trump again praises Putin, additionally accepting the Russian dictator's word that he won't attack NATO, yes, the NATO that Russia is attacking.
This must go so hard if your dumb af
sidenote, the province is named after the lake, lake ontario existed before canada or even the usa were countries
but again, dumb af
@rei_software I commented, but I think you've already figured it out.
At least this is the only possible explanation I can think of, other than there maybe having been a significant amount of water trapped in the glacier before it collapsed
@rei_software When it hit the ground, it would have shattered, it also would have torn up dirt, and rock, and mixed with it. Then it also impacted a small lake, and all of that kept sliding downhill, picking up ambient heat as it goes?
@BabylontheGr8 I would never accept the money either, this is basic human decency.
I saw people ignoring a blind man asking for directions once, I had to run across the street to help him. It has always bothered me. It was in the business district and people in suits were ignoring him 😡🤬
@ERxICU_yakkun I've heard they'll just inject it right into the afflicted area, again and again.
I think in this case though, it's too much exposure. It's just over for you
