President Trump Honors American History of Great Lakes … And Renames Lake Ontario as Lake America

Lake Ontario to Lake America

From the Executive Order: The body of water currently known as Lake Ontario is a tremendous asset to the United States and part of our Nation’s heritage.  With the deepest parts of the Lake’s waters lying within United States territory, the United States claims most of the Lake’s volume…. In recognition of this flourishing economic resource and its critical importance to our Nation’s economy and its people, I am directing that the Lake officially be renamed as Lake America (White House).

BREAKING: President Trump officially changes the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America.

It was brought to our attention that Lake America was erroneously labeled as Lake “Ontario” on our website.

We have corrected this mistake and apologize for deadnaming the lake. pic.twitter.com/WJP7nA7AqQ

The move, of course, is part of an ongoing and escalating trade war. In the latest move, the U.S. is doubling tariffs on Canadian vehicles—to 50 percent. Wall Street Journal: That next phase of Trump’s tariffs, however, won’t take effect until Jan. 1, 2027, giving both sides plenty of time to return to the negotiating table. “The best thing to do is let some water run under the bridge and give everyone time and space to cool down,” said Kelly Ann Shaw, deputy director of the National Economic Council in Trump’s first term. “I don’t see any possibility of an off-ramp between now and September,” she said, adding, “Let’s see where things are in December” (Wall Street Journal).
U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Waltz thinks P.M. Carney is trying to tank Trump (and the GOP) in the midterms (Daugherty). Why? He’s banking on China for the new world order. Carney in January, speaking to Chinese Premier Li Qiang: I believe the progress that we have made in the partnership sets us up well for the new world order (YouTube).

TURN IT UP, AMERICA.

The liberals are already losing their minds over LAKE AMERICA… so naturally, it needed its own summer anthem.

And here it is — the FIRST song about Lake America.

“To whom it bothers:
Lake America is not a rebrand. It is a correction . . .
The lake just remembered who it always belonged to: the U.S.A.
Canada, you don’t get to run a trade surplus off the U.S., hide behind our military, and then lecture us about diplomacy because we renamed our own lake.
The predictable Liberal response: “You can’t just rename a lake!” . . . After they spent a decade renaming everything else in American life. Holidays, sports teams, syrup bottles, mountains, military bases, ice cream, and half the dictionary.
Here is the record they hope you forgot.
THE MAP AND THE CALENDAR:
Columbus Day Indigenous Peoples’ Day.
Mount McKinley Denali.
Lake Calhoun Bde Maka Ska.
Squaw Valley Palisades Tahoe.
Jefferson Davis Highway Richmond Highway.
OUR MILITARY BASES:
Fort Bragg Fort Liberty.
Fort Benning Fort Moore.
Fort Hood Fort Cavazos.
SPORTS:
Washington Redskins Washington Commanders.
Cleveland Indians Cleveland Guardians. Chief Wahoo got canceled first.
North Dakota Fighting Sioux Fighting Hawks, after the NCAA turned the screws.
Illinois retired Chief Illiniwek under the same NCAA pressure.
Valparaiso Crusaders Beacons.
YOUR PANTRY:
Aunt Jemima Pearl Milling Company.
Uncle Ben’s Ben’s Original.
Eskimo Pie Edy’s Pie.
Cream of Wheat kept the box but erased the chef.
Land O’Lakes removed the Indian and kept the land.
Mr. Potato Head Potato Head.
OUR INSTITUTIONS:
Boy Scouts of America Scouting America.
Yale’s Calhoun College Grace Hopper College.
Princeton’s Woodrow Wilson School the School of Public and International Affairs.
Dixie State University Utah Tech University.
THE DICTIONARY ITSELF:
Manhole maintenance hole.
Master bedroom primary bedroom.
Mentally ill non binary.
Blacklist blocklist.
Felon justice-involved person.
Illegal alien undocumented noncitizen.
Women birthing persons.
Hispanic Latinx, a word Hispanic Americans never asked for and still refuse to use.
And the list goes on and on and on.
They spent a decade teaching the country that names can be changed to fit the values of the people in charge.
God Bless Lake America!”

Lake Ontario is now Lake America.

Beavers love it.
Moose love it.
Birds love it.

Even the fish love it.
And the fish don’t like anything.
