How many things will he rename before he's done?

We all know how Trump likes to rename things...and put his name on things. Things that are sacred and treasured, things that are not about him, or belong to him. Because he wants to, and because he can.
''Donald Trump gets a deep sense of personal satisfaction, ego reinforcement, and absolute control by attaching his name to public spaces and national institutions.'' via google. And as we know, him showing his power is a must for him.
Now he wants to rename Lake Ontario to Lake America. The lake is jointly owned by Canada and the US...Canada does have more shoreline. This is all over the tariff situation, Trump wanting power in Canada, and basically his own desire to rule what he wants to rule.
I don't like this. Canada is special to me. My grandparents lived there a long time, and had two children there, my mother and an aunt. I have connections there.
Canada doesn't want to be part of the US.

His jokes unfortunately come to fruition at times. I have noticed almost no one says “Gulf of America “ which is good.

What an Ahole. All the toilets in the US should be named for him
Their slogan could be "Take a dump on Trump."

I just saw this on our evening news, and my husband and I chuckled.
It is too bad that he carries on as he does.
He is making history, events and actions that will long be remembered and studied and probably questioned and criticized.
I suppose that next he may refer to our country as non-French, as our bilingualism was a point that he wanted STOPPED in the negotiations. I suppose that those who speak both official languages could stop speaking French and begin speaking his jibberish, you know, just hit up the social media platforms with ignorant remarks.
My goodness.........what or who next?
I think that for the most part, he has no fans here north of the 49th Parallel, but his countrymen are still appreciated and loved.

I checked it on more than one site before I posted it...it's picked up by all major news, and he appears serious even to the fact-checkers.

He is an idiot and does not understand that thing like this should be left along, They are the Great Lakes and they have their own names and no one should rename any of them,
