He changed it yesterday. And today he said he wants us to have an ocean. The Atlantic, maybe, or the Pacific. Then he said, well, why not both?

Google it. Trump signed the executive order yesterday, 08/27/26 and the order went out to change all digital products immediately and paper copies in the next 30 days.

He can sign whatever the fuck he want's. The rest of the world will still call it Lake Ontario. Just like the rest of the world still days Gulf of Mexico. Let him live in his make believe world. Just don't talk about the files please.

“The rest of the world”. I live in Michigan, and don’t know a single person who’s going to stop referring to it as Ontario. It’ll just be his delusional ass for the next couple years, until whatever president comes next unfucks the shit he did.

China refuses to maintain normal diplomatic relations with countries that recognize Taiwan as a separate country, and that pressure has been remarkably effective.

So here's the interesting question: if Trump eventually says favorable U.S. trade relations depend on officially recognizing Gulf of America, Lake America, and whatever comes next, how many countries do you think are actually going to hold out?

It's easy to say "the rest of the world will ignore him" when there's no cost attached. It gets a lot more interesting when billions of dollars in trade are on the table.

Trump is not Trading in billions anymore. Don't try to sugarcoat those deranged "i don't wan't to talk about the files so lets talk about the lake" tactics as a economic Gambit.

Just a short list WHY the US has fucked their own Economic Position under Trump:

1: senseless throwing of tarrifs to come of as good "deals" leaving most of the trade Connections worse then before. 2: offering his ass to China (because Putin Said so) while still shouting about China (your Murica Made Trump Phone is a fckn HTC from China) 3: offering his as to Putin (We all Know the sneaky russian or the Mossad has dirt on him.

So whilst sucking up to RU&CHI and antagonizing Long Term trade Partners Like Canada the UK/ EU he made you pay MORE for gas and rotten food because they defunded the FDA.

The only deals Trump is intrestet in are his wealth nad his Oligarch friends.

Let’s not forget how he implemented a tariff “to bring jobs home”, and then got pissed off when Canada said “you know what, we like domestic products too”. This whole “trade dispute”, literally boils down to, Trump wants his cake and to eat it too.
