WASHINGTON, Aug 27 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump renamed Lake Ontario “Lake America” on Thursday, escalating a feud with Canada that has already spawned tariffs on tens of billions of dollars in cross-border trade.
I actually thought the video was ai when I saw a clip. I was thinking ha not again.
Canada should rename Trump Lake to Lake Epstein, and the island in the lake should be North Epstein Island.
I’m rather tired of this executive order nonsense. Can things really be changed so easily with an EO decree? If so, things are severely broken.
An executive order is a directive to the executive branch of the federal government. Nothing more. The POTUS is given broad discretion over the executive branch under the US constitution. But, executive orders are not laws and do not apply to anyone aside from the people who effectively report the president.
Not that directives from the president can’t have a tangible impact. They certainly can. This particular tantrum, however, does not and will simply be ignored by everyone else.
Can things really be changed so easily with an EO decree?
Legally? No. Effectively? Yes.
If so, things are severely broken.
They are indeed 😮💨
EOs are meant to be policies or orders on how to manage some power or other that Congress assigns to the president to manage something. They are instructions on how to do something or an order for federal agencies to carry out some action. Trump is just blustering.
Having the president replaced with a prime minister elected by congress may happen if the DSA gets their way
Scotus has been reversing lots of them. This will be as well.
Just your daily reminder that the President of the United States is a delusional narcissist with the emotional development of a toddler.
Hey now, all the toddlers I know are far more emotionally developed
Seriously. Let’s not besmirch the toddlers!
So like Twitter and the Gulf of Mexico, it will be known as Lake Ontario from this day forward!
The former Twitter is X and there’s a new, improved, nothing-to-do with Musk, Twitter started.
" Trump’s executive order on Lake Ontario, one of the five Great Lakes of North America, applies to U.S. federal usage about the lake, and does not govern what Canada, international bodies or other organizations call the lake."
Its pretty much just like a tarriff that only Americans have to pay?
I think the correct response for Carney would be to rename the USA “Mexico Jr”.
Let’s not call it Lake America or Lake Ontario. Let’s compromise. Let’s call is Lake Epstein.
Man’s got an island already. And I suppose he would’ve wanted a minor contribution instead.
I’d agree on renaming Mar-a-lago, you?
You’ve piqued my interest alright!
Bro, please don’t make me live next to Lake Epstein.
How is that helpful? Make it relevant to Trump. Lake Trumpedo.
Lake Trump-fucks-children
If the next president doesn’t sign an EO to rename trump “little pedo bitch” I don’t know what we’re even doing
Little kremlin pedo bitch, pls kthx
He’s a LPB.
Not even embarrassed anymore. Just tired. So very tired.
You mean ‘Creepy Uncle Touchy’, the paedophile formerly known as Donald Trump.
Its the same I declare bankruptcy energy from Michael Scott. You took the map in your own home and wrote over it. What does he think Canadians or the rest of the world are going to do it too? They’re simply laughing at us right now. Every time I think we can lose more respect on the international stage they find a way.
OrangeNaziPedo raped those girls, and killed one of them
Okay, but people are too busy watching AI brain rot to be bothered.
I’m sure this will work, he’s great with water… the gulf of mexico, the reflecting pool
Not to mention the Strait of Hormuz. (Didn’t he literally try to rename THAT the Strait of America too?)
Vote to rename it the Homosexual of Hormuz
the gulf of mexico
You’re delusional. In East America (the old “Europe”) we know it’s called Gulf of America. Same for West America (Japan) or North West America (North Korea).
East America is right across the Right American Ocean.
What an idiot! edit: Make an executive order for a mandatory first child name be Donald. Why not?
