All of the Great Lakes, except Superior, have First Nations names.
Interestingly, Michigan is the only one entirely within the US. But I guess a Chippewa name meaning “Great Lake” doesn’t bother him as much as that of a Canadian province.
Hmm…If he finds out there’s an Ontario in California (!) and Oregon, will he want to change those? What about Montreal, Missouri and Quebec, Montana? Vancouver, Washington? Toronto, Ohio and Toronto, Kansas? Ottawa, Illinois?
Here’s one that will make him wring his little hands: Mexico, New York.
This whole renaming thing is another distraction from the pre-programming of the election results to give Donald ginormous MAGA majorities in both houses of Congress.
He (through Musk or someone like Musk) pre-programmed his “win” in 2024, and he’s doing it again now. We need to stay focused on that. Time for prevention is running out.
Please do not tell donald dump or he will want to name it after himself! I do not want anything named after dump Trump in Washington State, or for that mater in the USA !
100% He needs to be in locked ward some where. Maybe they can make a replica of his office in a hospital where he can be confined. A phone that is answered by nurses who can pretend to be politicians and leaders. Natalie can be his forever caretaker.
I still say Gulf of Mexico and I’ll continue to say Lake Ontario. I like familiarity and I DON’T like change, especially without American citizens having a say.
First Nations and Native American peoples gave the Great Lakes original names in their own languages long before European explorers arrived.Indigenous Names and MeaningsLake Superior: Called gichi-gami (or gichigami), an Ojibwe word meaning "great sea" or "large body of water".Lake Michigan: Called michigami, an Ojibwe word meaning "large lake" or "long body of water".Lake Huron: Called karegnondi, a Wyandot/Huron word meaning "fresh water sea".Lake Ontario: Comes from the Iroquoian word oniatarí:io, meaning "lake of shining waters" or "great lake".Lake Erie: Derived from erielhonan, an Iroquoian word meaning "long tail," originally named after the Erie people who lived along its shores.
Oh do not for a second think he would care even if he could understand what you were saying, which I doubt. If this does not convince the world that the US President is an incoherent senile old man nothing will.
As a proud Nasty Canadian who served as an Officer in the CAF Reserves, and my family members who served and died in WW2, I remind people that DJT is the character we fought against and defeated. Fascism promoted and actively indoctrinated in the US, led by a psychopathic, demented, and narcissistic man toddler is an insult to all who served our respective countries.
To constantly face the constant threat of annexation bu a former ally is unconscionable. To be betrayed by a long term friend creates a emboldened and fierce adversary.
To add more insult to an existing injury is that my partner who is a Staff Sargent in the US Army who was deployed on December 5 for 3 months to Kuwait. She's still there, her base has been hit and morale is low.
When she returns she is moving to Canada with her 2 little dogs currently in the care of a friend. I pray she and the other troops deployed with her return soon and safely.
The renaming an international lake should be the last thing on the mind of a "president". The well being of citizens are of primary concern.
The alienation of the US from long term allies will last for many years to come. Screw the name of a lake, work for the people who elected you. That's for DJT and all members of Congress. Grow a spine and a pair and remove him from office before he destroys the planet.
I'm so sorry that the world has to put up this fucking moron. I hate to think what's going on behind the scenes while he's sucking up all the air time.
I see it this way: 1. Blackmail, learned from Cohn, Putin, the Russian Mob, and The National Enquirer, 2. The carrot - promises of power and money to all who are on his side and go along with everything he says, (also the potential for PERMANENT Republican power in all 3 branches), 3. Fear of their own constituents, who they already know are idiots, and it only takes one crazy to destroy a person's life and/or family. 1/6/21 taught them all that Trump's cult members are violent idiots who will do his bidding at any time.
It's absolutely astonishing to me how indoctrinated Americans are who seemingly worship their political parties as much as their false Christianity. The entire situation in the US is reminiscent of 1930s Germany with the vitriol, the hate of minorities the same as Nazi Germany. The constant barage of lies is dangerous.
I agree, but as you know the majority in the Congress are his party and they are all afraid to do anything in spite of the fact that he has only 30% approval rating
Canadians are doing our best at standing up to him, and holding the line against insanity...for us and for you! It's time more countries and more US politicians tell him that the Emperor has no clothes. Time to storm the castle.
You big baby. Whiney britches! Take a good look folks, that’s power in the United States today! You going to follow him? I’m going to run the other way!
You have missed Mary’s wit and her point. SHAME is the mnemonic that would replace HOMES for remembering the names of the Great Lakes IF that ludicrous fantasy ever became real. Which it won’t.
The First Nations named Lake Ontario. End of discussion.
All of the Great Lakes, except Superior, have First Nations names.
Interestingly, Michigan is the only one entirely within the US. But I guess a Chippewa name meaning “Great Lake” doesn’t bother him as much as that of a Canadian province.
Hmm…If he finds out there’s an Ontario in California (!) and Oregon, will he want to change those? What about Montreal, Missouri and Quebec, Montana? Vancouver, Washington? Toronto, Ohio and Toronto, Kansas? Ottawa, Illinois?
Here’s one that will make him wring his little hands: Mexico, New York.
There's also a Canada, California. That should drive him nuts. Sorry, MORE nuts!
What will he do about the Ford Motor Company? Or will he demand Doug Ford change his name?
Yes these names are old and traditional. Many of them celebrate indigenous tribes and individuals.
Lake Superior, a geographic description, might be spared should Drumpf correctly recognize that it is all about him.
This whole renaming thing is another distraction from the pre-programming of the election results to give Donald ginormous MAGA majorities in both houses of Congress.
He (through Musk or someone like Musk) pre-programmed his “win” in 2024, and he’s doing it again now. We need to stay focused on that. Time for prevention is running out.
There us also a lake named America in Washington State. American Lake is a lake located in Lakewood, Washington at Joint Base Lewis-McChord.
Please do not tell donald dump or he will want to name it after himself! I do not want anything named after dump Trump in Washington State, or for that mater in the USA !
Mentally ill with malignant narcissism
100% He needs to be in locked ward some where. Maybe they can make a replica of his office in a hospital where he can be confined. A phone that is answered by nurses who can pretend to be politicians and leaders. Natalie can be his forever caretaker.
Love your suggestion!
Wouldn't it be nice.
It's Ontario. I don't F'n care about his stupid " executive " order. It's not A law so he can go suck it.
Indeed!
If he had his way, planet Earth would be renamed planet trump.
I still say Gulf of Mexico and I’ll continue to say Lake Ontario. I like familiarity and I DON’T like change, especially without American citizens having a say.
Especially when a psychopath plays with a marking pen.
Is that what tempestuous toddlers with crayons become?
Double Ditto!!
American citizens having a say? They don’t belong to the goddamn United States. That’s not how this works.
and other parts of the world affected, such as Canadian re Lake Ontario and the rest of the hemisphere (at least) re Gulf of Mexico.

Trump thinks Indians are nasty -- except the ones who run successful casinos.
Good one! So true! He’s the nastiest fair weather friend I’ve ever seen. Thank God I never encountered him in person! He’s pond scum to me!
He is nasty
Evil !!!!
and he's probably envious of them... given his own record with casinos.
Oh do not for a second think he would care even if he could understand what you were saying, which I doubt. If this does not convince the world that the US President is an incoherent senile old man nothing will.
I'm pretty sure that the rest of the world worked that out a time ago. It suits Vlad, Kim and Benji a dream.
And being propped up by some of the obscenely richest men in the world. They love that he gets all the attention and all the blame.
To me they are not even human or humane!
Absolutely
That’s for sure!
I like the idea! Let us return the names of the lakes to their original Native American Names!
I think the names of the Great Lakes are their original native names.
Also The Donald is prejudice when it comes to Native Americans!
Of course he is.
And yet if he had one human chromosome in him he might just might be different!
Yes they are connected to native tribes.
And yet his family came here from Europe destitute! That’s in Mary Trump’s books!
Distraction from the Epstein Files.
YEP!!!
AND Donald Trump's behaviors with under aged girlies. Psychopath Donny!
one hears that Niagara will be renamed the Epstein Falls ...
We're going to name the town dump, Trump's Dump.
Chump Trump’s Dump!
What DECADES of HISTORY have shown us ALL....
trump has NO LOYALTY to ANYONE ELSE EVER...
INCLUDING NO LOYALTY to his OWN GOP maga!!
WE ARE NOT INTIMIDATED!!
SAVE AMERICA and DEMOCRACY!!!
VOTE 'EM ALL OUT!!
THEN LOCK 'EM ALL UP!!!
WE ARE STRONGER TOGETHER and WE CAN DO THIS TOGETHER!!!
I still say Gulf of Mexico and I shall call this Lake Ontario fro the rest of my life!
Meant ‘for’. I’m too fast in my typing!!
So will everyone else.

Respectfully.
We in the US often forget how many Canadians gave their lives in WWII—and did so before Pearl Harbor.
My dad's cousin was in the first contingent to ship out in 1939. He was killed Feb 1944.
WW1 Canada was in the war from the beginning in 1914-1918, the US didn't get involved until mid 1917.
I'm so sorry that the world has to put up this fucking moron. I hate to think what's going on behind the scenes while he's sucking up all the air time.
What confounds us in Canada and around the world, is the lack of gumption, a spine and a lack of balls in Congress refusing to use the 25th Amendment.
Hopefully, Democrats sweep the House and the Senate.

It will always be Lake Ontario and Gulf of Mexico! One more thing he’s added to our misery and mental anguish! I’m so sick of his narcissistic abuse!
Trump's mentor, Roy Cohen, taught him to kick, bite, eye-gouge and punch until he gets what he wants.
And to make no apologies when he’s wrong.
He's soon to join his mentor.
You mean like a nasty 3 year old baby?
He is a totally pathetic asshole, The world needs to ignore him completely until he finally dries up and blows away.
You big baby. Whiney britches! Take a good look folks, that’s power in the United States today! You going to follow him? I’m going to run the other way!
I’d rather run him over…with my words, of course! Wink wink😉
SHAME!! Perfect Mary!
Still Gulf of Mexico , still Lake Ontario and still PBI to me
I'm an old airline dog and I still call DCA 'National.' Fuck that DJT bullshit.
SHAME, Is all you can say, Mary L Trump?!?
Why are you Not YELLING, HERE?
"My Uncle Donald J Trump Is A Mad, Crazy, Old, Man with Power!
STOP HIM NOW!
I AM CALLING FOR HIS REMOVAL FROM POWER, NOW!
Are you with Me?"
You have missed Mary’s wit and her point. SHAME is the mnemonic that would replace HOMES for remembering the names of the Great Lakes IF that ludicrous fantasy ever became real. Which it won’t.
Anne Hopkins...Thanks for educating Alamar re: (SHAME) very kind 🙌
SHAME is the names of the Great Lakes under trumps alternative reality.
Hell, he may as well cut to the chase and rename the entire world. He wants to rule it anyhow.
Oh puleeze! Never gonna happen! That’s when I’ll start a class action suit! And I’m not joking!!
He can do that from his padded room in the elder care facility.
