- MSNBC anchor Chris Hayes has labeled President Trump "deeply pathetic" after the commander-in-chief signed an executive order to rename Lake Ontario as "Lake America".
- In a video shared on TikTok, Trump scribbled the new name over a map of the lake using a Sharpie, directing the Department of the Interior to update US maps.
- The renaming directive follows the collapse of US-Canada trade talks, which resulted in 50 percent tariffs on $20 billion of Canadian goods and Canada's retaliatory measures.
- Trump previously ordered the renaming of the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America" and hinted at plans to rename the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
- Hayes criticized the president for focusing on landmark name changes, arguing that the American public wants cheaper petrol instead.
