Does Trump understand that toddlers aren't allowed to vote (... yet)?
(Granted, that doesn't include adults who think like toddlers...)
The only way Trump could get "Lake America" or "Gulf of America" on maps outside of MAGA's dominion (which currently includes the federal government) would be if he could get titanic artificial landmasses spelling out the names constructed in them before the end of his term... not going to happen (well, I hope...).
[Edit: on second thought a few other countries, like Russia and North Korea, might also institute the change... what great allies he has]

More substantively... it's insane hyperpartisan toddlers vs top scholars (and the resilience of the Canadian people):
Quote
Trump's adjutants are floating even more escalation [...] despite the potential blowback on the US economy and GOP midterm election prospects.
[Meanwhile,] Harvard, MIT Scholars Head North as Carney Offers Millions
Canada has awarded 64 global scholars with C$504 million ($362 million) in funding to relocate their work to Canadian universities and advance projects in areas such as health and artificial intelligence.
[...] Canada's top economists told the country's finance minister that the damage from the spiraling trade war with the US should be manageable

Trump has signed an executive order renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America (geofenced in the states obviously, for the rest of us it won't change).
It should bother Americans that your asinine potus is spending his time on this petty nonsense instead of trying to make your lives better.
Fun fact: The Last time the Americans tried to claim Lake Ontario in 1813, we intentionally lured them to Fort York and then blew up the entire gunpowder magazine to kill as many Americans as possible. A foundational part of Toronto history is "blowing our own fort to smithereens rather than being American"
So...you know...what a toolbag.

Every day he spends puttering around with naming lakes and designing ballrooms is a day he isn’t invading Cuba. So it’s a win
