Episode Details

Trump’s latest geographic stunt? Renaming Lake Ontario to “Lake America”—echoing his past Gulf of Mexico rename. But here’s the kicker: only the U.S. Board on Geographic Names can officially change such names, and even then, global adoption is rare. Think Burma/Myanmar or the South China Sea—names shift slowly, often stubbornly, across borders and cultures. So while the idea’s out there, don’t hold your breath for a new lake name on your map anytime soon.
