"He's just trolling"
What a cool and appropriate thing to be at 80 years old, as a sitting President.

Google, Apple, etc.: impose this renaming on Canadian maps at your own reputational risk. You will invite a backlash.

Ontario is named after the lake. The lake isnt named after the province.

Every time he does something petty like this I am reminded that Americans voted for him twice. Not just because he was 'the other guy'. He got through primaries. Twice. Millions of people adore him. America is deeply deeply unwell, and the rest of the world needs to do whatever we can to keep ourselves safe from whatever madness is coming next.
