Illinois Gov. Ridicules Trump's 'Gulf Of America' Proposal With 1 Of His Own
HuffPost
JB Pritzker trolled the president on Friday by claiming he planned to rename Lake Michigan as Lake Illinois and annex Green Bay.
Illinois governor JB Pritzker decided to troll Donald Trump’s plan to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America” with a devious plan of his own.
On Friday, Pritzker posted a (probably) satirical video on social media where he announced a plan to change the name of Lake Michigan to Lake Illinois.
“The world’s finest geographers, experts who study the Earth’s natural environment, have concluded a decades-long council and determined that a great lake deserves to be named after a great state,” Pritzker began.
“So today, I’m issuing a proclamation declaring that hereinafter, Lake Michigan shall be known as Lake Illinois. The proclamation has been forwarded to Google to ensure the world’s maps reflect this momentous change.”
The announcement seems to have been intended to mock Trump, who said last month that he wants the Gulf of Mexico to now be called the “Gulf of America,” because “it’s ours.”
