Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers Responds to President Trump's Lake Ontario Renaming with Sarcastic 'Lake Wisconsin' Order
Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers responded to President Trump's executive order to rename the U.S. side of Lake Ontario as 'Lake America' by sarcastically issuing his own 'executive order' to rename Lake Michigan as 'Lake Wisconsin.' President Trump signed his order in the Oval Office amidst ongoing trade disputes with Canada. Governor Evers posted his humorous response on social media, stating, 'And I just renamed Lake Michigan Lake Wisconsin. See, I can sign napkins that say things, too.' This playful jab followed a similar response from Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, who announced he would 'rename' Trump Tower as 'Natalie Tower.' The original renaming of Lake Ontario by President Trump has been met with criticism from Canadian officials, including Prime Minister Mark Carney, who emphasized the lake's Indigenous roots and historical name.
