... "So, the lake change, Lake of America, was something I've been thinking about for a long time.

Actually, as you know, we took something called the Gulf of Mexico. We changed it, and now it's very routinely the Gulf of America. So, if you think about it, we have a gulf and we have a lake," he said.

"Now, all we need is an ocean. So, maybe we'll have to change the name of the Atlantic and/or the Pacific. Maybe we'll change them both." ...

Lewzer quotes:

"Why Is @BarackObama constantly issuing executive orders that are major power grabs of authority?"

"The country wasn't based on executive orders,"

"Right now, Obama goes around signing executive orders. He can't even get along with the Democrats, and he goes around signing all these executive orders. It's a basic disaster. You can't do it."

The world doesn't give a ---- about Trumps pathetic executive orders. This just makes him an even bigger laughingstock.

It would however be hilarious if the Canucks pulled the same trick renaming Lake Michigan Lake Canada. MAGA heads would explode.

"We called him Old Yeller. The name had a sort of double meaning. One part meant that his short hair was a dingy yellow, a color that we called yeller' in those days. The other meant that when he opened his head, the sound he let out came closer to being a yell than a bark."

Yet more evidence that the current President of the United States is an emotionally disabled fool.

I'm sure he now believes that he's won the war with Canada.

An urban youngster completing The Red Badge of Courage (Stephen Crane, 1895) would then be tempted to read Old Yeller (Fred Gipson, 1956), thinking that was the Southern or rural slang for "yellow" or "coward," and hence another war novel for an adventurous young library goer.

Oops!
