Trump's Name Game Politics: A Lake Ontario Sign and a Whole Lot of Attitude The recent spat between US President Donald Trump and Canadian Premier Doug Ford over the naming of Lake Ontario is just the latest installment in a long running series of name games played by the Trump administration.
This dispute follows a pattern of behavior where Trump seeks to impose his own brand of nationalism on international bodies of water.
The issue itself may seem trivial, but it's striking how petty this particular dispute feels. After all, what's at stake here is simply a lake name – hardly a high stakes issue on the world stage.
