Seth Meyers mocks Trump’s ill-fated attempt to rename Lake Ontario

During a recent episode of his podcast, Seth Meyers lampooned President Donald Trump’s executive order that changed the name of Lake Ontario to “Lake America.” Meyers mocked the visual of Trump crossing out the original name with a Sharpie, suggesting the gesture would not alter the lake’s reality. He and producer Sal Gentile joked that the change would not appear on Google Maps, underscoring the symbolic nature of the act.

The order, signed on Aug. 27, has drawn sharp criticism, with one outlet/Ipsos poll indicating that 63 % of Americans oppose the rename. Notably, even vocal Trump ally Joe Rogan dismissed the move as a diversion from ongoing conflicts, such as the war in Iran. Meyers concluded that the episode reflects the administration’s broader inability to achieve substantive results.
