A viral 2025 social media post from the parody account "Jack Kimble" suggested President Donald Trump had predicted the renaming of Lake Ontario to "Lake America." The post, which garnered attention amid escalating US-Canada trade tensions, appeared to foreshadow Trump's executive order renaming the lake.
