Trump Launches Lake America Merchandise
Trump is already selling $55 Lake America hats after renaming Lake Ontario through executive action.
President Donald Trump has initiated the sale of merchandise featuring the new name "Lake America" for Lake Ontario, just a week after signing an executive order to rename the lake. The Trump Store offers a Lake America Hat for $55, made in the United States and featuring a red cap with the slogan. The merchandise push follows Trump's official renaming of the lake, which has sparked a dispute with Canada.
The White House announced the name change on August 27, with Trump claiming the United States plays a dominant role in protecting the Great Lakes system. However, Canadian company Jackpine Dynamic Branding has seen a surge in sales of its own Lake Ontario caps, which still bear the original name, after the controversy.
