'Trump Ocean'? Trump floats renaming Atlantic or Pacific by 2028

President Donald Trump expressed his desire to rename an ocean and a river before leaving office in 2028 during a rally in Clarksville, Tennessee. The remarks made at the event have sparked reactions on social media, with some mocking the idea and criticizing his focus on renaming locations. Trump discussed the plan during the rally, stating that he was contemplating either renaming the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean.

He suggested potential names such as "Trump Ocean" or "Ocean of the Americas." However, Trump ruled out renaming the Mississippi and Hudson rivers. He explained that he would not alter the Hudson River's name due to admiration for English explorer Henry Hudson. Additionally, Trump expressed his fondness for the state of Mississippi, having won it in the last three elections.

"We've got the Gulf, we've got a beautiful lake, and now somebody said, 'You need a river,'" Trump remarked. "I don't want to change the name of the Hudson River. Henry Hudson, he did a good job sailing up that sucker a long time ago."
