After Gulf of America and Lake America, Trump says he floated ‘Trump Ocean’ — Google wasn’t having it

US President Donald Trump made mention of his attempted renaming of an ocean to the "Trump Ocean" during a campaign rally in Georgia on Friday, according to German news agency dpa. The claim was made during Trump's discussion of previous attempts to alter geographical names, including his executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of America" and Lake Ontario as "Lake America."
Google Maps reportedly adopted these name changes for U.S. users. When asked about the idea of a "Trump Ocean," Trump claimed he had sent Google a labeled map, but the company representatives dismissed the idea, stating that oceans span many countries and that such a change was not possible. Trump stated that he had only jokingly suggested the idea this time, adding that it was not his worst idea.
The authenticity of this alleged exchange with Google has yet to be confirmed. Trump has previously proposed renaming other geographical features, such as the Strait of Hormuz as the "Trump Strait," likely aiming to provoke Iran, with whom the U.S. is at war.
