Trump says Google rejected his idea to rename ocean after him
WashingtoncTypeface:> US President Donald Trump on Friday told supporters about his alleged attempt to have an ocean named after him and Google’s refusal to go along with the idea....
US President Donald Trump addressed his supporters at a campaign rally in Georgia on Friday, recounting an alleged proposal to rename an ocean after himself. Trump claimed he had suggested either the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean be renamed the "Trump Ocean" to representatives from the internet giant Google. Google, according to Trump, vehemently rejected the idea, stating "We've had it. That's enough. We're not doing any more."
Trump had already renamed the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of America" by executive order in 2025, and Lake Ontario on the Canadian border, which he renamed "Lake America" in August of the same year. Google Maps incorporated both changes for users within the United States. Trump insisted he had sent Google a map labeled "Trump Ocean," but company representatives firmly declined the proposal.
Trump explained that oceans spanned many countries, making it impossible to name one after a single individual. Trump claimed his remark was merely a joke, but added that it was not the worst idea he had ever conceived.
