The Shores of Trump's Lake America, It's Still Lake Ontario

The article says it’s still Lake Ontario, despite President Trump’s order renaming it “Lake America” for U.S. federal agencies. In Oswego, New York, a northern New York Republican county legislator insisted the name would not change in practice: “It’s Lake Ontario.” The piece frames the move as part of a battle over naming, suggesting the effort to rebrand the lake may already have been overtaken by local usage and resistance. Beyond the federal rename, it highlights a gap between official paperwork and the way residents continue to refer to the body of water.
